Adjusting the Altimeter

The altimeter can be adjusted manually or using GPS.

To measure altitude with greater accuracy, we recommend that you perform [Adjust] regularly by comparing a reference altitude on a sign or other accurate altitude information with the altitude indicated by the unit.

1 Select [Altimeter] on the [GPS/Sensor] menu, and then press [MENU/ SET].

2	Press 3/4 to select [Adjust], and then press [MENU/SET].
3	Press 3/4 to select the settings, and then press [MENU/SET].

Settings	Description of settings
	Use the GPS information to adjust the altimeter.
	• The [GPS Setting] turns [ON] automatically.
	• The adjusted altitude may show errors of more than approximately d50 m
	(164 feet) depending on the positions of the GPS satellites. When the
[GPS]	error is too large, we recommend that you select [ON] and make manual
	adjustments.
	• Even when GPS positioning is successful, the altitude can be affected by
	satellite positioning and signal conditions. In this case, the altimeter will
	not be adjusted.
	• When [GPS Setting] is set to [OFF], [Adjust] is automatically set to [ON].
	Adjust the altitude manually.
[ON]	Press 2/1 to select the items, and press 3/4 to set.
	• It can be adjusted to between j599 m (–1999 feet) and 8999 m
	(29999 feet).
[OFF]	The adjusted altitude value is restored to the value which is before you
	adjust.
