4.Press MODE (NEXT) to advance to the next setting option.

5.Press SET (DONE) to finish.

NOTE: The altimeter will display in either FT (feet) or M (meters) depending on which display unit you chose in Time Mode.

See page 14 for information on setting units of measurement.

ATTENTION: Your altimeter is sensitive to weather changes! Sudden changes in barometric pressure can change your altimeter reading by +/- 100 meters even if you have stayed in the same location. If possible, re-calibrate to a known altitude when drastic pressure changes occur.

You only need to calibrate barometer OR altimeter, since they rely on the same pressure. See Calibration Mode on page 36 for more information.

“Before I curl into my sleeping bag I note the current altitude and baro- metric pressure. In the few hours I sleep if I see a change in altitude or barometric pressure I can get an idea of the coming weather patterns.

As it is an inverse relationship between altitude and barometric pressure, if I wake at the same or lower elevation I can be confident

the atmospheric pressure has remained constant. If I rise to a higher E altitude I need to be aware as there is a chance a low pressure is moving in.”
