（3）How to correct altitude
About correction of altitude
The altimeter of this product calculates based on the atmospheric pressure. Some errors
may occur by change in atmospheric pressure and temperature change due to atmosphere
and diff erence in elevation. For this reason, make adjustments of altitude at points where the
correct altitude is known such as a starting point of a trail or during a climb.
Information on altitude can also be searched on a map or through the Internet.
① P ress and hold Button Ⓑ to switch to the altitude correction (ADJ) mode. At this time,
the altitude indication blinks.
② P ress Button Ⓔ or Button Ⓕ to correct the altitude.
When the unit is set to [m] (The value can be set in 1-m increments.)

・ P ress Button Ⓔ to increase the value by one, and press Button Ⓕ to decrease the value by one.
・Press and hold Button Ⓔ or Button Ⓕ to quickly increase or decrease the value by 10 meters.
When the unit is set to [ft] (The value can be set in 5-ft increments.)
・ P ress Button Ⓔ to increase the value by fi ve, and press Button Ⓕ to decrease the value by fi ve.
・Long press the Button Ⓔ or Button Ⓕ to quickly increase or decrease the value by 50 feet.
③Press Button Ⓑ to return to the altitude mode.

（6）How to start data recording (REC ON)
・ P ress Button Ⓕ in altimeter mode. "HOLd" appears on the display. Hold it down that way
for approximately 3 seconds to enter the REC ON mode. The "REC" mark blinks.
・ A ltitude is measured every 10 seconds even in the REC ON mode.
・ A ltitude can be corrected even in the REC ON mode. → Page 114
※Maximum 15 times of mountaineering data, of which one time is 24 hours, can be recorded.

【CAUTION】 E ven if altitude is corrected during REC ON, there is no infl uence on the recorded
values of average climbing speed, accumulated altitude and consumed energy.
Minus correction of a once measured maximum altitude and plus correction of a
once measured minimum altitude are not refl ected in an altitude recorded value.
【CAUTION】 W hen you move by ropeway or automobile, etc., it is recommended to set to REC OFF.
Even when REC ON is set, the data may not be refl ected in average climbing
speed, accumulated altitude and consumed calories when a certain speed is
exceeded.

（4）About climbing speed
・ C limbing speed represents the diff erence in altitude by moving per one hour in units of
m/h.
・ T he immediate preceding ascending altitude or descending altitude is converted into
amount of change in altitude per one hour.
・ T he indication is updated every 10 seconds.
・ I t is displayed at the top row of the altimeter display.
※Why is climbing speed required?
I t is extremely important to know your pace during climbing.
C onfi rmation of climbing speed is an important index to estimate whether it is possible to climb
up to a target point within a scheduled time.
I n general, the time required to complete a trail is based on climbing speed of 300 m/h as a
standard, however, climbing speed widely varies depending on mountain profi le, weather, age, body
strength and experience.
K nowing your average climbing speed is helpful to calculate the time required to complete the
route. Make sure to set up a reasonable and safe plans for mountain climbing.
（5）How to measure altitude again
・ A ltitude is normally measured every 10 seconds in altimeter mode.
When you want to immediately measure the altitude again, press
Button Ⓕ.
・ A ltitude measurement automatically stops after 12 hours have
elapsed since measurement starts, however, you can restart the
altitude measurement by pressing Button Ⓕ.
（7） How to display recording climbing data
・ P ress Button Ⓔ in the REC ON mode.
T he average climbing speed and accumulated altitude up to the present, the altitude
when REC is turned ON and the energy consumed up to the present are displayed.
※ W hen the climbing speed or accumulated altitude is displayed, guidance (▲) on the left side
indicates whether they are ascending or descending data in animation.
