EN Manual FINAL (Ambient) NEW 4/26/99 5:04 PM Page 12 c TEMPERATURE In TEMPERATURE mode you can read the current temperature and program a compensating temperature offset. 12 Program Offset An offset is used to compensate for factors which affect the watch's ability to accurately determine the temperature. Examples of these factors are body temperature, wind-chill, etc. By calibrating your watch's temperature sensor you can tune it to your environment. For example, if your watch displays a temperature of 23Cº, but another thermometer reads 21Cº, you can set your watch to match the other thermometer. Warning: Use this feature only when necessary. In order to erase a temperature offset so the watch shows the temperature as calibrated by the manufacturer, you must reset the entire watch. All time, date, alarm and timer settings will be erased. 13 C CROWN B A Change display between Celsius and Fahrenheit 1 In TEMPERATURE mode, press and hold BUTTON A for 2 seconds.
