1.2 Button function

If key idle 30minutes and pressure change within 0.4hpa, LCD off. Press any button again to
resume nomal LCD display.
1.2.1 The "ALTITUDE/+" button
- While in setting mode, press "ALTITUDE/+" button to increase the value
- While in normal display, press "ALTITUDE/+" button to shift the display of barometer and
absolute/relative altitude.
- While in absolute altitude display mode, hold the "ALTITUDE/+" button for 2s, the absolute
altitude will be reset to relative altitude and the initial value is zero. Hold the "ALTITUDE/+"
button for 2s, the relative altitude will be reset to absolute altitude again. Relative altitude
mode is useful when accumulated altitude reading is desired.
1.2.2 The "COMPASS/-" button
- While in setting mode, press "COMPASS/-" button to decrease the value
- While in normal display, press "COMPASS/-" button to enter compass mode
- While in compass mode, press "COMPASS/-" to shift the display of the bearing direction in
compass points and in digital.
- Hold the "COMPASS" button for 2s to enter Calibration mode.
1.2.3 The "SET" button
- While in normal display, press "SET" button to shift the display of time and date
- While in normal display, hold the "SET" button for 6s to enter energy saving mode: LCD off,
but real time clock is still running. Press any button again to resume normal LCD display mode.
- While in normal display, hold the "SET" button for 2s to enter setting mode
1.2.4 The "HISTORY" button
- While in normal display, press "HISTORY" button to display the history data of barometer or
altitude with the time and date at which these data were recorded, press "ALTITUDE/+" to

  • Page 2 scroll up the history record, press “COMPASS/-” to scroll down the history record. Press “HISTORY” button again to exit the history mode and return the normal display. While in history mode, “HIS” will be displayed on the temperature reading area(4), the history data sets number will be displayed at the center of compass.
  • Page 3 2. Altitude Mode 2.1 Absolute altitude As the absolute altitude is calculated from the air pressure the change of air pressure would affect the altitude reading. To achieve a more accurate reading, it needs to be calibrated as pressure may change gradually. Important note: In order to set the correct absolute altitude reading, the altitude must be known.
  • Page 4 Keep your digital compass away from magnets or appliances which may contain magnetic objects, such as: mobile phones, speakers, motors, etc. This compass like most magnetic compasses, points to the magnetic North, which is slightly difference from the true North. Check section ‘3.2 Magnetic Declination’ for more information.
  • Page 5 WS110 will compensate the compass bearing wherever the magnetic declination is either westerly declination or Easterly declination automatically, if the user inputs the magnetic declination angle of the city which is close to the user’s current location during the calibration.

In compass mode, press “COMPASS/-” to shift the display of the bearing in cardinal indication and bearing in degrees. North indicator Cardinal...
  • Page 7 Example 2: Compensate the magnetic declination for Lisbon in Portugal (5-W), select -5 in the magnetic declination setting: Note: 1. The compass must be kept in a level position when in use. 2. Compass readings are easily affected by disturbing sources of magnetism, so the compass should always be used in the open air.
  • Page 8 will display automatic. The smaller the number corresponding to earlier time. This digits display is helpful when more than one day history data has been recorded. Press “SET” button to shift the display of time and date of record. Press “HISTORY” button again to exit the history mode and return the normal display. Max.
