Deleting an Altitude Measurement Record

Use the Recall Mode to delete altitude measurement records. You can enter
the Recall Mode by pressing D.

Note

• The procedure you should use to delete a record depends on if the record

was produced by Auto measurement or Manual measurement.

• Deleting Auto measurement records deletes the entire set, from the initial

record to the final record.

• You cannot delete a record that is part of an ongoing Auto measurement

operation (indicated when AUTO is flashing on the display). You can,
however, delete records from another, already completed measurement
operation.

To delete a altitude measurement record

1. In the Recall Mode, display the record you

want to delete.

• If you want to delete a set of Auto

measurement records, display the first
record of the set.

2. To clear the data, hold down A until the

watch emits a long beep (and until

CLR

stops flashing on the display).

BACKLIGHT

The backlight uses an EL (electro-
luminescent) panel that causes the entire
display to glow for easy reading in the dark.
The watch’s auto light switch automatically
turns on the backlight when you angle the
watch towards your face.

• The auto light switch must be turned on

(indicated by the auto light switch on
indicator) for it to operate.

• See “Backlight Precautions” for other

important information about using the
backlight.

To turn on the backlight manually

In any mode, press L to illuminate the display for about one second.

• The above operation turns on the backlight regardless of the current auto

light switch setting.

About the Auto Light Switch

Turning on the auto light switch causes the backlight to turn on for about one
second, whenever you position your wrist as described below in any mode.

• Be sure to wear the watch on the outside of your left wrist while using the

auto light switch.

Moving the watch to a position that is parallel to the ground and then tilting
it towards you more than 40 degrees causes the backlight to turn on.

Warning!

Always make sure you are in a safe place whenever you are reading

the display of the watch using the auto light switch. Be especially
careful when running or engaged in any other activity that can result
in accident or injury. Also take care that sudden illumination by the
auto light switch does not surprise or distract others around you.

When you are wearing the watch, make sure that its auto light switch

is turned off before riding on a bicycle or operating a motorcycle or
any other motor vehicle. Sudden and unintended operation of the
auto light switch can create a distraction, which can result in a traffic
accident and serious personal injury.
