Operating instructions for electronics

Initial startup (m, °C, 24h)

The functions of the Traveller can be
checked when the battery is inserted:

1. Segment check Do all segments
light up?

2. Beep tone Did you hear a
beep?

3. Background Is the light switched
lighting on briefly?

After this automatic function test, the present
altitude is first displayed briefly after which
the display changes over to the time mode.
The European system of units (height = m,
temperature = °C, time mode = 24h) is stand­ard.

Initial startup (ft, °F, 12h)

To set the American system of units (height =
ft, temperature = °F, time mode = 12h). Insert
new battery, press the Victorinox emblem
while closing the battery compartment. The
function test then takes place as described
above.

C = continuous pressure

Menu choice

Press the Victorinox emblem briefly to select
the desired menu.

If the button is not pressed for more than 30
min in the "Altimeter", "Alarm" and "Tempera­ture" menus, the display automatically reverts
to the time mode.

Background lighting

Press the Victorinox emblem for 1.5 seconds
to switch the background lighting on. The
light goes out again 3 seconds after the last
actuation. The background lighting is auto­matically switched off on changeover to the
setting mode (except in the alarm function).

Setting the watch

Press the Victorinox emblem for 4 seconds
until the display flashes. Now release the Vic­torinox emblem again. You have changed to
the time setting mode.

The arrow shows the current setting direc­tion. The change takes place automatically.

If the Victorinox emblem is pressed for longer
than this (min. 6 seconds), the adjusting
speed is increased (20 digits/s).

C = continuous pressure min. 6 sec

Brief pressure on the Victorinox emblem al­ters the display by one digit in the arrowed di­rection.

If the button is not pressed within 10 sec­onds, the setting mode is quit automatically
and the new display accepted.

Setting the time format

Press the Victorinox emblem for 8 seconds
until the display changes to the "24h/12h"
submenu. Release the Victorinox emblem
again.

Press the Victorinox emblem briefly while the
display is flashing to change the time format.
In the 12h mode, the time is indicated with
the added letters "pm" in the afternoon (0.00

- 12.00).

If the button is not pressed within 4 seconds,
the setting mode is quit automatically and the
new display accepted.

Setting the altimeter

Press the Victorinox emblem for 4 seconds
until the display flashes. Now release the Vic­torinox emblem again. You have changed
over to the altimeter setting mode.

The arrow shows the present adjustment di­rection. The changeover is automatic.

If the Victorinox emblem is pressed for a
longer period (at least 6 seconds), the adjust­ing speed is increased (20 digits/s).

Brief pressure on the Victorinox emblem
changes the display by 1 digit (meter). To in­crease the value which is shown, press the
Victorinox emblem repeatedly while the arrow
points upwards. When the correct altitude is
shown on the display, wait for 10 seconds un­til the system has accepted the entry made
by you.

The display then changes over to the
"Weather correction mode". When the Victori­nox emblem is pressed briefly, the correction
setting can be altered in the sequence
"Stnd", "Cold", "Hot".

Stnd standard temperature for a particular
altitude (tolerance ±5°C)

Cold colder than standard

(difference greater than 5°C)

Hot warmer than standard

(difference greater than 5°C)

(Standard values see table on page 4)

If the button is not pressed within 4 seconds,
the "Weather correction mode" is quit auto­matically and the new setting accepted.

Warning!!!

To extend the battery life many times over,
the altitude display has a built-in delay, there­fore, the altimeter must not be used during
sky diving or other similar sports.

Altitude error / Impact of atmospheric
pressure fluctuations

A change in the weather causes the baromet­ric pressure to alter; this in turn means that
the displayed altitude differs from the effec­tive altitude. The error can be eliminated by
adjusting the altitude. Even on a stable day,
temperature-related air pressure fluctuations
of ±1 mbar may occur; this is equivalent to an
altitude error of ±8 meters.
