31 4.3 SEA LEVEL PRESSURE SUB MODE Sea level pressure is pressure relative to sea level where as the pressure read in the main barometric display is absolute pressure in the current location. In the Barometer mode, PRESS the [Select] button three times to enter this sub mode.
32 4.4 BA ROMETRIC TREND INDICA TOR Located on the top left corner of the LCD display resides the Barometric T rend Indicator. This feature is always displayed in all main modes providing the user a continual quick reference to analyze upcoming weather conditions.
33 bearing degrees; a North-South arrow; a bearing track mode showing desired direction and actual bearing; a bubble level for accuracy reading +3 degrees (except in the X-Lander); a rotating bezel; a resolution of 1° for the bearing, +5° for North-South direction; and a declination correction feature.
34 5.1 BEARING TRACKING SUB MODE The user can select to change from the cardinal point mode to the bearing track function and utilize the bearing lock function in this mode for tracking purposes (Fig. 7). In the compass main mode: 1. PRESS the [Select] button and hold in for 2 seconds.
35 5.2.1 Setting the Local Declination 1. PRESS the [Select] button and hold in for 2 seconds. Located in Field 1, OFF will begin to flash. 2.

36 direction of turning does not matter. The lit segments will be turned off as the turning proceeds. When the first full circle is completed, the instrument will inform the user within one minute of whether the calibration was successful displaying the text dOnE in Field 2 (Fig.
37 6.1.3 W ha t do the se gments on the cir cumference mean? In the Altimeter mode, one full circle equals 1,000 meters or 1,000 feet, therefore the segment s on the circumference graphically show the user the altitude over a full thousand.
38 6.2 TIME 6.2.1 W hy do the se gments on the cir cumf er ence increase and decrease w hen I am in t he Time mode? The main function of the segments is related to the Comp ass mode, where a division into 36 segments is necessary due to the 360-degree scale of a compass.
39 T o avoid excessive battery drain, the recording is not continuous. The recording functions have certain timeouts (i.e. the recording will be turned off automatically after a certain time). The timeouts are shorter for the faster interval and longer for the slower interval.
40 Third, if think ing about the difference measurement function and how this is affected by the example situation, the Wristop Computer will show you the absolute difference between 5,000 ft and 8,000 ft (beginning and end).
41 6.4.2 Does the Wristop Computer show futur e trends in weather conditions? No, the Wristop Computer continually accumulates data on barometric pressure existent within a 3 to 6 hour window and displays general barometric trends in weather based on the accumulated data.
42 6.5.2 Wher e do I find the cor rect declination for my area so I can set my Wristop Computer? Local declination, either E or W , is usually marked on maps with either one-degree or half-degree accuracy .
