Timex Expedition WS4 Pocket Manual

USING YOUR ALTIMETER
For increased accuracy calibrate the altimeter before you leave home and as
frequently as possible at all known altitudes.
ATTENTION: Sudden changes in barometric pressure can impact
your altimeter reading. If possible, re-calibrate to a known altitude
when drastic pressure changes occur.

Setting Altimeter Features:
Target Altitude: If the Chrono is running, the WS4

• Press STOP/RESET: Reset accumulated statistics.
Altitude Reference Points allow you to set the altitude of a known location
ahead of time, and then re-calibrate your watch at that point with one push
™ watch will track the of a button.
