    CHANGING BATTERIES IN WATCH The Loft uses a common CR2032 3v Lithium battery in both the watch and heart rate transmitter. These batteries are commonly available at camera, bicycle, electronics and drug stores. Normal battery life for the watch is approximately 1yr.

  • Page 5: Replacing The Transmitter Battery

    REPLACING THE TRANSMITTER BATTERY The Loft unit features a wireless heart rate transmission system. This system features a heart rate transmitter which is worn on your chest. Like the watch unit, the transmitter is powered by a CR2032 3v Lithium battery. Under normal conditions you can expect to get approximately 700-800 hours of transmitter use with a fresh battery.

    ALTIWARE SERIES BAROMETER FUNCTIONS The Loft is equipped with a highly sensitive barometer/weather station. The barometer measures the actual barometric pressure at your location and calculates the barometric pressure corrected to mean sea level. You can choose to display barometric pressure in either Inches of Mercury (inHg) or Millibar/Hectopascals (mbar/hpa). In the barometer display, the top line of the display always shows a graphic representation of the sea level barometric pressure over the past 24-hours.

    HOW THE ALTIMETER WORKS Because the altimeter system in the Loft relies on barometric pressure for its measurements, it is critical that you regularly calibrate the unit to a known altitude. For maximum accuracy, daily calibration is a must and if you are using the unit during times of changeable weather, the unit may need to be calibrated several times during the day.

    CHANGE ALTITUDE UNITS The Loft unit is capable of displaying altitude in either feet or meters. The user may change the units of the display between Feet or Meters using the S2 key while in the Altimeter Display.

  • Page 12: Storing Data Points

    The Loft is equipped with an Altitude Data Point memory system. This system allows you to capture to memory the altitude of a particular location along with the date and time of the capture. The Loft unit is capable of storing up to 20 individual Altitude Data Points.
