User Manual

1.0 General Guide

Thank you for purchasing your new ADC. We recommend reading this manual, and practicing the operations before using your ADC in the field. The ADC is designed to provide you with information essential to your needs. Data such as temperature, wind speed, barometric pressure, altitude and humidity are features specific to four different ADC models: Wind, Summit, Pro and JetSet. Each ADC model is constructed to withstand water submersion and is ideal for conditions you endure during outdoor activities such as hiking, climbing, hunting, kayaking, skiing, and racing. Every ADC also includes current time, daily alarm, chronograph and race timer functions. ADCs are equipped with a propeller and other precise sensors to measure outdoor conditions. WARNING ! ! Make sure that you fully understand the functions and limitations of the ADC before relying on it. ! The ADC is an assisting device for the outdoor user, and is not a substitute for weather advisories from a weather station. It is helpful to check the readings provided by this product periodically with those broadcasted by the weather station.

2.0 Care and Maintenance

Prevent getting dirt in the ADC propeller. It could clog the mechanism. Avoid exposing this product to extreme heat or extreme cold for an unreasonable amount of time. Avoid severe impacts to the ADC. Store the ADC in a dry place when it is not in use. Clean the ADC with a soft moistened cloth occasionally. DO NOT expose the ADC to strong chemicals such as gasoline and alcohol, as they will damage this product.

How Wind Speed is Measured ! The ADC is equipped with a propeller that is similar to a traditional aerovane. ! When the propeller faces the wind, it rotates and generates signal. This product will pick up the signal and converts it into wind speed. Before and After Measuring a Wind Speed ! Turn the ball-shape propeller by your thumb and index finger until the propeller blades are entirely exposed, and it is not sheltered by the case. ! After a wind speed measurement, rotate the propeller to a closed position to prevent dirt from getting into it. To Measure Wind Speed ! Select Wind Speed Mode. Point the blades directly towards the wind direction, and make sure that the blades rotate freely. ! When the wind passes through the propeller, the blades rotate. The ADC starts to measure, and shows the current, average and maximum wind-speed readings.

11.3 Wind Speed Mode - What is Beaufort Scale?

What is Beaufort Scale? ! Beaufort Scale is the longest and most widely used set of criteria to describe the wind conditions and its effects on land as well as on sea. ! It categorizes the wind speed into 13 force numbers, from 0 (calm) to 12 (hurricane). Check the 'Beaufort Scale Table' section below for more detail on the Beaufort Scale. Beaufort Scale Bar ! For user's convenience, the ADC displays Beaufort Scale for average wind speed. ! T h e A D C e x h i b i ts B e a u f o r t S c a l e b y displaying different number of bars on the upper row of the display. One exhibited bar is equivalent to one Beaufort Scale force number. For example, if there are 5 bars on the display, the average wind speed is equivalent to force number 5 of Beaufort Scale. ! The ADC displays the Beaufort Scale force number from 0 to 10 (if the average wind speed is higher than force number 10, the ADC will display 10).

11.8 Wind Speed Mode - Using the Propeller as a Mechanical Compass

Propeller as a Mechanical Compass ! The ADC measures ambient temperature, wind speed, and it also tells compass directions. ! One of the propeller blades is red-colored to indicate the magnetic north pole. ! Four reference points were engraved on the ADC as reference points. To use the Mechanical Compass ! To check bearing of an object, make sure that the propeller cover is opened, and the blades are entirely exposed to air. ! Tilt the ADC until the propeller blades are parallel to the horizon, and the propeller blades rotate freely. ! The red-colored blade of the propeller will points to the magnetic north pole. Make use of the reference points (marked on the product) to check the direction of the target object.

12.2 Temperature Mode- Wind Chill Temperature

What is Wind Chill Temperature ! Wind chill is a temperature factor that combines air temperature and the effect of blowing wind. ! As blowing wind makes you feel as though the temperature is lower than simple air temperature. ! For example, if it is -9.4 degrees Celsius and the wind blows at 80.5 km per hour: People will feel as if the temperature is -23.3 degrees Celsius. In this case, the wind chill temperature is -23.3 degrees Celsius. ! The ADC is also equipped with wind chill temperature functions, including displaying current and minimum wind chill temperature, and having a wind chill temperature alarm. Note: ! Wind chill temperature is the effect that combines wind speed and temperature, the ADC must measure the wind speed in order to display the wind chill temperature. ! Check the previous ' Before Using the Wind Speed Mode ' section for more detail on Wind Speed Measurement.
