CHAPTER 7 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
GENERAL
Is the Wristop Computer waterproof?
Yes, it is waterproof to a depth of 30 meters (100 ft). Rain and other normal exposure to water will not
effect its operation. You can swim wearing your Wristop Computer. However, the Wristop Computer is
NOT a diving device.
How long will the battery last?
All users employ the product in different ways. Battery life depends mainly on how much the backlight,
the compass and the logbook are used. The low-battery warning symbol appears on the display when
5 to 15 percent of battery capacity remains. This should give the user plenty of time to safely change
the battery.
What do the segments on the circumference mean?
In the Altimeter mode, one full circle equals 1,000 meters or 1,000 feet, therefore the segments on the
circumference graphically show the user the altitude over a full thousand. When using the difference
measurement function of the altimeter, the segments indicate the vertical difference in the elevation
over a full thousand either to the right if youre ascending or to the left if youre descending.
In the Barometer mode, one full circle equals 100 mbar or 1 inHg, and the segments indicate the
pressure over a full hundred mbar or over a full inHg. When using the difference measurement function
of the barometer, the segments indicate the change in atmospheric pressure either to the right if the
pressure has risen or to the left if the pressure has dropped.
In the main Compass mode, the segments indicate the North, i.e. the one segment indicates North and
the three segments point South. If you have set the compass to track a certain bearing, the segments
on the circumference indicate the difference between the direction in which you want to go and your
actual bearing.
Why do the segments on the circumference go to the left (counterclockwise)?
Normally, they always go to the right (clockwise) from the 12-noon position.
You are in the difference measurement mode and your unit is showing a decreasing value. In normal
