Before Using Altimeter
●
The watch’s Altimeter can be configured to use positioning information
(GPS) to correct altitude readings automatically (not supported when the
WSD-F10 is connected with an iPhone). Configure the settings below to
use this function.
ー
Correctly configure the “Location” setting on the watch and smartphone.
For more information, see step 1 under “Preparing the Watch for Outdoor
Use”.
ー
Select “ON” for the “Correct Altitude Using Location” setting.
After reading “Common Outdoor Function Settings”, perform the
operation under “Correct Altitude Using Location”.
●
Since the watch displays relative altitude based on changes in barometric
pressure, it may display different altitude readings for the same location, or
incorrect readings due to changes in the local barometric pressure. “Correct
Altitude Using Location” uses GPS information to correct altitude. Even so,
since GPS information generally includes some error, there may be large
error between the altitude readings produced by this watch and actual
altitudes indicated locally. If you want more accurate altitude readings while
climbing or hiking, manually inputting locally indicated altitude values is
recommended. After reading “Common Outdoor Function Settings”,
perform the operation under “Altitude Calibration”.
●
When taking altitude readings, keep the watch at as stable a temperature
as possible. For better accuracy, strap the watch to your wrist for some time
before taking readings in order to allow the watch’s temperature to stabilize.
Changes in pressure sensor temperature can cause measurement error.
