indirect, general or specific, caused by or related to these

instructions for use or the products they describe.

Use • Precautions for use

Normal conditions of use:

This watch is designed to be worn on your wrist for mountain sports

(hiking, mountain-biking, etc) It is for telling the time and measuring

lap times, using the stopwatch function. It features several

measurement instruments (barometer, altimeter, compass) to orient

yourself and describe outdoor environmental conditions.

Usage restrictions/recommendations for use:

• Waterproof design: This watch is waterproof to 5 ATM. It can therefore be

used in damp conditions, in heavy rain, in the shower, and for swimming.

However, do not wear the watch while diving or at a depth greater than 5

metres. However, you should not swim while wearing it. Do not press the

buttons under water.

• Handle the device with care: do not drop it and do not subject it to

significant impacts.

• Do not dismantle the watch. This would void the warranty and could

cause damage and loss of waterproofing.

• Read the instructions carefully before using it. Keep the instructions for

the entire life of the watch.

• Do not subject the watch to extreme temperatures. If the watch is

exposed to direct sunlight for long periods of time, the display may

darken temporarily, but will go back to normal once it has cooled down

again.

• Only clean with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use detergents, which risk

damaging the watch equipment.

I WARNING: Altitude calculations are based on variations in

pressure. We also advise you to set the value of the “sea level

pressure” parameter every time there is a significant change in the

weather or altitude (aeroplane) and the first time you use the watch in

order to avoid calculation errors. Indeed, air pressure varies not only

according to altitude but also because of the weather. To set “sea

level pressure” contact a meteorological centre or get the information

from an official website and see the adjustment section of these

instructions. Important This watch has an accuracy tolerance of +/- 8m

in altimeter function.

First use

Batteries: This watch uses a CR2032 battery. Please note: if you note

that the display is flashing unusually or doesn’t appear to be working

correctly, this usually means that the watch battery is low and needs

to be replaced. We recommend that you take the watch to a

DECATHLON specialist to have the battery replaced. If you change

the battery yourself, you risk damaging the seal, thus impairing the

waterproof design as well as voiding your warranty. Please check the

availability of the battery with your dealer before travelling. The

approximate battery life is one year, but this can vary depending on

how long it was stored in the shop and the way in which the watch is

used. The raw materials and the battery contained in this device can

be recycled by a professional. In order to protect the environment, we

encourage you to dispose of this product and/or the batteries which it

contains after using them in a collection site designed for this purpose.

Navigation system

This watch has 8 operating modes:

1 Time/date mode, with two time zones and the optional display of

temperature and weather predictions,

2 Compass mode (COMP).

3 Barometer mode (BARO) : Weather predictions, and barometric and

past variations.

4 Altimeter mode (ALTI) : Current and historic altitude.

5 Altitude data mode (ALTI DATA) : recall stored data.

6 Stopwatch mode (CHRO) : stopwatch.

7 Split time data mode (CHRO DATA) : recall stored split times.

8 Alarm mode (ALRM) : Two daily alarms.

Press C to change between modes

2MW500EN.qxd:NOTICE_MW500_2 11/12/07 12:14

Please note: Since the time mode (TIME) is the most regularly used

mode, we have provided a shortcut in order to select it more quickly:

Hold down C for three seconds at any time to return directly to time

mode.

Using the time mode

This mode provides information relating to the time and date, and

optionally displays weather conditions and the temperature.

The watch can display two time zones (indicated by T1 and T2)

• You can quickly see the time zone which is not displayed by

pressing B

• You can choose to display either time zone permanently by holding

down B (T1 or T2 flashes while you press the button and is then

displayed continually).

NB : The two time zones, T1 and T2, are independent:

hour, minutes, date. Only the seconds are identical in the two zones.

T1 and T2 must therefore be set separately.

The calendar automatically calculates the day of the week for all dates

from 2000 to 2049.

There are three time display modes:

• Time/date (TIME)

• Barometer time (BAROMETER)

• Time/weather forecast (WEATHER)

You change between modes by pressing A or E as in the following

diagram:

NB : The graphic display of sea level pressure and barometric trends

are described in the barometer chapter.

Adjusting the time and date

In time mode

Select the time zone to be set as indicated above.

Check that T1 or T2 is displayed.

Hold down D: you enter adjustment mode. A brief message is

displayed (ADJUST HOLD) and the hour flashes (HOUR).

Press A (+) or B (-) to increase or decrease the hour value.

Press C and the minutes flash (MIN).

Press A (+) or B (-) to increase or decrease the minute value

Press C and the seconds flash.

Press A or B to reset the seconds to zero.

Proceed in the same way to set the year, month, day and 12/24 hour

format.

Press D at any time to exit adjustment mode. The day of the week will

be calculated automatically.

NB : holding down buttons A or B while setting allows you to scroll

through the values more quickly.

NB : when you reset the seconds to zero, if the value was between 00

and 29 the minutes remain unchanged. Between 30 and 59, the

minutes increase by 1.

NB : if 12 hour mode is selected, the symbol A or P is displayed on the

main screen.

The value displayed in the table includes the corrected declination. This is

the correction between the geographic North pole and the magnetic North

pole.

I WARNING: it is very important to hold the screen horizontally so that

the calculated measurements are reliable. Otherwise the measurements

will not be correct. Like all compasses, this watch is sensitive to magnetic

fields. It is designed to be used outdoors, away from any metal parts and

magnetic sources (pay particular attention to watches, keys, table legs,

electric cables, computers, mobile telephones) which would cause

incorrect measurements. Also, before any significant use of the compass,

do not forget to calibrate it.

IWARNING: the compass function uses a lot of energy.

To save the battery, it will only be activated for around ten seconds before

the display turns off (- - -).

However, you can reactivate measurement by pressing button A again.

You can also hold down A for as long as you like.

In this case, the direction will be displayed for as long as you press the

button.

Calculated

direction

C B

There are three types of indication:

• Graphic North and South

directions (in the form of LCD

segments on the outside of the

display). One segment: indicates

North. Three segments: indicate

South.

• The azimuth in degrees

corresponding to the axis of the

bracelet.

On some models, a colour or

engraved marker points to the

calculated direction for greater

precision:

• The cardinal points of the

azimuth measured

(16 possibilities): for example:

Calibrating the compass:

Hold the compass horizontally.

Hold down D: CAL HOLD is displayed, then the word CAL.

Turn the watch horizontally through 720 degrees (two full rotations).

Each rotation should last fifteen seconds.

Press D to confirm that the rotation is over and to enter the declination

value (see the table below). The tens flash.

Press A(+) or B(-) to increase or decrease the tens.

Press C and the units flash.

Press A(+) or B(-) to increase or decrease the units.

Press C and E (East) or W (West) flashes.

Press A or B to change between E and W.

Appuyez sur D à n’importe quel moment pour terminer l’étalonnage.

Press D at any time to end calibration. Choose the closest city or, if

the cities are remote, enter a value halfway between two close cities.
