Viewing Altitude Records - Casio 3258 Operation Manual

Precautions Concerning Simultaneous Measurement of Altitude and Temperature
Though you can perform altitude and temperature measurements at the same time, you should remember
that each of these measurements requires different conditions for best results. With temperature
measurement, it is best to remove the watch from your wrist in order to eliminate the effects of body heat.
In the case of altitude measurement, on the other hand, it is better to leave the watch on your wrist,
because doing so keeps the watch at a constant temperature, which contributes to more accurate altitude
measurements.
• To give altitude measurement priority, leave the watch on your wrist or in any other location where the
temperature of the watch is kept constant.
• To give temperature measurement priority, remove the watch from your wrist and allow it to hang freely
from your bag or in another location where it is not exposed to direct sunlight. Note that removing the
watch from your wrist can affect pressure sensor readings momentarily.

data was recorded.

To clear the contents of a specifi c memory area
1. Use to enter the Data Recall Mode.
2. Use to select the memory area you want to clear.
• Note that the contents of the memory area you select will be
deleted as soon as you perform step 3 below. The clear operation
cannot be undone, so double check to make sure you really want
to delete the contents of the memory area you select here.
3. Hold down

Moon Data
The Moon phase and Moon age information that appears fi rst when you enter the Tide/Moon Data Mode
shows the data at noon for your currently selected Home City on the current date, according to the
Timekeeping Mode. After that you can specify another date to view data.
• If the Moon data is not correct, check your Timekeeping Mode settings and correct them if necessary.
• If the Moon phase indicator shows a phase that is a mirror image of the actual Moon phase in your
area, you can use the procedure under "Reversing the Displayed Moon Phase" (page E-81) to change
it.
To enter the Tide/Moon Data Mode
Use to select the Tide/Moon Data Mode (TIDE) as shown on page
E-24.
• After about one second, TIDE appears on the display, the display will
change to show the moon age.

Viewing Altitude Records

Use the Data Recall Mode to view manual saved altitude readings and automatically saved high altitude,
low altitude, total ascent, and total descent values. Altitude data records are created and saved in the
Altimeter Mode.

In such cases, total ascent (ASC) and total descent (DSC) values will show zero.
• When the total ascent (ASC) or total descent (DSC) exceeds 99,995 meters (or 327,980 feet), the
applicable value will restart from zero.
• When the total ascent (ASC) or total descent (DSC) value
becomes fi ve digits long, the rightmost (ones) digit is shown in the
lower right of the display. The nearby illustration shows the display
when the value of ASC-1 is 99995 meters.

Viewing Tide and Moon Data
The Tide/Moon Data Mode shows tide and Moon information for the Home City you selected in the
Timekeeping Mode.
• See "Moon Phase Indicator" (page E-82) for information about the moon phase indicator and "Tide
Graph" (page E-84) for information about the tide graph.
• All of the operations in this section are performed in the Tide/Moon Data Mode (page E-24).
Note
• It takes about two seconds to calculate tide graph data. You will not be able to display a setting screen
while data calculation is in progress.
• Moon age is calculated to an accuracy of ±1 day.
Tide Data
The Tide Graph that appears fi rst when you enter the Tide/Moon Data Mode shows the data at 6:00 a.m.
for your currently selected Home City (tide site) on the current date, according to the Timekeeping Mode.
From there you can specify another time on the same date.
• If the tide data is not correct, check your Timekeeping Mode settings and correct them if necessary.
• If you feel that the information shown by the Tide Graph is different from actual tide conditions, you
need to adjust the high tide time. See "Adjusting the High Tide Time" (page E-80) for more information.
To view Moon Data for a particular date, or Tide Data for a particular date and time

data for the date you selected. The calculation operation takes
about two seconds, and is indicated by movement in the Moon
Phase indicator and the Tide Graph on the display. You can use
