for water temperature readings, the MODE button
should be pressed out of the water and the watch
may be fully submerged after the button is pressed.
When in any application hold the MODE button to
enter the Temperature Gauge application.
The temperature reading will be shown in any ap-
plication as long as it is not on a SETTING STATE.
To enable or disable the reading, hold the MODE
button in any application. After 30 seconds a time out
will automatically close the application to save power
