3. Press A to exit the setting screen.
   • This will cause the hour and minute hands to move to the current Timekeeping Mode time.

Barometer/Thermometer

This watch uses a pressure sensor to measure air pressure (barometric pressure) and a temperature sensor to measure temperature.

To enter and exit the Barometer/Thermometer Mode

1. While in the Timekeeping Mode, press C to enter the Barometer/Thermometer Mode.
   • BARO will appear on the display, indicating that barometric pressure and temperature measurements are in progress. The measurement results will appear on the display after about five seconds.
   • After you press C, the watch will take readings every fi ve seconds for the first three minutes, and then every two minutes after that.

2. Press C fi ve times to return to the Timekeeping Mode.
   • The watch will return to the Timekeeping Mode automatically if you do not perform any operation for about one hour after entering the Barometer/Thermometer Mode.

Barometric Pressure

• Barometric pressure is displayed in units of 1 hPa (or 0.05 inHg).
• The displayed barometric pressure value changes to – – – if a measured barometric pressure falls outside the range of 260 hPa to 1,100 hPa (7.65 inHg to 32.45 inHg). The barometric pressure value will reappear as soon as the measured barometric pressure is within the allowable range.

Temperature

• Temperature is displayed in units of 0.1°C (or 0.2°F).
• The displayed temperature value changes to –.- °C (or °F) if a measured temperature falls outside the range of –10.0°C to 60.0°C (14.0°F to 140.0°F). The temperature value will reappear as soon as the measured temperature is within the allowable range.

Display Units
You can select either hectopascals (hPa) or inches (inHg) as the display unit for the measured barometric pressure, and Celsius (°C) or Fahrenheit (°F) as the display unit for the measured temperature value. See “To specify temperature, barometric pressure, and altitude units” (page E-39).
Pressure Differential Level Indicator

This indicator shows the relative difference between the most recent barometric pressure reading and the current barometric pressure value displayed in the Barometer/Thermometer Mode (page E-23).
Interpreting Barometric Pressure Differential Levels
The pressure differential is indicated in the range of ±5 hPa, in 1-hPa units.

• The nearby screenshot, for example, shows the level indicator when the calculated pressure differential is approximately –3 hPa (approximately –0.09 inHg).
  

• Barometric pressure is calculated and displayed using hPa as the standard. The barometric pressure differential also can be read in inHg units as shown in the illustration (1 hPa = 0.03 inHg).

Pressure Sensor and Temperature Sensor Calibration
The pressure sensor and temperature sensor built into the watch are calibrated at the factory and normally require no further adjustment. If you notice serious errors in the pressure readings and temperature readings produced by the watch, you can calibrate a sensor to the reading of another device to correct the errors.
Important!

• Incorrectly calibrating the temperature sensor can result in incorrect readings. Carefully read the following before doing anything.
  – Compare the readings produced by the watch with those of another reliable and accurate thermometer.
  – If adjustment is required, remove the watch from your wrist and wait for 20 or 30 minutes to give the temperature of the watch time to stabilize.

To calibrate the pressure sensor and the temperature sensor

1. Take a reading with another measurement device to determine the exact current barometric pressure or temperature.

2. With the watch in the Timekeeping Mode, press C to enter the Barometer/Thermometer Mode.

3. Hold down A until the current temperature value starts to fl ash on the display. This is the setting screen.
   • Before the temperature value starts to fl ash, the message SET Hold will appear on the display.
   Keep A depressed until SET Hold disappears.

4. Press C to move the fl ashing between the temperature value and barometric pressure value, to select the one you want to calibrate.

5.  Use D (+) and B (–) to adjust the calibration value in the units shown below.
   Temperature 0.1°C (0.2°F)
   Barometric Pressure 1 hPa (0.05 inHg)
   • To return the currently fl ashing value to its initial factory default setting, press B and D at the same time. OFF will appear at the fl ashing location for about one second, followed by the initial default value.

6. Press A to return to the Barometer/Thermometer Mode screen.

Barometer and Thermometer Precautions

• The pressure sensor built into this watch measures changes in air pressure, which you can then apply to your own weather predictions. It is not intended for use as a precision instrument in offi cial weather prediction or reporting applications.
• Sudden temperature changes can affect pressure sensor readings.
• Temperature measurements are affected by your body temperature (while you are wearing the watch), direct sunlight, and moisture. To achieve a more accurate temperature measurement, remove the watch from your wrist, place it in a well-ventilated location out of direct sunlight, and wipe all moisture from the case. It takes approximately 20 to 30 minutes for the case of the watch to reach the actual surrounding temperature.

