Intended use
The BARIGO E7/E7S is intended as a watch with alarm, timer and
chronograph functions. Special functions are built in for hobby and
leisure activities, such as an altimeter, barometer, thermometer,
digital compass and a weather forecast display.
The product is not to be used for professional measurement purpos-
es. The product's readings/displays are not suitable for commercial
areas of application. The manufacturer does not assume any liability
for incorrect displays or readings nor for the consequences which
could arise from the same. Using the product except as described
above can cause damage, and other hazards.
The watch is splash-water proof for outdoor use. However, it is not
suitable for wearing in the shower, or while swimming or diving.
The entire project must not be changed or modified.

Use
The BARIGO E7/E7S is intended as a chronometer with additional
functions such as compass, altimeter, thermometer, weather fore-
cast, data log, two time zones, two alarm functions and EL backlight.
It is not suitable for commercial areas of application.
DANGER for children
• Batteries can be life-threatening if swallowed. Therefore store
your batteries and your BARIGO E7/E7S so that they cannot be
reached by small children. If a battery is swallowed, seek medical
assistance immediately.
• Keep children away from the packaging.
Danger of suffocation!

DANGER caused by batteries
•Before inserting the battery, make sure that the contacts in the
BARIGO E7/E7S are clean - clean them if necessary!
•Only use new batteries.
•Pay attention to the polarity (+/-) when inserting the battery.
•Never try to recharge batteries. Danger of explosion!
•Store the batteries in a cool, dry place. Direct heat may damage
the batteries. Do not expose the BARIGO E7/E7S to strong heat
sources.
•Do not short-circuit the battery.
•Never throw the battery into a fire.

•Remove the battery when not using the BARIGO E7/E7S for a
longer period of time.
•Immediately remove any leaking batteries form the BARIGO
E7/E7S. Clean the contacts with a dry towel before you insert a
new battery. Danger of acid burns from the battery acid!
•Also remove empty batteries from the BARIGO E7/E7S.
•Do not throw away empty batteries in the household waste,
dispose of them properly.
•Only use the battery type specified in the technical data.
BEFORE FIRST USE
Your BARIGO E7/E7S was specially developed for leisure pursuits
such as trekking, hiking, climbing or similar activities.

First remove the protective film from the glass clock face and rear of
the watch.
If you purchased the watch new, it will be switched off even though
the battery has already been inserted.
To turn on the watch press the following buttons at the same
time S1 [BARO/LAP], S3 [ALTI/DATA], S4 [MODE/LOG] and S5
[LIGHT/SET].
The altitude readings displayed by the BARIGO E7/E7S come from
atmospheric pressure calculations
The CR2032, which comes with a pre-installed lithium battery, was
originally used for testing purposes and may have a short life.

Caution
- Set up the current time before use.
- The digital compass must be calibrated before use. And also after
changing the battery. (Observe the instructions in Section 6.2
Calibrating the compass in Chapter 6 Compass.
- The wrist strap of the BARIGO E7/E7S is made from polyurethane
(PUR). This material may cause skin irritations in certain persons.
Therefore, before wearing the wrist strap, wipe the inside of the
strap with a slightly damp cloth.
Warning
This watch is designed for leisure activities. Do not use it to carry out
measurements which should be performed with professional and
calibrated precision measurement equipment. Do not use for aero-
planes, paragliders, para-sport, gyrocopters, parachuting or similar
uses.

When performing risky activities such as mountain climbing, hiking,
etc., we recommend you also take along a field compass and map
of the area.
Precautions before use
The altitude reading is based on calculations made by the barometer
(the difference between the local atmospheric pressure and the
atmospheric pressure at sea level which is pre-set as the reference
value).
Atmospheric pressure at sea level more or less changes all the time.
As a result the displayed altitude reading on the watch also chang-
es.
When using the watch outdoors, you should from time to time
compare the altitude reading at a point whose altitude you already
know, or is marked on the (rambler's) map, etc. In terms of the

BARIGO –Makes the Difference
15
relationship between altitude, atmospheric pressure and tempera-
ture used in the calculation, see the description in Chapter 7.5 "The
relationship between altimeter, barometer and temperature" (page
85).
The wrist strap can be attacked by aggressive sweat. Therefore, you
must clean the strap after wearing the watch.
Scope of supply
The sales packaging contains
1 BARIGO E7/E7S watch
1 Mini CD-ROM with this operating manual
1 Lithium button battery CR2032 (pre-installed)
If any of the above is missing, please get in touch with the dealer
from whom you bought the watch.

2.4 Other button functions
Press the S5 button to switch on the backlit display for approx. 3
seconds. In watch mode keep the S5 button pressed down for
approx. 2 seconds to activate the key lock which locks all five
buttons. The key lock can be removed by pressing the S5 button
again for approx. 2 seconds.
In setting mode, which is activated by pressing and holding the S4
button for approx. 2 seconds, scroll through the menu up with the S1
button and downwards with the S3 button. Confirm your selection
with the S2 button.
The BARIGO E7/E7S automatically quits setting mode if there are
no button presses within a minute.
