Operation Guide 3157 • If you want to cancel bearing sensor correction, press D in step 5 instead of C. This will return to the screen in step 2. From there you can press A to exit the calibration screen. • The indicator will go around the display up to four times, if you do not stop it by pressing C. After the fourth time, the watch will exit the calibration screen automatically. To perform magnetic declination correction Magnetic Magnetic declination declination 1. In the Digital Compass/Thermometer Mode, hold down A until the indicator at the 12 o'clock position starts to angle value angle direction flash. This is the calibration screen. 2. Press C. • The magnetic declination angle and magnetic declination angle direction will flash on the display. 3. Use D (+) and B (-) to change the magnetic declination angle and magnetic declination angle direction settings. • You can select a value within the range of 90° W to 90° E with these settings. • The following explains magnetic declination angle direction settings. 0 OFF: No magnetic declination correction performed. The magnetic declination angle with this setting is 0°. E: When magnetic north is to the east (east declination) W: When magnetic north is to the west (west declination) • You can turn off (0 OFF) magnetic declination correction (which effectively makes the magnetic declination angle: 0°) by pressing D and B at the same time. • The illustration, for example, shows the value you should input and the direction setting you should select when the map shows a magnetic declination of 1° West. 4. When the setting is the way you want, press A to exit the setting screen. Using the Digital Compass While Mountain Climbing or Hiking This section describes three real-life situations where you could use the watch's builtin digital compass. • To set a map and find your current location Having an idea of your current location is important when mountain climbing or hiking. To do this, you need to "set the map", which means to align the map so the directions indicated on it are aligned with the actual directions of your location. Basically what you are doing is aligning north on the map with north as indicated by the watch. • To find the bearing to an objective To set a map and find your current location North indicated on the map 1. With the watch on your wrist, position it so the face is horizontal. 2. In the Timekeeping Mode, press D to take a compass reading. • The reading will appear on the display after about two seconds. 3. Rotate the map without moving the watch so the northerly direction indicated on the map matches north N Current location as indicated by the watch. • If the watch is configured to indicate magnetic north, align the map's magnetic north with the watch indication. If the watch has been configured with a declination to correct to true north, align the map's true north with the watch indication. N •This will position the map in accordance with your current location. North indicated by 4. Determine your location as you check the geographic north pointer contours around you. To find the bearing to an objective 1. Take a compass reading and then set the map so its northerly indication is aligned with north as indicated by N the watch, and determine your current location. • See "To set a map and find your current location" for information about how to perform the above step. Objective 2. Set the map so the direction you want to travel on the Current location map is pointed straight in front of you. 3. With the watch on your wrist, position it so the face is horizontal. N 12 o'clock position 4. In the Timekeeping Mode, press D to take a compass reading. • The reading will appear on the display after about two seconds. 5. Still holding the map in front of you, turn your body until north as indicated by the watch and the northerly direction on the map are aligned. • This will position the map relative to your current location, so the bearing to your objective is straight ahead of you. Questions & Answers Question: What causes incorrect direction readings? Answer: • Nearby source of strong magnetism, such as a household appliance, a large steel bridge, a steel beam, overhead wires, etc., or an attempt to perform direction measurement on a train, boat, etc. Move away from large metal objects and try again. Note that digital compass operation cannot be performed inside a train, boat, etc. Question: What causes different direction readings to produce different results at the same location ? Answer: Magnetism generated by nearby high-tension wires is interfering with detection of terrestrial magnetism. Move away from the high-tension wires and try again. Question: Why am I having problems taking direction readings indoors ? Answer: A TV, personal computer, speakers, or some other object is interfering with terrestrial magnetism readings. Move away from the object causing the interference or take the direction reading outdoors. Indoor direction readings are particularly difficult inside ferro-concrete structures. Remember that you will not be able to take direction readings inside of trains, airplanes, etc. World Time Timekeeping Mode time City code Current time in the zone of the selected city code World Time displays the current time in 48 cities (29 time zones) around the world. • If the current time shown for a city is wrong, check your Home City time settings and make the necessary changes. • All of the operations in this section are performed in the World Time Mode, which you enter by pressing C. To view the time in another city In the World Time Mode, use D (east) to scroll through city codes (time zones). • For full information on city codes, see the "City Code Table". To toggle a city code time between Standard Time and Daylight Saving Time DST indicator 1. In the World Time Mode, use D (east) to display the city code (time zone) whose Standard Time/Daylight Saving Time setting you want to change. 2. Hold down A to toggle between Daylight Saving Time (DST indicator displayed) and Standard Time (DST indicator not displayed). • The DST indicator appears on the display whenever you display a city code for which Daylight Saving Time is turned on. • Note that the DST/Standard Time setting affects only the currently displayed city code. Other city codes are not affected. Stopwatch Current time Minutes Seconds 1/100 second The stopwatch lets you measure elapsed time, split times, and two finishes. • The display range of the stopwatch is 59 minutes, 59.99 seconds. • The stopwatch continues to run, restarting from zero after it reaches its limit, until you stop it. • The stopwatch measurement operation continues even if you exit the Stopwatch Mode. • Exiting the Stopwatch Mode while a split time is frozen on the display clears the split time and returns to elapsed time measurement. • All of the operations in this section are performed in the Stopwatch Mode, which you enter by pressing C. To measure times with the stopwatch Elapsed Time D JD Start Stop JD Re-start JD Stop JA Clear Split Time D JA JA Start Split Split release (SPL displayed) Two Finishes D JA Start Split First runner finishes. Display time of first runner. JD Stop Second runner finishes. JD Stop JA Split release Display time of second runner. JA Clear JA Clear Countdown Timer Current time Hours Minutes You can set the countdown timer within a range of one minute to 24 hours. An alarm sounds when the countdown reaches zero. • You also can select auto-repeat, which automatically restarts the countdown from the original value you set whenever zero is reached. • All of the operations in this section are performed in the Countdown Timer Mode, which you enter by pressing C. Seconds To configure countdown start time and auto-repeat settings 1. While the countdown start time is on the display in the Countdown Timer Mode, hold down A until the hour setting of the countdown start time starts to flash, which indicates the setting screen. • If the countdown start time is not displayed, use the procedure under "To use the countdown timer" to display it. 2. Press C to move the flashing in the sequence shown below, and select the setting you want to change. Start Time (Hours) Start Time (Minutes) Auto-Repeat On/Off Auto-repeat on indicator 3. Perform the following operations, depending on which setting is currently selected on the display. • While the start time setting is flashing, use D (+) and B (-) to change it. • Set 0:00 to specify 24 hours. • While the auto-repeat on/off setting (0N or 0FF) is flashing on the display, press D to toggle auto-repeat on (0N) and off (0FF). 4. Press A to exit the setting screen. • The auto-repeat on indicator ( ) is displayed on the Countdown Timer Mode screen while this function is turned on. • Frequent use of auto-repeat and the alarm can run down battery power. 3
