Victorinox ALTIMETER User manual
ALTIMETERTM
14378 REV2010
The Altimeter comes equipped with a 3 volt lithium battery (Panasonic
CR 1225, 3V). To change the battery, use the mini-screwdriver to open the
battery compartment and replace the battery (see illustration below).
ALTIMETER BATTERY CHANGE
The altitude is displayed with a delay in order to substantially
extend battery life. For this reason, a Victorinox Altimeter
may not be used to measure altitudes during parachuting
or similar types of speed/air pressure sports.
IMPORTANT
Extend each implement halfway, then
apply a few drops of oil at the base of that
implement. For blades that do not move
easily, open and close a few times in
warm water, then dry and oil. This care
will ensure a lifetime of faithful service.

Calibration
Altimeters calculate altitude on the basis of air pressure. For this
reason, any altimeter has to be recalibrated prior to use owing to
daily fluctuations in air pressure. The altimeter has to be reset at
a known altitude (e.g. at home, at a railway station, mountain cottage,
etc.) to this altitude.
Turning on Digital Display
Press and hold the Cross and Shield for 4 seconds until information
appears on the display. Either the temperature or the altitude will
appear depending on how long the display was last set. To toggle
between Altitude and Temperature modes, press the Cross and Shield.
