DIGITAL COMPASS FUNCTIONS

This watch features a built-in bearing sensor that indicates any one of 16

directions. Up to five sets of direction readings can be stored into memory.

Each set of data includes the direction, along with the date and time of the

measurement. Direction readings can be performed in the Digital Compass

Mode.

To enter and exit the Digital Compass Mode

1. While in the Timekeeping or Altimeter Mode, press B to enter the

Digital Compass Mode.

• At this time, the watch immediately starts a Digital Compass operation.

After about one second, the direction that the 12 o’clock position of the

watch is pointing appears on the display.

• If you do not perform any button operation for a few minutes, the watch

automatically returns to the mode you were in before entering the Digital

Compass Mode.

2. Press C to return to the mode you were in before entering the Digital

Compass Mode.

• Note that when you enter the Digital Compass Mode from the Altimeter

Mode, the Altimeter Mode measurement (see “About altitude

measurements”) continues to be performed internally.

To take a direction reading without storing data into

memory

1. Place the watch on a flat surface or (if

you are wearing the watch), make sure

that your wrist is horizontal (in relation to

the horizon).

• Note that taking a measurement while the

watch is not horizontal (in relation to the

horizon) can result in large measurement

error.

2. Point the 12 o’clock position of the watch

in the direction you want to measure.

3. Press B to enter the Digital Compass

Mode and to start a Digital Compass

measurement operation.

• After about one second, the direction that

the 12 o’clock position of the watch is

pointing appears on the display.

• Also, four indicators appear to indicate magnetic north, south, east, and

west.

• The direction value that appears on the

display represents the clockwise angle

formed between magnetic north (which is

0 degrees) and the displayed direction.

• You can repeat steps 1 through 3 as

many times as you like.

• The following table shows the meanings

of each of the direction abbreviations that

appear on the display.

4. Next, you can adjust the rotary direction

bezel so that the “N” or “

” mark is

aligned with the magnetic north indicator.

This correctly aligns all of the markings

on the bezel.

• The Digital Compass operation is

automatically interrupted whenever an

alarm (Daily Alarm or Hourly Time Signal)

sounds. If this happens, start the Digital

Compass operation again from the

beginning.

To take a direction reading and store data into

memory

1. While in the Digital Compass Mode, use

D to select the memory area where you

want to store the data. Each time you

press D , the selected memory area

changes in the following sequence.

• Each memory area is identified by a number from 1 through 5. The

Normal Display shows the current time and date without a memory

number.

• If the memory area you select already contains data, that data appears

on the display whenever the memory area is selected. Performing a

Digital Compass operation replaces the existing data with the newly

measured data.

2. Use the same procedures as described in steps 1 through 4 under

“To take a direction reading without storing data into memory.”
