INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL INFORMATION WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS
Congratulations on your purchase of a SUMMIT/ALTITECH OUTDOOR INSTRUMENT. These
products represent the state-of-the-art in recreational sensor instruments. We use only the finest
Swiss sensors to create the most accurate and dependable products possible. The Summit/Altitech
features an altimeter/barometer/weather station along with a full selection of advanced watch and
chronograph functions. Please keep in mind, the Summit/Altitech is a sensitive technical instrument.
With proper care and maintenance, it will last for many years of use. However improper care and
handling can cause the various sensors to be damaged and to stop functioning. Please read all
sections of this manual carefully and become fully familiar with the operation of the unit before using
it in the field.
WARNING: Before starting any exercise program or performing any vigorous physical activity, we
strongly suggest you visit your doctor for a complete physical and to discuss your plans.
CAUTION: Your instrument is designed to be water resistant to a static pressure of 3 ATM and can be
worn while showering and light swimming. We recommend that extensive use of the unit in the water
be avoided whenever possible as water could enter the unit through the altimeter sensor port and
damage the unit. The unit should not be worn while snorkeling or scuba diving as these activities will
damage the altimeter sensor.
CAUTION: Care should be taken not to press any keys while the unit is wet or submerged as this can
force moisture past the key seals and damage the unit.
CAUTION: Exposure to strong magnetic fields will cause the compass unit to malfunction and may
even permanently damage the compass sensor. Keep the unit away from magnetic sources.
WARNING: This product is NOT designed to be used as a PRIMARY altitude instrument for flying,
skydiving, hang gliding or other sports where sudden major changes in altitude may occur or when there
is a need for industrial precision.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Your SUMMIT/ALTITECH OUTDOOR INSTRUMENT should be protected from shocks, extreme heat
and extended exposure to direct sunlight. You should only perform service procedures related to the
changing of the battery as shown in this manual. NEVER attempt to disassemble or otherwise service
your instrument. Store the unit in a clean, dry area at room temperature.
Clean your instrument using a moist cloth. Care should be taken when cleaning the lens not to rub dirt
into the surface as it can become scratched and hard to read.
CHANGING WATCH BATTERY
The Summit/Altitech uses a common CR2032 3V Lithium battery.
Normal battery life is approximately 1yr.
NOTE: Heavy use of the Altimeter, Compass or Backlight system may significantly reduce
battery life.
NOTE: A blank display or inaccurate altimeter or compass readings are indications that the
battery is getting weak and should be replaced.
REPLACING THE INSTRUMENT BATTERY
1. Remove battery door using a coin.
2. Carefully remove the old battery. Do not damage the O-ring seal.
3. Place a fresh battery in the battery compartment with the positive (+) side facing up.
4. Replace battery door using a coin.
5. If the O-ring has been damaged, replace it before reinstalling the battery door. Most jewelers and
watch shops should have replacement O-ring seals.

NOTE: Extreme care should be taken when replacing the battery to ensure the unit remains
fully water resistant. Failure to properly replace the battery and correctly seal the unit may
cause the unit to become damaged and may void the warranty.

KEY ACTIONS – QUICK PRESS VS. PRESS AND HOLD
There are two key actions used to program the watch:
QUICK PRESS
The key is pressed quickly and immediately released. This is the most common key action and is
used for most aspects of the watches operation.
PRESS & HOLD
The key is pressed and held for 2-3 seconds. This key action is generally used to initiate a
programming sequence or to change an on screen variable.
NOTE: Generally, when a PRESS & HOLD action is required, the word HOLD will appear on
the center line of the display.
NOTE: In this manual we will indicate when a PRESS & HOLD is required. In most other
instances, if not specifically stated, a QUICK PRESS should be assumed.
PROGRAMMING THE WATCH – COMMON KEY ACTIONS
The following are key presses required to perform the most common operations.
ENTER A PROGRAMMING SEQUENCE
PRESS & HOLD the S2 key.
The words ADJUST – HOLD will appear in the top and center lines of the display. Continue to hold
the key until the display automatically advances to the first variable in the programming sequence.
ADJUST VARIABLE IN A PROGRAMMING SEQUENCE
QUICK PRESS the S1 & S2 keys.
Variables in a programming sequence are adjusted up using QUICK PRESSES of the S1 key and
down using QUICK PRESSES of the S2 key.
In most programming options, a PRESS & HOLD of either the S1 or S2 key will cause the variable
to fast advance, allowing you to quickly advance to a different number.
