Introduction
Thank you very much for purchasing the “TRUME".
Make sure you read the manual supplied to use this product correctly.
This product is not intended for taking measurements that requires professional precision. Measurement
function readings are intended for general reference only.
This product can identify the current time zone by receiving GPS satellite signals and adjust it to the correct local
time. Also, the Automatic Time Reception feature is constantly automatically correcting the time.
*However, you need to set Daylight Saving Time (DST) manually.
The watch's built-in sensors allow you to check field information such as altitude, direction, barometric pressure,
and distance. You can also check the UV index, temperature, step count, and calories burned on the watch using
the expanded sensor supplied.
The watch continues to operate when it is charged by light. This watch is an environmentally friendly product that
generates electricity through natural resources and does not require regular battery replacement.
The following provides a quick introduction on using this product.
To select the item you want to measure, press and release the Abutton to move the mode hand to the mode you
want to measure, such as ALT (altitude) or BAR (barometric pressure). You can then start or stop measuring by
simply pressing and releasing the Cbutton.
For measurement items using the expanded sensor, change the mode hand to ACC (accessory). The rest of the
operations are the same.

For example, if you have been abroad or traveling.
Wear the watch on your arm, and place your key holder with the expanded sensor in your pocket.
The watch has a built-in GPS satellite signal reception system called "SATELLITELINK" that receives a GPS signal
by one action and automatically enters the current time zone when you leave the airport at your destination.
On your way to the hotel, you can easily check environmental data such as the altitude and current temperature
for the city.
After dropping off your luggage at the hotel, you can go out and explore the city.
If you do not know your way around the city, check the direction in COM (direction) mode. The center hand
points North while vibrating slightly like a real magnetic compass.
Hold down the Bbutton for at least three seconds in COM mode to register the location of the hotel as the base
point. If you get lost while out exploring, press the Cbutton for at least three seconds. You can use the hands on
the watch to check the direction and distance to the hotel (Waypoint feature).
And when you're safely back at the hotel, you can easily check today's steps and calories burned.

Many people enjoy heading to the countryside on their holidays.
When you are planning such a trip, try attaching the expanded sensor to a backpack or your clothes, and then
wear the watch when you go out. If necessary, you can check the altitude, pressure, direction, UV index (strength
of UV rays), or temperature with two actions at anytime. The ability to check the measurements for a variety of
sensors by simply glancing at the hands of your watch allows you to feel closer to nature.
We hope you will make use of this product in a wide variety of scenarios.
