MULTISPORTS ALTIMETER

MODEL AT-110

Instruction Manual

INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing CATEYE Model AT-110.
This altimeter is designed to help quantify altitude
data for vertical sports such as, skiing, hiking, climbing, mountaineering, hang-gliding,
parasailing, ballooning, sail-planing and sky-surfing, etc. The patented temperature
compensated pressure captures atmospheric pressure and gives accurate altitude read­ing in 1 meter or 5 foot resolution. Three types of measuring mode (Hike, Ski and Fly)
allow for meaningful data collection for each sport. The screen has an EL (electro­luminescent) backlight for night viewing.

Features:

•Displays altitude with 1 meter or 5 feet resolution up to 6000m or +20,000ft.

•Temperature compensated atmospheric pressure sensor.

•Measures atmospheric temperature.

•Audible and visible alarm in the Fly Mode to easily note any ascent or decent.

•Three types of measuring modes designed for the characteristics of different activi­ties; (Hike, Ski and Fly).

•Shows current altitude in the large display with clock time, temperature, stopwatch,
speed of ascend/descend, altitude gain and loss, on the small display.

•Displays LOG-Book data of highest trip altitude, lowest trip altitude, sum of ascends,
sum of descends.

•Preserves LOG-Book data in memory even after replacing battery.

•Displays in feet or meters, fahrenheit or celsius.

•EL (electro-luminescent) back-lit screen for viewing data at night.

•Audible beep with each button operation.

Before operating, thoroughly familiarize yourself with this manual so that you under­stand the functions completely. Please keep this manual, along with the warranty card,
for future reference.

FOR SAFE OPERATIONS (IMPORTANT)

For safe and appropriate use, always observe the following.

Caution:

• This altimeter is not intended to be a definitive measuring device.

• Give due consideration to your surroundings. Don’t pay too much atten­tion to the data on the screen when using.

• Safely dispose of old batteries. Don’t place within reach of children. If swal­lowed, consult a physician immediately.

Note:

• Please note that atmospheric pressure is effected by the weather. The AT-110 cal­culates altitude from the changes in atmospheric pressure. Even during stable weather
condition, the altitude reading may change as much as 40m or 130ft, over the course
of the day.

• Select the best-suited mode for your activity.

• Never disassemble the main unit. It can not be re-assembled.

• The main unit is loaded with highly sensitive components. A strong impact may result
in malfunctions.

• Never intentionally submerge the main unit under water. Although the main unit is
water-resistant to normal weather conditions it is not designed to be used underwater.

• Don’t leave the main unit exposed to direct sunlight for extended periods of time.

• If the main unit is heated by strong direct sunlight, the temperature sensor inside of
the main unit may give incorrect temperature readings.

• The atmospheric pressure is continually changing. Thus, the data of the current alti­tude of one location might fluctuate from day to day depending on the weather.

• The Current altitude should be calibrated (corrected) before each use.

• Sudden temperature change such as moving from inside a heated building to a cold
outside can cause temporary incorrect altitude data.

• Static electricity might cause incorrect data.

• In pressurized aircraft the unit will not give a correct altitude.

• If the sensor cover is clogged with mud or sand, it will not measure accurately. Clean
according to “Daily Care” instructions.

• If the main unit or accessories/attachments become dirty with mud etc., gently wash
with mild soap and wipe dry with a soft cloth. Never apply paint thinner, benzine or
alcohol; damage will result.

PREPARATIONS

1. Battery Installation

1. Remove the battery cover on the back, with a coin.

2. Insert a new lithium battery (CR2032) with the (+) pole outward,
as illustrated. Close the cover securely.

3. Press the

Note: If the display disappears while press of the

or often shows irregular altitude, replace the battery.
Caution: Dispose of old batteries properly. Keep batteries out of
reach of children. If swallowed, consult a physician immediately.

2. Data Scale Set Up

First, press the AC (All Clear) button; the entire display will illumi­nate and then “m” and “°C” symbols appear. Press the S/S button
to chose between “°C” (celsius) and “°F” (fahrenheit). Press the

Mode button to chose between “m (meter)” and “ft (feet)”. Select

the desired scale and press the Set button to fix the scale.

Note: If “°C” (celsius) scale is selected a 24-hour clock is dis­played. If “°F” (fahrenheit) is selected a 12-hour clock is displayed.

3. Time Set Up

After the data scale is set, the display displays clock set up mode.
With each press of the S/S button, the digits for hours increase by
one. (To increase rapidly, hold down the button.) Press the
button to select the minute digits. Adjust the minutes by pressing the

S/S button. Press the Set button to set the time. After the clock

time is set, the AT-110 defaults to Hike mode.

4. Attaching Wrist Band

Press the main unit onto the ring of the wrist band. It can be mounted
perpendicularly or parallel to the belt. To remove the unit, twist it to
the left or the right.

5. Attaching to Your Body

By using a longer mounting belt (option), the unit can also be at­tached on your leg, not only on your arm.

1. Adjust the belt length tentatively, according to the part to put the
unit on. (Make it a bit longer than it looks necessary.)

2. Roll the belt around the part to wear the unit, and hook the buckle
on the ring with the buckle lever lifted.

3. Pull the belt end to tighten, and lay down the buckle lever.

4. Pass the belt end through the belt loop.

5. To remove the unit, lift the buckle lever and detach the buckle
from the ring.
Note: Lift the buckle lever, when the buckle is attached to/de­tached from the ring.

HOW TO USE AS AN ALTIMETER

1. Functions and Button Operations

Before Operation:

The initial value of the Current altitude shown on the display may
not indicate the correct altitude of your location. First read through
this section, and then correct the altitude according to the instruc­tions on page12.

Modes

This unit has three modes; Hike, Ski and Fly. Each mode has its own
characteristics. Select the best-suited mode for your purpose. You
can change the mode during use.
Hike Mode: Suitable for hiking, mountaineering, or other general

activities with gradual changes in altitude.

Ski Mode: Suitable for skiing, snow-boarding, mountain biking, or

other activities where you want to record numbers of
runs.

Fly Mode: Suitable for hang-gliding, paragliding, parajumping,

skysurfing, ballooning, sail-planing or other sky-sports
where there are sudden and significant changes in alti­tude.

ⓦ How to Shift From One Mode to Another

Hold down the Set button and the mode shifts from Hike to Ski to
Fly.

Functions

Each of the three modes has a Main Screen, Sub Functions and LOG­Book Functions.

ⓦ Main Screen:

The Main Screen gives the basic data of current altitude and time of
day. It is necessary to be in this Main Screen in order to shift between
Sub Functions and LOG-Book Functions.

ⓦ Sub Function:

This function shows current data and conditions, such as tempera­ture, stopwatch, etc. The data appears on the lower display. This
data is accessed by pressing the
data it is being displayed. On the large display, current altitude is
always viewed. To return to the Main Screen, press the
ton in any Sub Function.
