Important!
Your watch’s Altimeter Mode calculates relative altitude based on changes in barometric pressure
measurement by its pressure sensor. For more information, see pages E-51 and E-65.
Immediately before embarking or otherwise taking altitude readings, be sure to specify a reference
altitude. If you don’t the readings produced by the watch probably will not be very accurate. For more
information, see “To specify a reference altitude value” (page E-56).
To ensure correct direction readings by this watch, be sure to perform bidirectional calibration before
using it. The watch may produce incorrect direction readings if you do not perform bidirectional
calibration. For more information, see “To perform bidirectional calibration” (page E-30).
