BAROMETER/THERMOMETER
This watch uses a pressure sensor to measure air pressure (barometric
pressure) and a temperature sensor to measure a temperature.
• You can calibrate the temperature sensor and the pressure sensor if you
suspect that readings are incorrect.

millibars (mb). It really makes no difference, because 1hPa = 1mb. In this
manual, we use hPa/mb or hPa (mb).
Barometric Pressure Graph
Barometric pressure indicates changes in the atmosphere. By monitoring
these changes you can predict the weather with reasonable accuracy. The
barometric pressure graph shows the barometric readings for the past 26
hours. The flashing point on the right of the display is the point for the newest
measurement. Note that pressure graph readings are relative to the newest
measurement point. One dot above the newest point is plus 1hPa(mb)/
0.05inHg, while one dot below is minus 1hPa(mb)/0.05inHg. The following
shows how to interpret the data that appears on the barometric pressure
graph.
Note that if there are sudden changes in weather or
temperature, the graph line of past measurements may run
off the top or bottom of the display. The entire graph will
become visible once barometric conditions stabilize.
The following conditions cause the barometric pressure
measurement to be skipped, with the corresponding point on
the barometric pressure graph being left blank.

About Barometric and Temperature Measurements
• Barometric pressure and temperature measurement operations are
performed as soon as you enter the Barometer/Thermometer Mode. After
that, temperature measurements are taken every five seconds for the first
three minutes, and then taken every five minutes thereafter.
• The BARO indicator flashes on the display while a measurement is in
progress.
• The barometer automatically takes measurements every two hours
(starting from midnight), regardless of what mode you are in. The results of
these measurements are used for the barometric pressure graph.
• You can also perform a barometric pressure and temperature
measurement at any time by pressing C in the Barometer/Thermometer
Mode.
Barometer and Thermometer Precautions
• The pressure sensor built into this watch measures changes in air
pressure, which you can then apply to your own weather predictions. It is
not intended for use as a precision instrument in official weather prediction
or reporting applications.
• Sudden temperature changes can affect pressure sensor readings.
• Temperature measurements are affected by your body temperature (while
you are wearing the watch), direct sunlight, and moisture. To achieve a
more accurate temperature measurement, remove the watch from your
wrist, place it in a well ventilated location out of direct sunlight, and wipe off
all moisture from the case. It takes approximately 20 to 30 minutes for the
case of the watch to reach the actual surrounding temperature.
• You can change the measured barometric pressure unit between hectopascals/millibars (hPa/mb) and inchesHg (inHg). See “Changing the
Barometric Pressure and Temperature Units” for details.
• You can change the measured temperature value displayed by this watch
between Celsius (°C) and Fahrenheit (°F). See “Changing the Barometric
Pressure and Temperature Units”.
2271-3
ALTIMETER
A built-in altimeter uses a pressure sensor to detect the current air pressure,
which is then used to estimate the current altitude. The watch is preprogrammed with ISA (International Standard Atmosphere) preset values,
which are used to convert air pressure readings to altitude values. If you
preset a reference altitude, the watch will also calculate the current relative
altitude based on your preset value. Altimeter functions also include data
storage memory and an altitude alarm.
Important!
• This watch estimates altitude based on air pressure. This means that
altitude readings for the same location may vary if air pressure changes.
• This watch employs a semiconductor pressure sensor, which is affected by
temperature changes. When taking altitude measurements, be sure to do
so while ensuring that the watch is not exposed to temperature changes.
• Do not rely upon this watch for altitude measurements or perform button
operations while engaging in sports where there are sudden altitude
changes, while sky diving, hang gliding, or paragliding, or while riding a
gyrocopter, glider, or any other aircraft.
• Do not use this watch for measuring altitude in applications that demand
professional or industrial level precision.
How the Altimeter Works
With the Preset Values (No Reference Altitude)
• The watch measures the air pressure at your current location and uses the
built-in ISA values to convert it to the equivalent altitude.
With a Reference Altitude
• After you set the reference altitude, the watch adjusts its air pressure to
altitude conversion calculation accordingly.
• To determine the height of a tall building,
set the reference altitude to 0 on the
ground floor. Note, however, that you may
not be able to get a good reading if the
building is pressurized or air-conditioned.
• When mountain climbing, you can set the
reference value in accordance with a
marker along the way or altitude
information from a map. After you do this,
the altitude readings produced by the
watch will be more accurate than they
would without a reference altitude.
• Note that the following conditions will
prevent you from obtaining accurate readings:
When air pressure changes because of changes in the weather

reference altitude value set or because of certain atmospheric conditions.
• The displayed altitude value changes to
measured altitude falls outside the measurement range. The altitude value
will be displayed again as soon as the measured altitude is within the
allowable range.

