Thank you for your purchase. If your watch should arrive to you in ‘sleep mode’, to
activate, press & hold all four buttons simultaneously to ‘wake up’ the watch. This
watch represents the state-of-the-art in recreational sensor watches. The VS-3 unit
features an alarm & hourly chime, altimeter with memory log, barometer, chronograph,
compass, countdown timer, and world time. Please keep in mind, your watch is a sensitive
technical instrument. With proper care and maintenance, it will last for many years.
However, improper care and handling can cause the various sensors to be damaged and
to stop functioning. Please read all sections of this manual carefully and become fully
familiar with the operation of the watch before using it in the eld.
CAUTION: The watch is not designed to be worn during watersport activities or designed
to be submerged in water as this can damage the sensors. Special care should be taken
not to press any pushbuttons should the unit get wet by accident as this can force moisture
past the pushbutton-seals and signicantly damage the unit.

CAUTION: Exposure to strong magnetic elds will cause the compass unit to malfunction
and may even permanently damage the compass sensor. Keep the unit away from magnetic
sources (TV, large metal objects, etc.).
WARNING: This product is NOT designed to be used as a PRIMARY altitude instrument
for flying, skydiving, hang gliding or other sports where significant changes in altitude
may occur suddenly, or when there is a need for industrial precision.
Your VS-3 should be protected from shocks, extreme heat and extended exposure to direct
sunlight. We recommend that all servicing procedures be carried out by an authorized
Momentum® Service Center. NEVER attempt to disassemble or otherwise service your
watch, as this may void your warranty. Store your watch in a clean, dry area at room
temperature.
Normal battery life is approximately 12-18 months.
NOTE: Heavy usage of the Altimeter, Compass or Backlight system may reduce battery
life.
NOTE: A blank display or inaccurate altimeter or compass readings are indications that
the battery is getting weak and should be replaced.
