INTRODUCTION

Thank you for your purchase of the Altimeter / Barometer (EB833). Designed to be durable, this unit is constructed for rugged outdoor use.

The EB833 has three primary functions.

1.Altimeter

-Functions related to altitude measurement.

2.Barometer and Weather Forecast Device

-Functions related to weather forecasts and atmospheric pressure.

3.Clock, Calendar, and Count-Up Timer

-Functions related to time, date, and count-up timer.

An altimeter, the EB833 will measure and display current altitude readings, changes between two elevations, and maximum and minimum altitudes. The unit stores altitude data and can indicate changes in altitude for a 12-hour period or calculates the total accumulation of elevation ascents over a given period of time. In addition, the user can set an altitude alarm that will activate when specified elevations are reached.

The EB833 is also a barometer. It measures and displays current pressure readings, and provides a barometric history and a bar graph showing barometric changes over a 12-hour period.

A weather forecast device, the EB833 uses barometric information to make forecasts as sunny, slightly cloudy, cloudy, and rainy. It also has a built-in thermometer.

As a timepiece, this unit functions as a clock / calendar, daily alarm, and count-up timer.

To optimize the usefulness of this device, be sure to read this instruction manual carefully before use, and keep it handy for future reference.
