1. INTRODUCTION
Thank you for choosing the iClimber-DCX by IROX. You are now the owner of a high
quality watch which is the result of Italian design, Swiss engineering, Canadian and
Swiss technology, and is manufactured in the greater Hong Kong area.
The iClimber-DCX offers true novelties in the watch market. Among other things the
VERTIC-LOG® function, which was developed in cooperation with Swiss mountain
guides. Besides the operating steps described in chapter 4 you will also find an
explanation of how to use this function in chapter 9 and why mountain guides
requested this function.
The DCX offers additional functions that can be used with periphery devices (‘peers’)
that have a 2.4GHz signal:
- Thermo Peer with THERMO-LOG®
- Heart Peer (chest belt to measure pulse)
- Foot Peer (running sensor for the shoe)
- PC Peer (USB stick with PC software for data analysis)
All these peers are options and can be purchased separately.
The Thermo Peer with the THERMO-LOG function is an IROX innovation. This
function makes the DCX the first wristwatch that can measure the real ambient
temperature and also display it on the watch.
Peer functions are described in these instructions too. If you do not need to use the
respective peer, you can simply skip the corresponding sections. A peer can be put
into operation without restrictions at a later date.

Please read the instructions carefully. You will find useful and interesting information
beyond the operation explanations.
About IROX
IROX, as a brand, was founded in the year 2002 in Switzerland. IROX has
established itself as specialist for measuring devices for weather, environment, and
sports and is internationally present. Besides closely collaborating with the best
manufacturers in the electronics branch worldwide, IROX has also developed, and
made market ready, real innovations some of which have totally revolutionised the
market. The weather stations with the Meteotime System are only one example.
The i-Climber DCX with the Vertic-Log and the THERMO-LOG is also an absolute
global innovation.

2. PUTTING INTO OPERATION
1. The iClimber is delivered with inserted battery and the watch in a battery
conserving sleep-mode. In this state the display is switched off, “blank”.
2. The watch is activated by pressing any key for at least 3-5 seconds.
3. The watch can now be operated as described in chapter 4.
!Important information
The iClimber is a high quality measuring device with several functions that
you can influence and also some that can not be influenced because they
run in the background (e.g. pressure measurement). Please be aware that
active use of each additional function requires energy and therewith battery.
Often activating the backlight, using the Key-Tone, the compass for bearings
or the peers also draws power from the battery and this has a direct influence
on the battery life.
If you are going on an expedition during which you will be intensely using the
watch and exposing yourself and your equipment to very cold temperatures
we strongly recommend taking along replacement batteries (Type CR2032).
The watch battery, if the watch is simply used as a wristwatch, has a lifetime
of up to one year. The repeated use of several functions can reduce the
battery lifetime by a few months!
