CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION

GENERAL INFORMATION

The Observer Wristop Computer is a reliable high precision electronic instrument, intended for

recreational use. The outdoor enthusiast who enjoys venturing in sports like skiing, kayaking,

mountain climbing, hiking and biking can rely on the Observer s accuracy.

NOTE: The Observer should not be substituted for acquiring measurements that require

professional or industrial precision and should not be used to acquire measurements when

skydiving, hang gliding, paragliding, gyrocopter riding and flying small aircraft.

The Observer is available in three different material combinations:

Observer Sr with stainless steel housing and elastomer strap, Observer St with stainless steel

housing and stainless steel / elastomer bracelet and Observer Tt with Titanium housing and

Titanium / elastomer bracelets. All material versions have identical functions and operation.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Perform only the procedures discussed in this manual.

Never attempt to disassemble or service the Observer.

Protect your Observer from shocks, extreme heat and prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. If

not in use, your Observer should be stored in a clean, dry environment at room temperature.

The Observer can be wiped clean with a lightly moistened (warm water) cloth. Applying a mild

soap to the area can clean stubborn stains or marks.

Avoid exposing the Observer to strong chemicals like gasoline, cleaning solvents, acetone,

alcohol, insect repellents, adhesives, and paint, as they will damage the unit s seals, case and

finish.

Make sure the area around the sensors (located on the right of the instrument) is kept free of dirt

and sand. Never insert any objects into the sensor openings.

ADJUSTING THE BRACELET (ST AND TT MODELS)

The metal / elastomer bracelets of the Observer models St

and Tt have to be adjusted for the user. The steps are

1. Remove the buckle by releasing the spring bars with

pin, paper clip or other sharp object.

2. Remove both spring bars from the pin holes.

3. Shorten the bracelet by cutting along the grooves

on the inner surface of the bracelet. You can do this

for instance with scissors. If you are unsure of the

correct length, cut the pieces one by one and test

the length after cutting each piece. Cut in turns from

both sides of the bracelet to keep the sides equally

long. Be careful in order not to shorten the bracelet

too much.

4. Replace the spring bars into the last pin holes of

both sides of the bracelet.

5. Attach the buckle to the bracelet by placing the

spring bars into the holes in the buckle. In both sides

of the buckle are holes for two different positions.

This can be used for fine adjusting of the bracelet

length. Make sure that the spring bars are positioned

straight in the buckle.

KEY FEATURES

The Observer has four main modes: TIME, ALTIMETER, BAROMETER, and COMPASS.

In each of the features there are associated sub modes providing further enhancements to its

usefulness during your outdoor adventures. All key features and sub features will be discussed

in further detail following this chapter.

BACKLIGHT FEATURES

The Observer has an electroluminescent backlight. To activate the backlight, press and hold the

[MODE] button for 2 seconds. The backlight will remain on for approximately 10 seconds. If you

press buttons to operate, the backlight remains on 10 seconds from the last pressing.

WATER RESISTANCE

The Observer is water resistant up to 100m/330ft. However, it is not a diving instrument and

therefore the buttons should not be operated (put in use) while underwater.

BUTTON FUNCTIONS

The Observer is operated with four buttons as shown in Fig. 1.1: [MODE], [ON OFF], [QUICK],

and [SELECT].

The MODE Button

Located on the top right of the Observer performs the following functions:

 A short press allows you to move from one mode to the next (TIME, ALTI, BARO, COMP).

 While in the sub mode level, a short press returns you to the main mode.

 During the setup process, a short press accepts all changes and exits the set function.

 A long press of 2 seconds activates the backlight feature.

The ON OFF Button

Located on the bottom right of the Observer performs the following functions:

 In the TIME Mode, the bottom field view can be scrolled displaying the calendar date,

seconds, or dual time.

 During the setup process, a short press causes the selected value to increase.

 For chronometer, a short press acts as a start/stop.

 In ALTIMETER mode the logbook starts and stops with two short presses.

 In the COMPASS mode, two short presses change between the normal compass and bearing

tracking feature.

The QUICK Button

Located on the bottom left of the Observer performs the following function:

 In the setup process, pressing the [QUICK] button causes the selected value to decrease.

 In the TIME, ALTIMETER, or BAROMETRIC mode, a short press quickly displays the

cumulative information of the current logbook recording. Refer to Chapter 3, Fast Cumula

tive Features for more information

 For chronometer, this button is used for lap times and zeroing.

 In COMPASS mode, a short press locks the bearing.

The SELECT Button

Located on the top left of the Observer performs the following functions:

 In a main mode level, a short press allows you to enter into the sub modes of the particular

function or return to the main mode.

 For entering the setup process, a long press of 2 seconds allows you to initiate changes to the

Observer s functions.

 While in the setup process, a short press allows you to move between settable units or values

and determine preferences.

LCD DISPLAY

Designed to offer maximum clarity and simplicity the display is divided into several areas as

shown in Fig. 1.1.

a) The top field displays numbers or text depending on the mode or sub mode you are viewing.

b) The middle field displays large numbers and/or the related unit of measure of a function.

c) The bottom field displays either numbers and/or text.

d) The Mode Indictor Bar displays the main modes of the Observer. The half oblong

shape located just below the bar indicates the mode you are viewing. The half-moon

shape under the mode indicator indicates the Observer is being used as a barometer

(weather station) or altimeter.

e) The outer circumference of the LCD graphically tracks the units of measure based on the

selected mode.

f) On the top left, an arrow shaped Barometric Trend Indicator provides a quick refer-

ence view of weather conditions.

MEASUREMENTS AND UNITS

The Observer supplies two units of measure: Metric or Imperial. Each unit can be selected

individually.

Metric Unit of Meas re Imperial Unit of Meas re

mft

m/min ft/min

To set or check Unit of Measurement settings

If the mode indicator is not on TIME, press the [MODE] button until it is directly below TIME.

1. Press the [MODE] and [SELECT] buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds to enter the setup

mode. The top field will display SET momentarily and then change to UNI.

NOTE: Setup mode will automatically exit if left idle for more than one minute.

2. Press the [SELECT] button for 2 seconds to view the first setting. You will see the first unit

flashing.

WARNING: If you perform a short press of the [SELECT] button while in the UNI setting

mode, you will switch to Pressure Sensor Calibration. Refer to the next section for more details.

3. Press the [SELECT] button to move to the unit you want to change. You can change the

flashing unit. The units are in the following order: m/ft, m/min / ft/min, hPa/inHg, ºC/ºF.

4. Press the [ON OFF] or [QUICK] button to toggle between the metric and imperial settings.

5. To confirm the setting(s), press the [MODE] button.

6. To exit the setup process, press the [MODE] button again.

PRESSURE SENSOR CALIBRATION

WARNING: This is a FACTORY CALIBRATION SETTING. Do not enter this mode.

If you enter this mode in error, exit immediately by pressing the [MODE] or [SELECT] button

to return to the UNI setting mode. Normally there is no need to alter the calibration.

If the Pressure Setting Calibration has been altered, you can return the factory setting. Proceed

as follows: In the calibration setting mode, scroll the barometric pressure value up or down until

text REF appears. This is the factory setting. Then exit by pressing [MODE].

BATTERY REPLACEMENTS

ancy is approximately 12 months.