Altimeter

The watch displays altitude values based on air pressure readings taken by a built-in pressure sensor.
How the Altimeter Measures Altitude
The altimeter can measure altitude based on its own preset values (initial default method) or using a reference altitude specifi ed by you.
When you measure altitude based on preset values
Data produced by the watch’s barometric pressure sensor is converted to approximate altitude based on ISA (International Standard Atmosphere) conversion values stored in watch memory.
When you measure altitude using a reference altitude specifi ed by you
After you specify a reference altitude, the watch uses that value to convert barometric pressure readings to altitude (page E-34).

•  When mountain climbing, you can specify a reference altitude value in accordance with a marker along the way or altitude information from a map. After that, the altitude readings produced by the watch will be more accurate than they would without a reference altitude value.

To take an altimeter reading

1. Make sure the watch is in the Timekeeping Mode.

2. Press D to start Altimeter measurement.
   • ALTI will appear on the display, indicating that Altimeter measurement is in progress. The first reading will appear on the display after about four or five seconds.
   • The current altitude value is displayed in units of 5 meters (20 feet).
   • After the first reading is obtained, the watch continues to take altimeter readings automatically every fi ve seconds for the first three minutes, and then every two minutes after that.
   • If you leave the watch in the Altimeter Mode, it will update the displayed altitude value regularly.
   • Temperature is measured in the Barometer/Thermometer Mode and in the Altimeter Mode. For details about temperature readings, see “Temperature” (page E-24).

3. After you are finished using the Altimeter, press C to return to the Timekeeping Mode and stop auto measurement.
   • The watch will return to the Timekeeping Mode automatically if you do not perform any operation for about 10 hours after entering the Altimeter Mode.

Note

• The measurement range for altitude is –700 to 10,000 meters (–2,300 to 32,800 feet).
• The displayed altitude value changes to – – – – if an altitude reading falls outside the measurement range. An altitude value will reappear as soon as the altitude reading is within the allowable range.
• Normally, displayed altitude values are based on the watch’s preset conversion values. You also can specify a reference altitude value, if you want. See “Specifying a Reference Altitude Value” below.
• You can change the unit for displayed altitude values to either meter (m) or feet (ft). See “To specify temperature, barometric pressure, and altitude units” (page E-39).

Specifying a Reference Altitude Value

The altitude readings produced by this watch are subject to error caused by changes in air pressure. Because of this, we recommend that you update the reference altitude value whenever accurate altitude information is available during your climb. After you specify a reference altitude value, the watch adjusts its air-pressure-to-altitude conversion calculation accordingly.

To specify a reference altitude value

1. In the Altimeter Mode, hold down A until the current reference altitude value starts to fl ash. This is the setting screen.
   • Before the reference altitude value starts to fl ash, the message SET Hold will appear on the display. Keep A depressed until SET Hold disappears.

2. Press D (+) or B (–) to change the current reference altitude value by 5 meters (or 20 feet).
   • Specify a reference altitude value based on accurate altitude information about your current location from a map, etc.
   • You can set the reference altitude value within the range of –10,000 to 10,000 meters (–32,800 to 32,800 feet).
   • Pressing B and D at the same time returns to OFF (no reference altitude value), so the watch performs air pressure to altitude conversions based on preset data only.

3. Press A to exit the setting screen.

How does the altimeter work?
Generally, air pressure and temperature decrease as altitude increases. This watch bases its altitude measurements on International Standard Atmosphere (ISA) values stipulated by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). These values define relationships between altitude, air pressure, and temperature.

• Note that the following conditions will prevent you from obtaining accurate readings:
  When air pressure changes because of changes in the weather Extreme temperature changes
  When the watch itself is subjected to strong impact

There are two standard methods of expressing altitude: Absolute altitude and relative altitude. Absolute altitude expresses an absolute height above sea level. Relative altitude expresses the difference between the height of two different places.

Altimeter Precautions

• This watch estimates altitude based on air pressure. This means that altitude readings for the same location may vary if air pressure changes.
• The semiconductor pressure sensor used by the watch for altitude measurements is also affected by temperature. When taking altitude measurements, do not subject the watch to temperature changes.
• Do not rely upon this watch for altitude measurements or perform button operations while sky diving, hang gliding, or paragliding while riding a gyrocopter, glider, or any other aircraft, or while engaging in any other activity where there is the chance of sudden altitude changes.
• Do not use this watch for measuring altitude in applications that demand professional or industrial level precision.
• Remember that the air inside of a commercial aircraft is pressurized. Because of this, the readings produced by this watch will not match the altitude readings announced or indicated by the flight crew.

