TIP: If the weather trend indicator shows that the air pressure is constantly rising, there is a higher possibility of sunny weather upcoming. Again, if the air pressure is constantly dropping, there is a higher possibility of rainy weather.

6.4 Activating storm alarm

The storm alarm notifies you with a warning alarm when there is a rapid fall of barometric pressure during a 3-hour period - so you better take cover since a storm is approaching! The storm alarm sounds and the alarm symbol flashes on the display for 20 seconds. The storm alarm only works when the BAROMETER profile is selected.

You set the storm alarm in MENU. To enter MENU, press [Mode] for 2 seconds - the menu icon in the upper right corner will blink twice.

In MENU, press [Down Light] to reach and [Mode] to enter ALTI-BARO. In ALTI-BARO, press [Down Light] to reach and [Mode] to enter STORM. Press [Up] or [Down Light] to either turn on or off the storm alarm.

Handy tip: Getting surprised by a storm while hiking

You are on a two day hike and you are about to start your second day. The BAROMETER profile is on and the storm alarm suddenly goes off. The sky is getting dark. You take cover and postpone your hike for a few hours.

6.5 Using altimeter profile

The ALTIMETER profile calculates your altitude based on the altitude reference value.
