Setup

1. Initial Power-Up and Time Setting

Your watch comes with a battery installed. To activate, remove any plastic battery tab if present. Set the current time by pulling out the crown and rotating it. Push the crown back in to start the watch.

2. Date Setting

The date display is located at the 3 o'clock position. Refer to the full instruction manual for specific crown positions and rotations to adjust the date without affecting the time.

3. Altimeter Calibration

For accurate altitude readings, the altimeter must be calibrated to a known elevation. This should be done regularly, especially when significant weather changes occur or when moving to a new location with a known altitude reference point. Consult the detailed manual for precise calibration steps using the watch's controls.

Operating Instructions

1. Indiglo Night-Light

Press the crown to activate the Indiglo night-light, illuminating the dial for visibility in low-light conditions.

2. Altimeter Functionality

• Altimeter Range: The digital altimeter sensor operates within a range of -400 feet to 25,000 feet (-120 meters to 7,600 meters).
• Min/Max Altitude Recall: The watch can recall the minimum and maximum altitudes recorded during a session. Refer to the full manual for instructions on accessing and resetting this feature.
• Feet/Meter Conversion: The watch supports conversion between feet and meters for altitude readings. Use the designated controls to switch between units as needed.
• Accuracy: Altimeter readings are based on atmospheric pressure. Changes in weather patterns (e.g., approaching low-pressure systems) can affect readings. Regular calibration to a known elevation is crucial for maintaining accuracy.

3. Water Resistance

This watch is water resistant to 100 meters (330 feet). It is suitable for snorkeling and swimming. It is not suitable for diving. Avoid operating the crown or pushers while the watch is wet or submerged to prevent water ingress.

Maintenance

1. Cleaning

Clean your watch regularly with a soft, damp cloth. For the silicone strap, mild soap and water can be used. Ensure the watch is completely dry before storage.

2. Battery Replacement

The watch requires 1 'A' type battery (included). When the battery needs replacement, it is recommended to have it done by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and maintain water resistance.

3. Storage

Store your watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Avoid exposing the watch to strong magnetic fields.

Troubleshooting

• Inaccurate Altimeter Readings: The altimeter relies on atmospheric pressure. If readings are inconsistent, recalibrate the altimeter to a known elevation. Significant weather changes can cause fluctuations.
• Watch Not Keeping Time: Check if the crown is fully pushed in. If the watch stops or runs intermittently, the battery may need replacement.
• Indiglo Not Working: Ensure the battery has sufficient power. If the battery is low, the Indiglo feature may be affected before the timekeeping stops.
• Water Inside Watch: If moisture appears inside the watch, immediately take it to a qualified service center. Do not attempt to open the watch yourself.
