How to Log a Ski Lap

! When the Ski Function is turned ON:

! The Watch will create a Ski Record to log the

starting time and date into the Ski Logbook.

! When a ski run is started subsequently, the

Watch will create a Ski Lap automatically or

manually to log the ski data into the Ski

Logbook.

How to Activate a Ski Lap Automatically

! When a ski run starts and a significant altitude

change is detected, the decent time timer will

start counting automatically, and a new ski lap is

created .

! When a ski run stops and the altitude change is

not significant, the decent time timer will stop

counting automatically, and the current ski lap is

recorded.

How to Activate a Ski Lap Manually

! Press the [M] button once in the Ski Mode to

select 'MANUAL' Display, then the Watch is ready

for starting/stopping a ski lap manually.

! To start a Ski Run: Press the [S/S] button once to

start counting from 0, and a new ski lap is created.

! To stop a Ski Run: Press the [S/S] button once

again when the ski run is stopped, and the decent

time timer will stop counting, and the current ski

lap is recorded.

Slope Setting

! The slope setting is the setting that needs the

user to input the slope angle of the ski field into

the Watch.

! Most of the ski fields post that figures to skiers at

the ski fields.

Sensitivity Setting

! The Watch will automatically activate the ski lap

function (start the descent timer and create a ski

lap) when a ski run starts (a significant altitude

change is detected).

! Sensitivity setting is the setting that adjusts the

accuracy for the above auto-activation.

Celsius ( C) or degree Fahrenheit ( F).

! To switch among different units, hold down the

[S/S] button to change the units following the

adjacent diagram.

° °

Absolute and Relative Altitude

! Absolute altitude is the vertical distance between

your current altitude and Sea Level (0 m).

! Relative altitude is the vertical distance between

your current altitude and the altitude of a specific

level at which you set the altimeter to zero.

! An example of using relative altitude:

! The altitude difference between the starting

point and the finishing point of a trek can be

measured by Relative Altitude.

! Set the altitude to 'Zero' at the starting point,

the Watch will show the altitude difference at the

finishing point of the trek.

How to Switch between Absolute and Relative

Altitudes

! C h e c k t h e c o m i n g c h a p t e r ' Z e r o Alt i t u d e

Adjustment' for more details on how to set the

current altitude to zero altitude.

! An 'r ' indicator will be shown along with the

altitude reading as long as the Altitude has been

adjusted by the 'Zero' adjustment.

! To switch the Watch back to absolute altitude

measurement, employ one of the following altitude

adjustments: Factory Default Adjustment, Sea

Level Pressure Adjustment and Absolute Altitude

Adjustment. Check the respective chapters for

more details on how to make the adjustment.

Why the Needs to be Adjusted

! As the absolute altitude is calculated from air

pressure, the change of air pressure would affect

the altitude reading.

! To achieve a more accurate result, the Watch

needs to be calibrated from time to time as

pressure may change gradually even within hours.

NOTE: The Watch includes an automatic Sea Level

Pressure comparison device, this smart device

allows NO fluctuation of altitude readings to be

recorded when staying at the same altitude.

Altimeter ?

Altimeter Adjustment

! There are 4 kinds of adjustment methods: Zero

Altitude, Absolute Altitude, Sea Level Pressure and

Factory Default Adjustment.

! Zero Altitude: Adjust the altitude mandatorily to

zero for relative altitude measurement. If the

altimeter is adjusted by Zero Adjustment, an " r "

indicator will appear on the display.

! Absolute Altitude: Set the altitude to a known value

and it can be recalled for a next setting.

! Sea Level Pressure: In pu t a sp ec if ic sea level

pressure which got from an official site.

! Factory Default: Restore the Watch to the default

factory setting where the Sea Level Pressure is

assumed at 1013.2 mb

NOTE: When the Ski Function is turned ON, Altimeter

Adjustment function is prohibited.

NOTE: Altitude is calibrated independently on each

mode. For example, if the absolute altitude is

selected, the effect of the previous sea level pressure

setting will be ignored.

more details.

Keep your Watch away from magnets or any

appliances w hich may contain magnetic

objects such as mobile phones, speakers,

motors and etc.

