Tough Solar Power
Tough solar technology features a unique solar panel converting even the weakest illuminations; natural, solar, or artificial lighting into electric power. A rechargeable battery with large power storage capabilities supports various operations with high energy consumption, such as the operation of the three sensors and Full Auto EL backlight. The power saving function is a separate technology which automatically turns the display off after a certain period in the dark, yet is smart enough to judge illumination levels to insure the EL backlight does not turn on when there is sufficient lighting levels.
Digital Compass with Duplex LCD Display
With digital technology sure to keep the outdoor enthusiasts on track, Casio combines a Duplex LCD display and digital compass. The Duplex LCD display provides greater visibility when taking compass readings. The directional pointers seem to float on the digital display while the timepiece’s rotating bezel allows for proper alignment on the map.
Thermometer
Monitor the constant changes in natural phenomena with reliable accuracy. A built in thermometer checks and displays the temperature every five minutes both on land and in water. Temperature ranges are from -10 degrees to 60 degrees Celsius (14 to 140 degrees F).
Altimeter
When enjoying the outdoors keep track of high altitude, low altitude, and total ascent and descent values. The altimeter uses a pressure sensor to detect air pressure, which then is used to estimate the current altitude based on the International Atmosphere present values. The altimeter measures elevation levels between -2,300 feet and 32,800 feet.
Barometer
Predict the weather with reasonable accuracy. Casio’s Pathfinder timepieces automatically take barometric pressure readings every two hours. The measurement results are used to produce barometric pressure graph and pressure differential indicator.
