COMPASS
The Summit/Altitech are equipped with a highly accurate digital magnetic compass with a resolution of
one degree. The compass can be adjusted to compensate for the magnetic declination corresponding to
the area where the compass is being used.
COMPASS SCREEN
There is only one screen display available in the COMPASS mode.
The display shows the CURRENTHEADINGINDEGREES in the
center line and the bearing in half cardinal points in the top line.
Opposite to one another on the display you will see a single segment
and three segments activated. The single segment indicates NORTH
and the center of the three segments indicates SOUTH.
CALIBRATING THE COMPASS
The compass of the Summit/Altitech must be calibrated on a regular
basis. The compass should be calibrated any time it does not seem to be
working properly. We recommend calibrating the compass prior to any
activity where optimal accuracy is desired, such as a long back country
trip. The watch must also be calibrated to your local altitude prior to your
initial use.
english
1. Start in COMPASS mode.
2. PRESS & HOLD the S4 key to enter the calibration sequence.
3. CAL will appear in the center line of the display.
4. Rotate the unit clockwise for two complete rotations of
approximately 15-seconds per rotation.
5. To exit the calibration sequence at this point using the S1 key. Or
advance to setting the magnetic declination using the S4 key.
17
NOTE: For the optimum accuracy, the compass must be held
completely level during the calibration process. We recommend
placing the unit on top of a drinking glass while performing the
calibration as this will make it easier to keep the compass
level.
CALIBRATING THE COMPASS (continued)
6. If the calibration is successful the display will show CAL in the
center line and END in the upper line and automatically advance
to the compass display.
7. If the calibration was unsuccessful an ERR message will appear
in the upper line of the display and you will need to repeat the
calibration sequence.
8. If you have chosen to set a magnetic declination, adjust the
degrees and direction using the S1 and S2 keys. Set and advance
from variable to variable using a the S3 key.
9. If you do not know the magnetic declination for your area, leave
this setting at ZERO.
10. When you have completely entered the magnetic declination you
desire, exit the calibration sequence using the S4 key.
MAGNETIC DECLINATION
A magnetic compass points to the earth’s magnetic north pole. Depending on your location, this may be
different from True North. Adjusting the magnetic declination allows you to compensate for this
variation. Magnetic declination for an area can be found on topographical maps. Declination can change
over time and distance. Make sure the source for your declination settings is up to date. The following
websites are good sources for finding local magnetic declination.
To save power, the compass feature of the Summit/Altitech only remains active for a period of
30-seconds. To reactivate the compass display, QUICKPRESS the S1 key.

ALTIMETER
Because the ALTIMETER system in the Summit/Altitech 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. If you are using the unit during times of changeable weather, the
unit may need to be calibrated more often. Generally, the small pressure changes experienced during a
day of use will have only a minor effect on the accuracy of the unit, however, the arrival or departure of
a weather front can change the current weather display by several hundred feet or more.
The ALTIMETER has one display screen. When you enter the altimeter the TOPLINE will scroll,
showing you your MAXIMUMANDACCUMULATED altitude since the last time they were reset.
After the scroll has completed, the TOPLINE shows you a graphic indication of altitude changes over
time. The CENTERLINE of the display shows your current elevation and the BOTTOMLINE shows
the TIMEOFDAY .

TROUBLE SHOOTING
The Summit/Altitech is a very sensitive and sophisticated instrument. If properly cared for it should last
and remain accurate for many years. However, from time to time problems may happen. It has been
your experience that the majority of the problems seen by consumers with products such as these are
related to dead or dying batteries.
While the estimated life of a fresh battery in the unit is approximately one year, this can be shortened
considerably if the compass, altimeter or EL systems of the unit are used extensively. Whenever you are
experiencing issues related to the function of the unit it is recommended that you install a fresh battery
as a first course of action, especially if it has been more than a half a year since the last time the
battery was replaced.
BE AWARE – Lithium batteries of the type used in this instrument are very susceptible to improper
storage. Many times, batteries purchased as new are dead or weak before they are purchased. Do not
assume that batteries in stores are good. If you try a new battery and problems persist, please try a
second battery from another source, just to be certain. If the battery of the Summit/Altitech is failing it
may show itself in several ways.
Indications of a weak battery are:
1. A fading or blank display.
2. If the display goes blank when the EL system is operated and then comes back on when the EL
system turns off.

3. Inaccurate readings from the Altimeter or Compass systems.
Because the compass is magnetic it may be affected by local sources of electromagnetic radiation
(EMI). Avoid using the compass near appliances, in cars, near home security systems and other sources
of EMI.
The Summit/Altitech is equipped with a display which allows it to be used in a wide variety of
environments. However, if the unit is used in extreme cold (<32 F or 1c) the function of the display may
be slower than normal. If exposed to extreme heat or cold, the display may also darken. The display
should return to normal once the temperature returns to normal operating levels.
