These are identified as sail mode [SAIL], barometer mode [BARO], compass mode [COMP] and time mode [TIME] in this manual and also on the display of the instrument. The Regatta features identical [SAIL], [COMP] and [TIME] modes but does not include [BARO] mode. 1.1.1 Backlight Features The Wristop Computer has an electroluminescent backlight. This is initiated by pressing and holding the [Mode] button in for 2 seconds. The backlight will remain on for 5 seconds. Pressing the [Mode] button during this time will restart the 5 second period, continuing the backlight feature. 1.1.2 Water Resistance The Wristop Computer is waterproof to a depth of 30m/100ft (according to ISO 2281). Note: The Wristop Computer models are not dive instruments. Buttons should not be operated (put to use) while under water. 1.2 BUTTON FUNCTIONS Four buttons are used to operate the Wristop Computer: [Mode], [+] (ON/OFF), [-] (Fast Bearing), and [Select]. 1.2.1 The [Mode] Button Is located on the top right of the Wristop Computer. · · · · In the main mode level, pressing the [Mode] button allows the user to select or move from one mode or function to the next (TIME, SAIL, BARO, COMP). In the sub mode level, pressing the [Mode] button returns the user to the main mode level. In the setup process, pressing the [Mode] button accepts the changes or preferences. Pressing the button again will return the user to the main mode level. Pressing the button for 2 seconds activates the backlight feature. 5 1.2.2 The [+] Button Is located on the bottom right of the Wristop Computer. · · In the setup process, pressing the [+] button changes or scrolls the value upward. In the timing functions, this button can act as a start/stop (or On/Off) button. 1.2.3 The [-] Button Is located on the bottom left of the Wristop Computer. · · · Sets the sailing timer value (120 min. ­ 1 min.) In the setup process, pressing the [-] button changes or scrolls the value downward. This button is also known as the "Fast Bearing" button. Pressing the [-] button in any of the main modes (except in Sailing Timer) will quickly display the compass mode, showing either the normal compass or bearing tracking feature (depending on what display has been chosen in the compass mode). 1.2.4 The [Select] Button Is located on the top left of the Wristop Computer. · · · In the main mode level, pressing the [Select] button allows the user to enter into the sub modes of the particular function or return to the main mode the user is in. In the main mode or sub mode, pressing and holding the [Select] button in for more than 2 seconds allows the user to enter the setup process. In the setup process, the [Select] button allows the user to move between settable units or values and determine preferences. 1.3 LCD DISPLAY The display is designed to offer maximum clarity and simplicity to the user. The display is divided into several regions or areas. · The Outer Circumference encompasses the outer boundary of the LCD display. 6 · · · · · A Barometric Trend Indicator provides a quick reference for forecasting weather conditions (Mariner and Yachtsman). Field 1 displays values either numbers or text depending on the mode or sub mode the user is in. Field 2 displays large numbers and/or related unit of measure of the function. A Mode Indictor Bar displays the main modes (functions) of the Wristop Computer (a triangle arrow located just below the bar indicates the mode the user is viewing). Field 3 displaying either numbers and/or text. 7 1.4 MEASUREMENTS AND UNITS (MARINER AND YACHTSMAN) The Wristop Computer supplies two units of measure: metric or imperial. Metric Unit of Measure °C mbar m Imperial Unit of Measure °F inHg ft 1.4.1 Selecting the Units of Measurement To change the unit of measure displayed: 1. Check the mode indicator. If the mode arrow is not on TIME, PRESS the [Mode] button until the arrow is directly below TIME on the Mode Indicator Bar. 2. PRESS the [Mode] and [Select] buttons simultaneously and hold in for 3 seconds. Field 1 will display "SET" momentarily and then display "UNI" (Fig. 1). WARNING: If the user presses the [Select] button (and does not hold for 2 seconds) while in the "UNI" setting mode, the user will be in the Pressure Sensor Calibration. Refer to the next section for details. 3. PRESS the [Select] button and hold in for 2 seconds. Located to the right in Field 2, "mbar" or "inHg" will begin to flash. 4. PRESS the [+] button to toggle between "mbar" and "inHg". 5. At the unit of measure desired, PRESS the [Select] button to move to the next unit. Located at the ...