About Altitude Measurements
There are two types of altitude measurements: those for displayed data
(Altimeter Mode measurements) and those for memory data (Memory
measurements).
Altimeter Mode measurement
This type of measurement is performed only when the watch is in the
Altimeter Mode. As soon as you enter the Altimeter Mode, measurements are
taken every five seconds for the first three minutes. After that, measurements
are taken every two minutes.
• The ALTI indicator flashes on the display while a measurement is in progress.
B
Altitude
Memory measurements
Memory measurements are taken independently of Altimeter Mode
measurements and stored directly into memory (along with the date and time
of the measurement) for later recall. There are two types of memory
measurements: “Auto measurements” and “Manual measurements”.
Auto measurements
With Auto measurement, the watch continuously performs measurements
whenever the minutes in the Timekeeping Mode reach 00, 15, 30, or 45, until
you switch Auto measurements off. The watch continues to take
measurements regardless of whether or not you change modes, so you can
keep a running log of altitude changes automatically.
Manual measurements
You can use the manual procedure to take a reading anytime you want to
store your current altitude data into memory for later recall. Manual memory
measurements can be performed only while the watch is in the Altimeter
Mode.
Selecting Auto or Manual Measurement
Use the following procedure to switch between Auto or Manual measurement.
Note that you cannot perform this operation while a preset Auto measurement
is already in progress.
To select Auto or Manual measurement
1. In the Altimeter Mode, hold down A until
the display clears. After four or five
seconds, either
reference altitude value (if set) will start to
flash, which indicates the setting screen.
2. Press D twice to move the flashing to the
memory measurement setting (AUTO or
MANUAL).

also stored into memory.
• The AUTO indicator flashes on the display when you start Auto
measurements. The AUTO indicator continues to flash (indicating that
measurements continue) even if you change modes.
• Auto measurement cuts off automatically whenever there are 49
records stored in memory. The 50th record measurement when you
stop measurement in step 3 above is also stored in memory.
• A final measurement is taken when you turn off Auto measurement,
and that data is also stored into memory. Such data is indicated by
FIN during the recall operation.
To use Manual measurement
1. Confirm that the MANUAL indicator is shown on the display.
• If it is not, use the procedure under “To select Auto or Manual
measurement” to select Manual measurement.
2. In the Altimeter Mode, hold down E until the watch emits a short beep,
indicating that a measurement is taken.
• Repeat step 2 whenever you want to take a reading.
• Button operation becomes impossible during the four or five seconds
that it takes to complete a measurement. Normal operation will return
once the operation is finished.
Setting a Reference Altitude
After you set a reference altitude, the watch adjusts its air-pressure-to-altitude
conversion calculation accordingly. The altitude measurements produced by
this watch are subject to error caused by changes in air pressure. Because of
this, we recommend that you update the reference altitude whenever one is
available during your climb.

Memory Data Management
Each altitude record includes an altitude reading, plus the month, day, hour,
and minutes the measurement was taken. Records are displayed in the order
they were saved.
Memory can hold up 50 records. You can store 50 Auto measurement
records, 50 Manual measurement records, or any mixed combination of Auto
and Manual measurement records. In addition, there are two extra records
that show the highest (max) and lowest (min) altitude values, from among the
displayed data (Altimeter Mode measurements) and memory data (Memory
measurements).
The following example illustrates how data would be arranged in memory after
you perform one Auto measurement (Auto 1), two Manual measurements
(Manual 1, Manual 2), and then one Auto measurement (Auto 2).
Auto 1 Auto 2
• Note that the highest (MAX) and lowest (MIN) records always are last.
Manual 1

Auto Measurement Records
• Performing an Auto measurement produces a set of records of all the
measurements taken during the Auto measurement session. Since Auto
measurement produces four altitude readings per hour (at 00, 15, 30, and
45 minutes of each hour) leaving Auto measurement turned on for two
hours would result in a set of eight records.
• The following shows how the records that make up an Auto measurement
set appear when you recall them.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Question: What causes incorrect direction readings?
Answer:
• Incorrect bidirectional calibration. Perform bidirectional calibration.
Remember that bidirectional calibration is required whenever batteries are

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 require
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.
The following describes what you should do to give priority to either altitude or
temperature.
• 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 hand 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 momentarily affect pressure sensor readings.

