Quick Tips:
1. While in any mode, press and hold set/light button until display starts flashing in order to change data.
2. Thermometer tends to read 10 to 15 degrees higher when worn due to body heat.
3. After several seconds of a compass reading there will be four dashes in the display. This signifies the compass is in sleep mode to
conserve the battery life.
4. To accurately take a compass reading, avoid performing a reading near any source of magnetism. Try avoiding metal objects,
electrical devices such as: computers and speakers also avoid electric engines, power lines, other compasses and large buildings.
5. Compass readings should be taken in open air, not indoors (including tents, caves, or where any environment would interfere with a
reading).
Question and Answer:
Why does my altitude change even though I have not changed elevation?
When barometric pressure fluctuates, the altitude interprets this information as vertical movement and can cause variance.
How often should I set my altimeter?
Calibrate the altitude daily for the most accurate reading.
Why does my Axis/Summit consistently read a higher temperature while on my wrist?
Body heat will affect the temperature reading when the Axis/Summit is worn on the wrist. The watch should be removed from the wrist and
the user should allow up to 15 minutes for the watch to adjust before reading the temperature for an accurate reading.
What is the deference between Sea Level barometric pressure and Absolute barometric pressure?
Absolute barometric pressure is the true pressure at any known location at any time. Sea Level barometric pressure is its equivalent pressure
corresponded to sea level. HighGear altimeters use the Sea Level barometric pressure to interpret elevation; we use this reading because it is
more constant.
How often should I calibrate my compass?
The compass should be calibrated prior to first time use, and before each hike or daily if when the compass is used on a frequent basis.
What is
It is the angular difference between Map North and Magnetic North.
What do the four lines that appear in the compass mode indicate?
After ten seconds of a compass reading four dashes in the display screen will appear, this signifies the compass is in sleep mode to conserve
battery life.
▪
How long will my battery last?
Battery will last about 12- 18 months, depending on the frequency of compass and backlight use.
