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 risen or to the left
if the pressure has dropped.
In the main Compass mode, the segments indicate the North, i.e. the one segment indicates North and the
three segments point South. If you have set the compass to track a certain bearing, the segments on the
circumference indicate the difference between the direction in which you want to go and your actual bearing.
7.1.4 Why do the segments on the circumference go to the left
(counterclockwise)?
Normally, they always go to the right (clockwise) from the 12-noon position.
You are in the difference measurement mode and your unit is showing a decreasing value. In normal mode, the
segment display increases clockwise, but if you are in a mode that shows you differences, all decreasing
values go counterclockwise from the center position, and all increasing values go clockwise. So, it is minus to
the left (counterclockwise), and plus to the right (clockwise).
7.1.5 Why is there a symbol above the Mode Indicator Bar and
what does it mean?
The symbol indicates that one, two, or three daily alarms are activated.
7.2 TIME
7.2.1 Why do the segments on the circumference increase and
decrease when I am in the Time mode?
The main function of the segments is related to the Compass mode, where a division into 36 segments is
necessary due to the 360-degree scale of a compass. In the Time mode, the segments show the advancement
of seconds. Because the number of seconds differs from the number of degrees, it is impossible for the segments
to be consecutively lit up; they now light up or extinguish, thereby marking the passing of every second.
