The compass calibration is complete 42 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
