4.3.2.2 PEER settings (CALIB and SET ZONE) The FOOT PEER is calibrated in this mode. Please read the separate instructions PEER SETTINGS on this. The training zones of the FOOT PEER and the HEART PEER are set in this mode. Please read the separate instructions PEER SETTINGS on this.
4.4 DATA LOG (RETRIEVING STORED DATA) To operate this function please also note the short instructions! With each Log that was stored in the SPORT function via the stopwatch or the VERTIC-LOG numerous other data has also been stored. These LOGS can be readout in the DATA LOG and if necessary either individual or all LOGS can be deleted. The memory capacity is 10 LOGs with up to 99 LAPs each. Press until DATA LOG appears in the display. For approx.
► LOG delete (ERASE) As described on the previous page you reach the LOG delete function with the EL2 button. The deleting is important to remove old data and make room for new data. If you have 5 logs for example, they are numbered in numerical order 1-5. If you delete No. 3, 4 and 5 will move one down. Before deletion, however, you will be asked whether you want to load the data onto the PC. This function is only available in the version if the PC PEER is available.
On the operation screen the LOG No. ready to be deleted will appear along with the question ERASE? (= delete?). If yes: Select the corresponding LOG No. using the S/L and S/R buttons. By then pressing the button EL2 again, the selected LOG will be removed from the memory. The remaining number of LOGs will be displayed (remaining = REMAIN). After 2 seconds you will be returned to the LOG display. If no: You can use the M button to move to the question ALL ERASE? If yes: Confirm again with EL2.
► READING-OUT THE LOG DATA As described in the beginning of this chapter you can reach the data read-out of the LOG selected in LOG DISPLAY using the EL button. LOG ready for read-out (here, as an example, “01”) Select LOG number with S/R button LOG xx (select xx with S/R) There is a lot of data available. In order to easily and understandably move around through the data, imagine there are drawers filled with data contents that have to be opened and closed.
Possible choices of “Data Drawers” (from LOG DISPLAY with EL): SUMMARY button S/R LAP INFO – With EL from SUMMARY: total time of selected LOG, this means all LAPs (select TOTAL TIME, altimeter data ALTI UP, DOWN, MAX and MIN with S/R) Please note: If the HEART and/or FOOT PEER are available, there are also data for this in the SUMMARY ! The procedure is then as follows: TOTAL TIME - RUN DIST – MAX/AVG PACE – MAX/AVG HR - ALTI UP –ALTI DOWN, ALTI MAX - ALTI MIN – RUN LO – RUN IN – RUN HI – HR LO – HR IN
– With EL from LAP INFO: total time (ACC.TIME) of individual LAPs in hh:mm:ss. Select the desired LAP in ACC.TIME via the S/R button. – With EL from ACC.
4.5 ALTIMETER (ALTIMETER, THERMOMETER) The altimeter (ALTIMETER) functions by measuring the air pressure.
Press until ALTIMETER appears on the display. (You can, at any time, use the same button to move to the next function, unless you are in a setting mode.) The first display on the screen is: limbing speed in m/h or min/100 m Current measuring of the altimeter Temperature measurement on the watch Rate of climb: displayed in m/h. Up to 120 m/h. Then the display switches to min/100m. The m/h refers to the last hour.
► Display options In the temperature field of the display following information can be shown with this button (in the sequence of the display): – time (the main time of the watch, meaning T1 or T2 as in chapter 4.1) - Tp = Thermo Peer, the temperature measured at the Thermo Peer (only if the Thermo Peer is available and the SEND mode is activated!). If no value is received for 2 minutes, lines will appear in this display.
► Settings (calibration, reference heights, altitude alarm) 46 With this button you can move to the set mode with the menus SET ALTI - ALTI RECALL - ALTI ALARM With these buttons you can scroll back and forth between the three upper setting menus With this button you move from one of the three menus to the respective setting in the selected menu Functions and operation •
1) SET ALTI The current measured altitude is blinking and can be adjusted (calibrated) up/down with the S/R and S/L buttons. Confirm with M. On the next display, which can be selected with S/L and S/R, you have following options: Curr – rEF-1 – rEF-2 –rEF-3 – ABORT. This determines whether the set altitude should only be taken over as current altitude (Curr) or at the same time stored as one of the reference altitudes (rEF 1-3). (ABORT = abort setting).

4.6 BAROMETER (AIR PRESSURE, WEATHER, MEASURING UNITS) In the BAROMETER function in general the atmospheric pressure is measured and displayed in mbar (hPa). For this purpose following display options are available A) Display of locally measured effective air pressure (LOCAL) and the temperature measured in the watch, along with a chart of the pressure course of the last 24 hours (horizontal in ½ hour steps, vertical in 1 mbar resolution).
► Display Options Press until ALTIMETER appears on the display. (You can, at any time, use the same button to move to the next function, unless you are conducting a setting.
Display option F (THERMO LOG) If a Thermo Peer is available (icon active on display) the THERMO-LOG function can be used.
If data have already been loaded once, the following type of display appears: ----> Date of the measurement value Rxx ----> Time of the measurement value Rxx ----> Rxx: Recording number. The latest recording with the highest available entry number appears. Behind that, the corresponding measurement value. --> With the S/L key, the previous measurement values can be displayed sequentially in 30-minute steps (e.g. R48 --> R47 –> > R45 --> R44 R46 -etc.
► Settings In the display for the measuring values there are several measuring units to choose from. They can be defined in the BAROMETER function.
4.7 COMPASS The compass is based on a sensitive, magnetic measuring element. The white triangle in the inner ring of the watch shows the direction of the watch. In the COMPASS function in the middle of the display the current time is shown in large numbers. Above this there is a display of the directions in degrees (0–359°), below this the direction of the watch, abbreviated in the 4 directions (N, S, W, E), as well as the 4 in between directions.
Press until COMPASS appears on the display. (You can, at any time, use the same button to move to the next function, the TIME function, unless you are in a setting mode.) First a display, as described on the previous pages, will appear with the current bearings. After approx. 30 seconds the bearing is switched off, to conserve the battery. With the EL button the bearing in the COMPASS mode can be switched on again for 30 seconds.
► Settings Calibration is recommended or necessary if you detect apparent discrepancies in the position fixing. Also for devices where the compass has never or only seldom been used it is recommended to conduct a calibration. The input of a declination angle, the variance between geographic and magnetic north direction requires that you know this at the site of compass use. If this is not possible leave the declination angle at 0°. In the Internet you can find a multitude of information about this (e.g.
► Calibration In the calibration mode following display appears: Hold the watch as level as possible to the ground and rotate it slowly, 2 x, clockwise (one rotation approx. 15 seconds). With this button you end the calibration (CAL DONE). After approx. 2 seconds you will be prompted to enter the declination angle.
5. BATTERY REPLACEMENT Battery replacement display Depending on use of the device the battery lasts from a couple of months up to one year (please note chapter 2 “Putting into operation”). To avoid a sudden and unpleasant interruption of operation a battery symbol will appear, above the date symbol, as soon as the battery becomes too weak and needs to be replaced. To replace the batteries please follow the instructions in chapter 3.7 (Battery compartment).
– If the device is not being used store it in a dry place and out of the reach of small children. In such cases it is important to remove the battery! – If a function is activated in extremely cold temperatures it may occur that the display is illegible and does not or only slowly change. This is normal because the battery may be too weak or the liquid crystals in the display are so to say frozen. As soon as the device is returned to a warmer environment it will function properly again.
