This watch will go everywhere with you - in leisure and sports activities or simply in your day-to-day life. Shock-resistant, waterproof, accurate and practical, it will soon impress you with its versatility and quality. Whether you are a keen climber or a globetrotting trekker, it will guide you over mountainous terrain with its altimeter and electronic compass. [. . . ] This mode also features a graphic display of the barometric trend over the last 24 hours. NB: atmospheric pressure is displayed in mbar (millibars). To change the barometric pressure units, hold down B until the unit of pressure (mbar or mmHg) stops flashing to change from mbar to mmHg and vice versa. Ca Ho ac an we Temperature display: I WARNING: Body temperature may influence the value displayed. For an accurate idea of the outside temperature, take the watch off your wrist and place it on a surface at ambient temperature. Allow the watch to adjust to the ambient temperature (three to five minutes) and the display will stabilise. NB : The temperature varies by intervals of 0. 1°C and variations are recorded very precisely. However, the accuracy of the absolute figure is lower (1 to 2°C). Comparing the display with another thermometer may lead to errors, as the value depends on the calibration of the two devices. To change the units of temperature measurement (°C <> °F). You must be in "BAROMETER" mode. Keep pressing A or E to display the temperature on the bottom line. Hold down B until the unit of temperature (°C or °F) stops flashing to go from °C to °F or vice versa. Pr 38 2MW500EN. qxd:NOTICE_MW500_2 11/12/07 12:14 Calibrating measurements. EN ea of The watch measures altitude and atmospheric pressure using the same sensor. It cannot therefore determine whether the atmospheric pressure changes because of a change in altitude or changed climatic conditions. You therefore need to calibrate the barometer to the altitude of the measurement site. ng Calibrating sea level atmospheric pressure. Hold down D until the words "SET CURRENT WEATHER" scroll across the screen. Press C: "SET SEA LEVEL PRESSURE" scrolls across the screen.
