HOW TO CHECK

THE BAROMETRIC PRESSURE

The current and historical barometric pressure is shown on the atmospheric pressure window.

For users staying at a higher altitude such as in the mountain area, sea-level barometric pressure applies. In this case, press and hold [HISTORY] button to enter the altitude compensation

setting mode. Use the ALT ( ) or ALT ( ) button to select from –328 to 8200 feet (whichever appropriate). Press [HISTORY] button to confirm and exit.
