Digital Compass

The integrated digital compass provides directional readings.

3. The display will show the cardinal direction (N, S, E, W) and potentially a degree reading.
4. Calibration: If readings appear inaccurate, the compass may need calibration. Refer to the watch's on-screen prompts or a more detailed manual if available for specific calibration steps. Typically, this involves rotating the watch in a figure-eight pattern.

Thermometer

The watch can display the ambient temperature.

1. Enter Thermometer mode using the MODE button.
2. For accurate readings, remove the watch from your wrist for at least 20-30 minutes to allow it to acclimate to the ambient air temperature, as body heat can affect the sensor.
3. The temperature will be displayed in Celsius or Fahrenheit, depending on the unit setting (which can usually be changed in the general settings mode).

Backlight

Press the LIGHT/SET button briefly to activate the backlight for improved visibility in low-light conditions.

Maintenance

Cleaning Your Watch

To maintain the appearance and functionality of your watch, regularly wipe the case and band with a soft, damp cloth. For the polyurethane band, mild soap and water can be used. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

Battery Replacement

The watch requires 1 product-specific battery. When the display becomes dim or functions become erratic, it is likely time to replace the battery. Battery replacement should ideally be performed by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and maintain water resistance. Attempting to replace the battery yourself may void the warranty or compromise the watch's water resistance.

Water Resistance

The Columbia CT010-330 is water-resistant up to 300 feet (91 meters). This means it is suitable for swimming, snorkeling, and recreational diving. Do not operate the buttons while the watch is submerged, as this can compromise the water seal. Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperature changes, which can affect the seals.

Troubleshooting

• Display is blank or dim: The battery may be low or depleted. Replace the battery as described in the Maintenance section.
• Incorrect time/date: Re-set the time and date following the instructions in the Setup section. Ensure the 12/24-hour format is correctly selected.
• Buttons are unresponsive: Ensure the watch is not in a locked mode (if applicable, though not specified for this model). If submerged, buttons should not be pressed. If the issue persists, a battery replacement or professional inspection may be required.
• Compass readings are inaccurate: Calibrate the digital compass. Ensure you are away from strong magnetic fields.
• Temperature readings are inconsistent: Remove the watch from your wrist for 20-30 minutes to allow it to acclimate to ambient temperature.
