Care and maintenance

We recommend that you clean your watch regularly using a soft cloth and lukewarm water.

After bathing in salt water, rinse your watch with fresh water and leave it to dry completely.

Avoid exposing your watch to excessive variations in temperature or humidity, to strong

sunlight or stong magnetic fields.

• Incorrect operation of the pushers = different alarm from the normal beep

• No operation for 30 seconds = automatic deactivation of the glass

• No operation for 3 seconds in setting mode = exit setting mode

Important notes

For the best reading of the temperature, remove the watch from your wrist and

wait for approximately 15 to 30 minutes. For more information see the

explanation of the thermometer on page 22.

For correct use of the altimeter, adjust it as often as possible. For more

information see the explanation of the altimeter on page 20.

The barometer function indicates a trend. Hands superposed to the left of

midday = bad weather, at midday = stable weather, to the right of midday = good

weather. For more information, see the explanation of the barometer function

on page 9.

Your watch is waterproof to 30 m. However, no function can be operated if the

glass is in contact with a liquid.

General information on use

•Activate the glass by pressing

•When the glass is activated, a flashing

bar will appear on the digital display

•Select a function by touching the corresponding area on the glass

•Brief presses on the pushers = step by step movement of the hands or incrementation

(decrementation) on the digital display

•Long presses on the pushers = continuous movement or incrementation (decrementation)

Miscellaneous information

The program on your watch takes into consideration variations in atmospheric pressure

over the previous 8 hours to calculate the trend to be displayed, ensuring greater reliability

and precision than a "mechanical" barometer which only displays an instantaneous trend.

Furthermore, the variation in pressure caused by a rapid change in altitude is detected by

the program and compensated for automatically. It therefore has no influence on the

barometric trend.

Unit conversion: 1 hectoPascal [hPa] = 1 millibar [mb]

Technical data

Measuring range: 300 hPa to 1100 hPa

Accuracy: ±3 hPa

Resolution: 1 hPa

The digital display gives the value of absolute

atmospheric pressure in hectoPascals [hPa].

Barometers and meteorological maps indicate

the value of pressure respect to the sea level.

BAROMETER

Barometer function, indication of the meteorological trend

Description of the function

In this mode, your watch is transformed into a

BAROMETER. The hands superpose to indicate the

meteorological trend.

Explanations

Changes in weather are linked to variations in atmospheric

pressure.

The watch measures these variations in pressure and

indicates the meteorological trend.

When atmospheric pressure increases, the sky clears. The

hands move to the right.

This is called a "high pressure" zone or "anticyclone" (A).

When atmospheric pressure decreases, the sky clouds over.

The hands move to the left.

The is called a "low pressure" zone or "depression" (D).

The change in pressure is measured and displayed using

the hands which can assume the following 7 positions

depending on the meteorological trend:

-6' : Major drop in pressure, rapid deterioration

-4' : Moderate drop in pressure, probable deterioration

-2' : Minor drop in pressure, probable slight deterioration

12h: No notable meteorological change

+2' :

Minor increase in pressure, probable slight improvement

+4' : Moderate increase in pressure, probable improvement

+6' : Major increase in pressure, rapid improvement

COMPASS

Compass, indication of geographical North

Description of the function

In COMPASS mode, your watchindicates the

geographical north pole, taking the magnetic

deviation into consideration.

Explanations

The vertical lines (meridians) on a globe converge toward

the geographical north pole (Ng) and indicate its direction.

The pointer on a conventional compass indicates the

direction of the magnetic north pole (Nm).

The angle (α) between these two directions is called the

magnetic deviation. The value of the magnetic deviation

therefore depends on your position on the globe.

Furthermore, the magnetic north pole is constantly

changing. The value of the magnetic deviation therefore

also depends on the date.

When the correct value (depending on place and date) of

the magnetic deviation is set (see the adjustment procedure

on page 12), the minute hand on your watch displays the

direction of the geographical North (Ng).

The values and dates of the magnetic deviation are

displayed on topographical maps or can be calculated

using special software.

Miscellaneous information

If you set the magnetic deviation to 0, your Khaki Field

Multi-touch will display the magnetic North (Nm).

The COMPASS function, as any other compass, must not

be used near a metal or magnetic object.

Thanks to its rotating glass, the watch can be oriented in

the same direction as a map. This glass is graded with the

following values:

- 30˚between a cardinal point (N,E,W,S) and the closest

points.

It is very important that you hold the watch as horizontal as

possible to obtain a true indication of North.

Technical data

Accuracy: ±8˚

Resolution: 1˚
