...the altitude keeps changing even if I am not moving?

The cycling computer converts measured air pressure into an altitude reading. This is why changes in the weather may cause changes in altitude readings.

…the altitude readings are inaccurate?

Your altimeter may show faulty altitude if it is exposed to external interference like strong wind or air conditioning. In this case, try to calibrate the altimeter. If the readings are constantly inaccurate, dirt may be blocking the air pressure channels. In this case, send the cycling computer to a Polar Service Center.

...Memory full is displayed?

The message appears during training if no memory space is left for the training session. In that case, the cycling computer will overwrite the oldest training file. To save the training file for a longer period of time, transfer it to Polar web service at www.polarpersonaltrainer.com. Then delete the file from the cycling computer. For more information, see Deleting Training Files (page 17).
