Timex Helix - Manual (Page 14)

B. The range of readable barometric
pressures is equally huge: 13.30 to 31.00 Hg or
450 to1050 mb, with .05 Hg or 1 mb resolution.
C. Your watch's range of measurable altitudes is a healthy
0 to 19,680 feet or 0 to 6,000 meters, with either a 10-foot or
5-meter resolution.
D. Range of readable depths is 0 to130 feet or 0 to 40 meters, with a 1-foot or
1-meter resolution (DM only).
All out-of-range readings will be displayed as HI or LO. At that very moment, you'll be
either very cold, very hot, very deep, or very high; and you may want to make a mental note.
What the note says is entirely up to you.
IMPORTANT NOTES REGARDING YOUR HELIX INSTRUMENTS MAIN FEATURES
Altimeter
Your Helix wrist instrument, like most products of its kind, uses barometric pressure to measure
altitude. This means that your altitude reading could change while you’re in the same place
based on shifting weather conditions. It will also not be accurate in climate-controlled settings.
So, if you’re trying to get a reading of your ascent/descent rate while running up and down the
stairs at home or in your office, chances are your readings are not accurate.
Your Helix wrist instrument should be used for recreational purposes (i.e., snowboarding,
skiing, hiking, or climbing), not for skydiving, hang-gliding, para-gliding, gyrocopter
riding (whatever), glider riding, or flying.
Temperature Reading
The temperature reading will be affected by your own body heat, direct
sunlight, and moisture. For the most accurate reading, remove the
watch from your wrist and wait 15 minutes.
