INSTRUCTION MANUAL for MOMENTUM® VS-1 CHRONOGRAPH (4-Button) English

Congratulations on your purchase of this MOMENTUM® VS-1 CHRONOGRAPH. This watch represents the state-of-the-art in recreational sensor watches. We use the finest Swiss sensors to create the most accurate and dependable products possible. The VS-1 unit features an altimeter/barometer/weather station along with a full selection of advanced watch and chronograph functions. The VS-1also features a highly accurate digital compass.

Please keep in mind, your watch is a sensitive technical instrument. With proper care and maintenance, it will last for many years. 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 watch before using it in the field.

NOTE

: Before starting any exercise program or performing any vigorous physical activity, we strongly recommend you visit your doctor for a

complete physical and to discuss your plans.

CAUTION: Your watch is designed to be water resistant to a static pressure of 5 ATM and can be worn while showering and light swimming.

However, 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 can damage the altimeter sensor.

CAUTION: Care should be taken not to press any pushbuttons while the unit is wet or submerged as this can force moisture past the pushbutton-

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 (TV, large metal objects, etc.).

WARNING: This product is NOT designed to be used as a PRIMARY altitude instrument for flying, skydiving, hang gliding or other sports where

significant changes in altitude may occur suddenly, or when there is a need for industrial precision. Your VS-1 CHRONOGRAPH should be protected from shocks, extreme heat and extended exposure to direct sunlight. Servicing procedures

should only be carried out by an authorized Service Center. NEVER attempt to disassemble or otherwise service your watch, as this may void your warranty. Store your watch in a clean, dry area at room temperature.

Normal battery life is approximately 12-18 months. NOTE: Heavy usage of the Altimeter, Compass or Backlight system may 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.

BASIC OPERATION OF BUTTONS

USING THE PUSHBUTTONS – QUICK PRESS vs. PRESS AND HOLD

There are two actions used to program the watch:

QUICK PRESS: Button is pressed quickly and immediately released. This is the most common action and is used for most operations. PRESS & HOLD: Button is pressed and held for 2-3 seconds. This action is generally used to initiate a programming sequence, or to change

an on-screen variable.

NOTE 1:

Generally, when a PRESS & HOLD action is required, the word HOLD will appear on the center line of the display.

NOTE 2:

In this manual we will indicate when a PRESS & HOLD is required. Otherwise, a QUICK PRESS should be assumed.

PROGRAMMING THE WATCH – COMMON PUSHBUTTON ACTIONS

ENTER A PROGRAMMING SEQUENCE PRESS & HOLD D.

The words HOLD – ADJUST will appear in the center and bottom lines of the display. Continue

to hold the pushbutton until the display automatically advances to the first variable in the programming sequence.

ADJUST VARIABLE IN A PROGRAMMING SEQUENCE QUICK PRESS A or B.

Variables in a programming sequence are adjusted up using a QUICK PRESS of the A key and down using a QUICK PRESS of the B key. * In many programming modes, a PRESS & HOLD of either A or B will cause the variable to fast advance, allowing quicker setting.
