The ALTIS should be protected from shocks, extreme heat and extended exposure to direct sunlight. You
should only perform service procedures related to the changing of the battery as shown in this manual.

NEVER

attempt to disassemble or otherwise service your watch. Store your watch in a clean, dry area at

room temperature.

Clean your watch using a moist cloth. Care should be taken when cleaning the lens not to rub dirt into the
surface as it can become scratched and hard to read.

CHANGING WATCH BATTERY

The ALTIS use a common

CR2032 3V

Lithium battery.

Normal battery life is approximately 1yr.

NOTE:

Heavy usage of the Altimeter, Compass or Backlight system may

significantly reduce battery life.

NOTE:

A blank display or inaccurate altimeter or compass readings are indications that the battery is

getting weak and should be replaced.

REPLACING THE WATCH BATTERY

Remove battery door using a coin.

Turn the stainless steel battery retainer counter-clockwise.

Carefully remove the retainer and old battery. Do not damage the O-ring seal.

Place a fresh battery in the battery compartment with the positive (+) side facing up.

Slide the battery retainer over the battery and position the tabs into their appropriate holes.

Slide the retainer counter clockwise.

Replace battery door using a coin.

If the O-ring has been damaged, replace it before

reinstalling the battery door. Most jewelers and watch
shops should have replacement O-ring seals.

NOTE:

Extreme care should be taken when replacing the battery to ensure the unit remains fully

water resistant. Failure to properly replace the battery and correctly seal the unit may cause the unit
to become damaged and may void the warranty.