Specifying Temperature, Barometric Pressure, and Altitude Units

Use the procedure below to specify the temperature, barometric pressure, and altitude units to be used in the Barometer/Thermometer Mode and the Altimeter Mode.

Important!
When TYO (Tokyo) is selected as the Home City, the altitude unit is set automatically to meters (m), the barometric pressure unit to hectopascals (hPa), and the temperature unit to Celsius (°C). These settings cannot be changed.
To specify temperature, barometric pressure, and altitude units

1. In the Timekeeping Mode, hold down A until the currently selected city code starts to fl ash. This is the city code setting screen.
   • Before the city code starts to fl ash, the message SET Hold will appear on the display. Keep A depressed until SET Hold disappears and the city code starts to flash.

2. Keep pressing C until TEMP (temperature), ALTI (altitude), or BARO (barometric pressure) appears in the left corner of the screen.
   • See step 3 under “To change the current time and date settings” (page E-18) for information about how to scroll through setting screens.

3. Perform the operations below to specify the units you want.
   To specify this unit:| Press this key:| To toggle between these settings:
   ---|---|---
   Temperature| D| °C (Celsius) and °F (Fahrenheit)
   Altitude| D| m (meters) and ft (feet)
   Barometric Pressure| D| hPa (hectopascals) and inHg (inches of mercury)

4. After the settings are the way you want, press A to exit the setting screen.

Precautions Concerning Simultaneous Measurement of Altitude and

Temperature

Though you can perform altitude and temperature measurements at the same time, you should remember that each of these measurements requires different conditions for best results. With temperature measurement, it is best to remove the watch from your wrist in order to eliminate the effects of body heat. In the case of altitude measurement, on the other hand, it is better to leave the watch on your wrist, because doing so keeps the watch at a constant temperature, which contributes to more accurate altitude measurements.

• To give altitude measurement priority, leave the watch on your wrist or in any other location where the temperature of the watch is kept constant.
• To give temperature measurement priority, remove the watch from your wrist and allow it to hang freely from your bag or in another location where it is not exposed to direct sunlight. Note that removing the watch from your wrist can affect pressure sensor readings momentarily.

Troubleshooting

Time Setting
■ The current time setting is off by hours.
Your Home City setting may be wrong (page E-14). Check your Home City setting and correct it, if necessary.
■ The current time setting is off by one hour.
You may need to change your Home City’s standard time/daylight saving time (DST) setting. Use the procedure under “To change the current time and date settings” (page E-18) to change the standard time/daylight saving time (DST) setting.
Sensor modes
■ I can’t change the temperature, barometric pressure, and altitude units.
When TYO (Tokyo) is selected as the Home City, the altitude unit is set automatically to meters (m), the barometric pressure unit to hectopascals (hPa), and the temperature unit to Celsius (°C). These settings cannot be changed.

■ The battery indicator ( ) appears while a sensor operation is being performed.

The battery indicator appears in the left corner of the digital display whenever there is not enough battery power available to perform a sensor operation in the barometer/Thermometer Mode or Altimeter Mode. Sensor operation is disabled while the battery indicator is displayed. • Normal operation should return after battery power recovers.
■ “ ERR” appears while a sensor operation is in progress.
Subjecting the watch to a strong impact can cause sensor malfunction or improper contact of internal circuitry. When this happens, ERR (error) will appear on the display and sensor operations will be disabled.

• If ERR appears while a measurement operation is being performed in a sensor mode, restart the measurement. If ERR appears on the display again, it can mean there is something wrong with the sensor.

• Barometer/Thermometer Mode and Altimeter Mode sensor operations are disabled whenever there is not enough battery power available to perform a sensor operation.
  This is true regardless of the current battery level. In this case, ERR will appear on the display. This does not indicate malfunction, and sensor operation should resume once battery voltage returns to its normal level.

• If ERR keeps appearing during measurement, it could mean there is a problem with the applicable sensor.
  Whenever you have a sensor malfunction, take the watch to your original dealer or nearest authorized CASIO distributor as soon as possible.

The pressure differential level indicator does not appear on the display when I enter the Barometer/Thermometer Mode.

• This could indicate sensor error. Try using C to re-enter the Barometer/Thermometer Mode.
• The pressure differential level indicator is not displayed when the displayed current barometric value is outside of the allowable measurement range (260 to 1,100 hPa).

World Time Mode
■ The time for my World Time City is off in the World Time Mode.
This could be due to incorrect switching between standard time and daylight saving time. See “To specify a standard time or daylight saving time (DST) for a city” (page E-43) for more information.