! The Watch, like most magnetic compass,

points to the magnetic north which is slightly

different from the true north.

! Perform the compass calibration from time to

time, because the calibration maintains the

precision of the compass.

! To achieve an accurate result, you should

avoid measuring direction on the following

conditions:

1) The watch is placed close to a magnetic

object

2) The watch is placed close to a metal

object

3) The watch is placed close to an electrical

appliance

4) The watch is placed inside a moving

object or a ferroconcrete building.

Compass Mode

! In the Compass Mode, the top of the display

shows the compass direction.

! The middle display shows the bearing direction.

! The bottom display shows the current time in

hour and minute.

What is Magnetic Declination

!

! The angular difference between Magnetic North Pole

and True North Pole is called magnetic declination. Its

ma gn it ud e (degrees and mi nu te s) and di re ct io n

(easterly and westerly) depend on where you are in the

world.

!

! The Watch also includes a compensation setting for

Magne tic Declinat ion. Che ck the coming se cti on

"

for more details.

Magnetic Declination Information

! Most topographic maps include a small arrow which

s how s t h e m agne t i c n ort h p o le and ma g n etic

declination information.

! For the benefit of the user, this m a nua l inc l ude s the

magnetic declinations for some major cities. Check the

coming section 'Magnetic Declination at Major Cities'

for more details.

! For those cities, their names are not included on the

list, please check the online magnetic declination

information at:

1.http://www.geolab.nrcan.gc.ca/geomag/e_cgrf.html

2.Http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/cgi-

bin/seg/gmag/fldsnth1.pl

The Magnetic North Pole is slightly different from the

True North Pole.

The WeatherMaster, like most magnetic compass,

points to the Magnetic North Pole. On the contrary,

everything measured on a map is related to the True

North Pole.

For a serious compass user who intends to perform an

accurate navigation, the compass must be adjusted for

magnetic declination.

Calibrating the compass - Magnetic Declination Mode"

Check your position by Backward Bearing Directions

! Spot two distant identifiable landmarks like mountains,

light-house, fort or building from your current position,

for example the mountains A and B.

! Check out th e ba ck ward bearing direc ti on s of

mountains A and B from your current position, for

ex ample 135 from moun tain A and 270 fr om

mountain B.

! Use a ruler to draw a line 135 from the north at the

mountain A to your current position on the map. Draw

another line 270 from the north at the mountain B to

your current position on the map.

! Your curre nt pos it io n on t he map wil l b e t he

intersection (point A) of the lines 13 5 from the

mountain A and 270

! Check the Trek Course Correctly

! During a trekking, the Watch can keep your course in

a correct way. For example, the correct trail starts

from point A and finishes at point E as drawn on the

adjacent map.

! Mark the points (identifiable landmarks) where the trail

turns its direction or the trail branches its way, such

as the points A, B, C, D and E on the adjacent map.

! Find out the bearing directions of point B from point A

(315 ), point C from point B (0 ), point D from point C

(225 ), and then point E from point D (315 ).

! During the trekking, make sure that the heading

direction is 315° from point A to point B. Performing

the similar checking in other sections of the trail

helps you keep your course correctly.

IMPORTANT: If you are in doubt of the directions and

positions of the trail, consult the park administration office

before starting the trekking.

Magnetic Declination Compensation

! To compensate for an object's bearing, either

subtract westerly (W) magnetic declination or add

eas t erl y (E ) m agn e tic d ecl i nat i on w ith t h e

magnetic bearing.

° °

! Exam pl e 1 : We st er ly ma gn et ic declin at io n

23°and the compass needle points 323°.

! TB = MB - W. When MB = 323 ; W =23

! TB = 323 - 23

! TB = 300°

! The true bearing is 300°.

! Example 2: Easterly magnetic declination 22°

and the compass needle points 278°.

! TB = MB + E. When MB = 278 ; E = 22

! TB = 278 + 22

! TB = 300°

! The true bearing is 300°.

! Th e Watch allo ws yo u to co mpensat e the

compass bearing at a place where the magnetic

declination is either Westerly declination or

Easterly declination.
