mode causes the watch to immediately return to
the normal calendar display.
7. USING THE THERMOMETER FUNCTION
The thermometer function displays the most recent
temperature as measured in all modes except the
chronograph and training timer modes. This watch
measures temperature in two ways: either by
automatically measuring temperature every hour on
the hour, or by arbitrarily measuring temperature
whenever desired by the user by operating the buttons
of the watch regardless of the time. In addition,
temperature display can be switched between
Celsius (°C) and Fahrenheit (°F).
<Automatic Temperature Measurement>
The watch measures temperature automatically
every hour on the hour. Temperature is not
measured if the watch has been switched to the
time correction mode (flashing display) at the time
temperature is measured.
<Arbitrary Temperature Measurement by button
operation>
When button
A
is pressed during the normal display
in the time mode, temperature is measured
continuously for 3 minutes at 2 second intervals.
Temperature measurement is terminated by pressing
either button
A
or button
M
during temperature
measurement.
<Temperature Measuring Range and
Measurement Accuracy>
Notes:
* The measured temperature is affected by body
temperature if temperature is measured while
wearing the watch. In order to measure temperature
accurately, remove the watch and allow it to
acclimatise to the temperature of the surrounding
environment for at least 20 to 30 minutes. The
amount of time required to eliminate the effects of
body temperature varies according to the temperature differences before and after allowing the watch
to acclimatise to the surrounding environment and
the conditions at the location where the watch is
allowed to acclimatise.
* Do not use the thermometer to measure temperature
beyond the displayed temperature range indicated.
Exposure of the watch to extremely high or low
temperatures may cause malfunction.
<Switching Between Celsius and Fahrenheit Display>
Simultaneously pressing button
A
while pressing
button
M for at least 3 seconds or more in the time
mode switches the temperature display between
Celsius (°C) and Fahrenheit (°F). (The display will
not switch if button
A is pressed first.)
8. TEMPERATURE MEMO MODE [MEMO]
When temperature is measured automatically every
hour on the hour or when temperature is measured
at an arbitrary time by operating the watch buttons,
the watch stores temperature measurement data
(consisting of temperature, time and memo number)
in the form of a temperature memo. Amaximum of
7 temperature memos can be stored in memory.
Temperature memos stored in memory can be
viewed in the temperature memo mode.
[Temperature Memo (No. 1) Display]
<Displaying Temperature
Memos>
1. Press button
M
to switch
to the memo mode.
2. Each time button
A
is
pressed, up to 7 temperature memos are displayed
in order starting with the
2. most recent memo. The memo number of the
most recent temperature data is assigned a value
of “m1”, while the oldest temperature data is
assigned a value of “m7”.
* When the number of temperature memos exceeds
7, the oldest memo is automatically deleted.
Temperature memos cannot be deleted manually.
* When there are less than 7 temperature memos
stored in memory (such as after performing the allreset procedure described later), only the number
of temperature memos stored in memory is
repeatedly displayed.
* The most recent temperature data (m1) is displayed
in the time, calendar, alarm and timer modes.
<Temperature Memo Graphic
Display>
In the temperature memo mode,
the temperatures of each stored
temperature memo (m2 through
m7) are displayed in the form of
a bar graph based on the
temperature difference with the most recent
temperature memo (m1). This graphic display provides
a rough visual representation of temperature changes
between each temperature memo.
* The temp mark flashes during display of the most
recent temperature memo (m1). The temperature
graph of the selected temperature memo (m2
through m7).
* When the temperature difference between the
selected temperature memo and the most recent
temperature memo (m1) exceeds ±5°C (4°F), the
word OVER (when the selected temperature is
higher than the most recent temperature) or UNDER
(when the selected temperature is lower) flashes.
* When the most recent temperature memo
exceeds the range of -10° to +60°C (14°F to
140°F), the word OVER (when it is above
+60°C/140°F) or UNDER (when it is below 10°C/14°F) flashes.
9. USING THE ALARM [ALM]
Once this alarm is set (switched ON), the alarm tone
sounds for 20 seconds at the same time every day.
<Alarm ON/OFF>
The alarm is switched on and off each time button
A is pressed during the normal alarm display.
When the alarm is turned on, the mark lights on
the digital display in each mode.
