Press the Clock Button to display the Clock. ADJ SETUP STEP-BY-STEP Clock Setup (con't. ) Step 5 Advance minutes. [. . . ] When you enter the barometer reading, the altitude is also adjusted in the altimeter. Note: The analog and digital movements of this watch operate indenpendantly. Please set each individually to ensure they are kept in sync. 17 ALTIMETER AND BAROMETER DETAILS Effects of Atmospheric Pressure Changes. A change in atmospheric pressure will make the displayed altitude different from the known altitude of a landmark. The ST 4000 can be adjusted so that it displays the same altitude as the landmark. Minor atmospheric pressure changes may cause the displayed altitude to vary from the actual altitude by 50 feet. With the arrival or departure of a weather front, displayed altitude can change 100 to 200 feet, and a storm can cause a change of more than 200 feet. Synchronization (the relation between altitude and sea level barometer) is set at the factory. To ensure barometer accuracy you can check it after a year or two and correct minor drift if necessary. You must know your current altitude and must get the current sea level barometer from a local airport or weather broadcast to make this adjustment. You can also synchronize the thermometer if it reads consistently high or low over a range of temperatures. Thermometer Accuracy. The ST 4000 measures the ambient air temperature with a sensor inside its case. When the watch is worn against your skin, temperature readings will be affected significantly. For accurate readings, remove the watch from your wrist and place away from direct sunlight. The Altimeter and Thermometer revert to the Clock 10 minutes after the last time a button is pressed. 19 ADJUSTING THE ALTIMETER AND BAROMETER Adjust at a known altitude when you want precise altitude readings or when you want to update the sea level barometer. Press the Altimeter Button to display the Altimeter. ADJ ADJUSTING THE ALTIMETER AND BAROMETER (Con't. ) Effect on Sea Level Barometer. When you adjust the altitude the sea level barometer is set at the same time. Press the Adjust Button ­ the Altimeter digits blink and an arrow at the left of the display toggles between up and down. S/S Step 3 Change Altitude. Press the Start/Stop Button to move the Altimeter up or down in 5-foot increments in the arrow direction. ADJ Sea Level Barometer After Altitude Adjust Step 4 Exit. At the correct altitude press the Adjust Button to exit. 20 21 SETTING THE BAROMETER Barometer & Altimeter Adjust from a Weather Report Updating the barometer from a broadcast or airport weather report will adjust the altitude concurrently. Press the Adjust Button ­ the Barometer digits blink and an arrow at the left of the display toggles between up and down. Press the Start/Stop Button to move the Barometer up or down in . 01-inches-of-mercury increments in the arrow direction. 22 ADJ SETTING THE BAROMETER Barometer & Altimeter Adjust from a Weather Report (con't. ) Step 4 Exit. [. . . ] Altitude and vertical feet displays update frequently if there has been a change in altitude or a button has been pressed recently. Atmospheric pressure changes during a day's activity affect the accumulated vertical feet very little­usually less than 1%. 37 USING THE SPORT FUNCTIONS IN HIKING AND CLIMBING Example: Recording vertical ascent and maximum altitude on a hike. Step 1 At the trailhead reset Vertical Ascent. ADJ Step 3 Reset Maximum Altitude. Step 4 After completing your hike, turn the accu. Step 2 Start the Vertical Ascent accumulator. ADJ S/S S/S S/S S/S If your hike is a loop or out-and-back, accumulated ascent and descent will be the same. Remember that accumulation does not begin until you have climbed 30 feet. [. . . ]
