Operating Modes

The North Edge Apache watch features multiple modes accessible via the mode button (usually labeled 'MODE' or similar). Pressing this button cycles through the different functions.

1. Altimeter Mode

This mode displays your current altitude and temperature. It also tracks altitude trends. For accurate readings, it is recommended to calibrate the altimeter before use, especially when starting an activity at a known altitude.

• Calibration: In Altimeter mode, press and hold the 'ADJUST' button to enter calibration. Set a known reference altitude if available.
• Altitude Range: -698m to +9164m (-2246ft to +30067ft).

2. Barometer Mode

Image: The watch face showing barometric pressure (1008.2 hPa) and current time in Barometer mode. This function helps in predicting weather changes.

The barometer measures atmospheric pressure and displays a trend chart, which can be used to forecast weather changes. A falling pressure often indicates worsening weather, while rising pressure suggests improving conditions.

• Pressure Range: 300hPa to 1100hPa (8.859inHg to 32.484inHg).
• Weather Forecast: The watch provides a basic weather forecast based on pressure trends.

3. Compass Mode

The digital compass provides directional bearings. For accurate readings, ensure the watch is held horizontally and away from strong magnetic fields. Calibration is recommended periodically or when moving to a new geographical area.

• Calibration: In Compass mode, follow on-screen prompts or manual instructions to perform a figure-eight calibration.

4. Thermometer Mode

Displays the ambient temperature. For accurate temperature readings, remove the watch from your wrist for at least 15-20 minutes to allow it to equalize with the surrounding air temperature, as body heat can affect the sensor.

• Temperature Range: -10°C to +60°C (14°F to 140°F).

5. Pedometer Mode

The pedometer tracks your steps, calculates distance, and estimates calories burned. Ensure your personal stride length and weight are set correctly in the watch settings for optimal accuracy.

• Pacer Function: Helps maintain a consistent pace during activities.

6. Stopwatch Mode

Use the stopwatch to measure elapsed time. It typically includes start, stop, and reset functions, and may offer lap time recording.

• Maximum Time: 99 hours, 59 minutes, 59.99 seconds.

7. Countdown Timer Mode

Set a specific time for the watch to count down from. An alarm will sound when the countdown reaches zero.

• Maximum Time: 99 hours, 59 minutes, 59 seconds.

8. Alarm Clock Mode

The watch includes two independent alarm settings. Set the desired time for each alarm. Alarms can be set for daily repetition.

9. World Time Mode

View the current time in various major cities around the world. This mode often includes automatic daylight saving time adjustments.

10. EL Backlight

Press the backlight button (refer to watch diagram) to illuminate the display for easy reading in dark conditions. The backlight duration may be adjustable in settings.

Maintenance

Battery Replacement

The watch uses a CR2032 battery. When the low battery indicator appears, it is recommended to replace the battery promptly. Battery replacement should ideally be performed by a qualified technician to ensure water resistance is maintained.

• Battery Type: CR2032 (1 included).

Water Resistance

The watch is water-resistant up to 5 ATM (50 meters), suitable for swimming and showering. However, it is important to avoid pressing buttons underwater and exposing the watch to hot water or steam, as this can compromise the seals.

Cleaning

Clean the watch case and strap with a soft, damp cloth. For the nylon strap, mild soap and water can be used, ensuring it is thoroughly rinsed and air-dried. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
