The Ambient alpine watch is a high-sensitivity multi-function
thermal gauge.
With N.C.A.S.E. (Nike Cartridge Attachment System) engineering, we
have removed the watch pins for improved durability and versatility.
The Ambient watch was designed to work just the way you think it
should. This manual combines step by step operational instructions
to help identify the features and functions of each mode.

Program Offset
An offset is used to compensate for factors which affect
the watch’s ability to accurately determine the temperature.
Examples of these factors are body temperature, wind-chill, etc.
By calibrating your watch’s temperature sensor you can tune it
to your environment. For example, if your watch displays a
temperature of 23Cº, but another thermometer
reads 21Cº, you can set your watch to match the
other thermometer.
Warning: Use this feature only when necessary. In order to erase
a temperature offset so the watch shows the temperature as
calibrated by the manufacturer, you must reset the entire
watch. All time, date, alarm and timer settings will be erased.
1 Determine the actual temperature.

for 5 seconds.
After 2 seconds there is a tone related to changing the display

Note that the adjustable element is always blinking.
To quickly exit ADJUST mode, press BUTTON A repeatedly
to cycle through all adjustable elements; the display will
then stop blinking.

In TEMPERATURE mode you can read the current
temperature and program a compensating
temperature offset.

TEMPERATURE ACCURACY
Accuracy is ±1C° (1.8F°) between –5C° (23F°) and +25C° (77F°), ±2 C° (3.6F°) outside this range.
Remember that temperature is affected by body heat. To minimize this effect, wear the watch on
the outside of clothing or away from the body. Direct sunlight will also affect temperature display.
TEMPERATURE SAMPLING RATES
TEMP mode
Sampling occurs every 5 seconds during the 1st minute, then every 2 minutes for 1 hour.
Then every 5 minutes for 3 hours. After approximately 4 hours the watch will enter TIME
mode to conserve battery power.
All other modes - When TEMPERATURE ALARM is activated sampling interval is 10 minutes.
When TEMPERATURE ALARM is not activated, sampling interval is 1 hour.