Auto Return Features
• After you perform an operation in the Recall, Alarm, and Stopwatch Modes,
pressing D returns to the Timekeeping Mode.
• If you leave the watch in the Digital Compass, Barometer/Thermometer, or
Altimeter Mode for 10 to 11 hours without performing any operation, the
watch beeps and automatically returns to the Timekeeping Mode.
• If you leave a screen with flashing digits on the display for two or three
minutes without performing any operation, the watch automatically saves
anything you have input up to that point and exits the setting screen.
Data and Setting Scrolling
The E and B buttons are used in various modes and setting screens to
scroll through data on the display. In most cases, holding down these buttons
during a scroll operation scrolls through the data at high speed.
Timekeeping
• The day of the week is automatically displayed in accordance with the date
(year, month, and day) settings.
• The year can be set in the range of 2000 to 2039.
• The watch’s built-in full automatic calendar automatically makes
allowances for different month lengths and leap years. Once you set the
date, there should be no reason to change it except after you have the
watch’s batteries replaced.
12-hour/24-hour Timekeeping Formats
The 12-hour/24-hour timekeeping format you select in the Timekeeping Mode
is also applied in all modes.
• With the 12-hour format, the P (PM) indicator appears to the left of the hour
digits for times in the range of noon to 11:59 p.m. and no indicator appears
to the left of the hour digits for times in the range of midnight to 11:59 a.m.
• With the 24-hour format, times are displayed in the range of 0:00 to 23:59,
with 24 indicator.
Backlight Precautions
• The electro-luminescent panel that provides illumination loses power after
very long use.
• The illumination provided by the backlight may be hard to see when viewed
under direct sunlight.
• The watch will emit an audible sound whenever the display is illuminated. It
does not indicate malfunction of the watch.
• The backlight automatically turns off whenever an alarm sounds.
• The backlight remains lit for about one second from the point you press the
button, even if it is already lit when you press the button. If you keep the
button depressed for one second or more, the backlight automatically turns
off.
• Frequent use of the backlight shortens the battery life.
Auto light switch precautions
• Avoid wearing the watch on the inside of your wrist. Doing so causes the
auto light switch to operate when it is not needed, which shortens battery
life. If you want to wear the watch on the inside of your wrist, turn off the
auto light switch feature.
More than 15 degrees
too high
• Static electricity or magnetic force can interfere with proper operation of the
auto light switch. If the backlight does not light, try moving the watch back
to the starting position (parallel with the ground) and then tilt it back toward
you again. If this does not work, drop your arm all the way down so it
hangs at your side, and then bring it back up again.
• Under certain conditions, the backlight may not light until about one second
after you turn the face of the watch towards you. This does not necessarily
indicate malfunction of the backlight.
• The backlight may not light if the face of the
watch is more than 15 degrees above or
below parallel. Make sure that the back of
your hand is parallel to the ground.
• The backlight turns off in about one second,
even if you keep the watch pointed towards
your face.
Digital Compass Precautions
This watch features a built-in magnetic bearing sensor that detects terrestrial
magnetism. This means that north indicated by this watch is magnetic north,
which is somewhat different from true polar north. The magnetic north pole is
located in northern Canada, while the magnetic south pole is in southern
Australia. Note that the difference between magnetic north and true north as
measured with all magnetic compasses tends to be greater as one gets
closer to either of the magnetic poles. You should also remember that some
maps indicate true north (instead of magnetic north), and so you should make
allowances when using such maps with this watch.
Location
• Taking a direction reading when you are near a source of strong
magnetism can cause large errors in readings. Because of this, you should
avoid taking direction readings while in the vicinity of the following types of
objects: permanent magnets (magnetic necklaces, etc.), concentrations of
metal (metal doors, lockers, etc.), high tension wires, aerial wires,
household appliances (TVs, personal computers, washing machines,
freezers, etc.)
• Accurate direction readings are impossible while in a train, boat, air plane,
etc.
• Accurate readings are also impossible indoors, especially inside ferroconcrete structures. This is because the metal framework of such
structures picks up magnetism from appliances, etc.
Storage
• The precision of the bearing sensor may deteriorate if the watch becomes
magnetized. Because of this, you should be sure to store the watch away
from magnets or any other sources of strong magnetism, including:
permanent magnets (magnetic necklaces, etc.) and household appliances
(TVs, personal computers, washing machines, freezers, etc.)
• Whenever you suspect that the watch may have become magnetized,
perform one of the calibration procedures under “Calibrating the Bearing
Sensor” below.
Calibrating the Bearing Sensor
Whenever you suspect that direction readings produced by the watch are
wrong, you should calibrate it. You can use either one of two calibration
procedures:
Use bidirectional calibration when you want to take readings within an area
exposed to magnetic force. This type of calibration should be used if the
watch become magnetized for any reason.
With northerly calibration, you “teach” the watch which way is north (which
you have to determine with another compass or some other means). You
could use this calibration procedure, for example, to set the watch to indicate
true north instead of magnetic north.
Important!
• If you want to perform both bidirectional and northerly calibration, be sure
