altimeter reading by +/- 100 meters even if you have stayed in
the same location. If possible, re-calibrate to a known altitude
when drastic pressure changes occur.
You only need to calibrate barometer OR altimeter, since they
rely on the same pressure. See Calibration Mode on page 38
for more information.
“Before I curl into my sleeping bag I note the current altitude and
barometric pressure. In the few hours I sleep if I see a change in
altitude or barometric pressure I can get an idea of the coming
weather patterns. As it is an inverse relationship between altitude
and barometric pressure, if I wake at the same or lower elevation
I can be confident the atmospheric pressure has remained con-
stant. If I rise to a higher altitude I need to be aware as there is a
chance a low pressure is moving in.”

NOTE: For more accurate temperature readings, try wearing the
watch outside your jacket or clipping it to your belt or pack
(ideally in an area not constantly exposed to the sun). You can
also remove the watch from your wrist and put in shade for 15
to 30 minutes.
For information on calibrating your weather icon see Calibration Mode on
page 38.
TEMPERATURE AND FORECAST
In TIME, ALTI, BARO, CHRONO, and TIMER Modes, your WS4™watch
includes information about temperature and forecast.
The watch can predict the weather for the upcoming 4 – 6 hour period
based on the air pressure trends for the previous twelve hours. Generally, if
the air pressure is rising, the weather situation is considered to be improv-
ing and is indicated by the sun icon. If the air pressure trend is falling, then
the weather situation is worsening and is indicated by showing the clouds
and/or precipitation icons.
When worn on your wrist, the temperature reading is affected by body heat
and may differ from the actual temperature by 10 degrees or more. Long
periods of exposure to direct sunlight may also affect accuracy. The watch
can also measure the temperature in water, but make sure you don’t press
any watch buttons under water or this will compromise the watch’s water-
resistance.

COMPASS MODE
The WS4™watch includes an accurate digital compass that takes a read-
ing every second when engaged and shows the compass reading as a
number and a cardinal heading along with a virtual compass needle. You
must calibrate the compass prior to first use and it’s also a good idea to
calibrate it periodically to maintain more accurate readings. For more
information, see Calibration Mode on page 38.
Calibrating the Compass
When using the compass, it’s important to keep your wrist at a level, hori-
zontal position to help make compass readings more accurate.
For the most accurate readings, avoid calibrating the compass near large
metallic objects (such as electronics, cars, filing cabinets,
and anything else metal) since magnetic force in these
objects may interfere with the magnetic field and give you
inaccurate compass readings. Note that the Indiglo®night-
light feature does not work while calibrating the compass.

Once you know your declination angle:
1. Press MODE until COMPASS is shown.
2. Hold SET to start.
3. Keeping the watch level and facing up, rotate it twice (taking at least
15 seconds per revolution) and then press MODE.
4. Press START/SPLIT or STOP/RESET to increase or decrease setting
values to match your chosen declination angle.
5. Press MODE to advance to the next setting option.
6. Press SET to finish.
If you see CAL OK at the end of the calibration process you have suc-
cessfully calibrated the compass. If you see CAL FAIL, repeat the cali-
bration process.
ATTENTION: Calibration may fail if you rotate the watch too
quickly or take longer than one minute to complete.
Calibration may also fail if you are near objects that are
magnetic.

appears from the watch display to preserve battery life. Press START/SPLIT
to display the current heading for another 30 seconds.
TIP: Your watch would be a great tool for orienteering. You can
use your compass to navigate way points and if you participate
in an orienteering race, you can time yourself using the chrono-
graph (see next section).
CHRONO MODE
Your watch includes a chronograph, which is a stopwatch function. The
chrono can track up to 100 hours and 99 laps. The data you collect while
running the chronograph can then be used to check your progress in
Review Mode. (See page 31 for more information about Review Mode).
