The Altitude graph consists of 14 columns and 9 rows of dots with
each column of dots representing a period when the altitude
measurements were taken, with each dot representing a unit of 10
meters (30 feet).
The graph takes an altitude reading every 5 seconds for the first 3
minutes and then every 5 minutes thereafter.
Setting a Reference Altitude
The altimeter uses the built in ISA (International Standard
Atmosphere) values to convert the air pressure measured at the
current location to the equivalent altitude. But you can set a
reference altitude and the compass automatically adjusts its air
pressure to altitude conversion calculation accordingly.
To set a reference altitude, press and hold down ADJ button for
3 seconds while in the Altimeter Mode. The reading displays 'OFF'
or the current reference value (if set) will blink, which indicates the
setting screen, if setting is 'OFF' press ALTI button. Press COMP/+
button to increase the value in increments of 5 meters (10 feet) or
press BARO/- button to decrease it. When in feet, holding down COMP/+ or BARO/- shifts the
altitude by 100 ft increments. When in meters, it shifts the altitude by 10 meter increments.
Pressing ALTI button turns the value to 'OFF', repeating the procedure returns the display to the
set reference value. Setting the reference altitude to 'OFF' means that the air pressure to altitude
conversion based on factory preset data is used only. Pressing ADJ button at any time will exit the
setting mode.
Memory Function
There are 10 memories where you can store altitude, time and date
information. To store current altitude measurement, time and date,
press MODE button and hold down for 3 seconds. While in the
Altimeter Mode, a memory number is displayed with 3 'bars'
meaning it is empty or the last viewed memory is shown. Press
COMP/+ button until an empty memory is located. If the memory
is full, 'FULL' is displayed (then nothing can be stored until
memory is made available). Press and hold down COMP/+ button
for 3 and the displayed values are stored into the memory (the date
12
is also stored), and the display is returned to Altimeter Mode. If you
decide you do not want to store anything when you have entered the
memories, you will have to press MODE button or ADJ button
which will return you to the Altimeter Mode.
'Full' is displayed when all 10 memories are used up. The memory
will need to be reset before you can store new entries.
Reading Stored Memories
To read stored memories press and hold down MODE button for 3 seconds once while in the
Altimeter Mode, a memory number is displayed with 3 'bars' meaning it is empty, or the last
viewed memory is shown. If memory is full, 'FULL' is displayed. Press COMP/+ button and the
last viewed memory is displayed. To view other stored memories press COMP/+ button again to
scroll through all stored memories.
Clearing Memory
To clear a memory press and hold down MODE button for
3 seconds while in the Altimeter Mode. The last viewed memory is
displayed, or if memories is full 'FULL' is displayed. Press COMP/+
button until the memory you want to clear is displayed, then press
BARO/- button, a blinking 'CLR' is displayed, press BARO/-
button again to confirm. To exit press MODE or ADJ button.
To clear all memory press and hold down MODE button for
3 seconds while in the Altimeter Mode, the last viewed memory is
displayed, or if memories are full 'FULL' is displayed. Press
COMP/+ button to view memories. Then press BARO/- button
and hold down until 'CLR ALL' is displayed. Press BARO/- button
again to confirm or press MODE button or ADJ button to exit, or
press COMP/+ button to continue viewing the memory.

NSTALLING A BATTERY
To open the battery compartment cover, insert a coin in the coin slot
and rotate cover in a clockwise direction until it lifts open. Insert the
lithium cell (battery type: CR2430) into the compartment, making sure that the negative polarity
faces downwards. Close battery compartment cover until it clicks shut.
