This can be used as a rough indication to understand the	1013hPa
trend of weather change during mountain climbing or
camping, etc. With the most current atmospheric pressure as	＋10 hPa	
a reference, it is displayed on the graph within the range of
j10 hPa¢ to _10 hPa¢. (Atmospheric pressure out of range	
cannot be displayed in details)	－10 hPa

¢ hPa (hectopascal) is a unit used to represent atmospheric

pressure.

•Atmospheric pressure changes in accordance with the movement of the atmosphere.

–When the atmospheric pressure rises: Weather tends to recover

–When the atmospheric pressure drops: Weather tends to worsen

•If you leave the [GPS Setting] set to [ON], the atmospheric pressure will be measured even when the power is off.

∫About the measured altitude and atmospheric pressure

•Altitude value may show errors depending on the change in atmospheric pressure compared to areas such as locations with altimeter reference signs. Adjust frequently with [Altimeter Adjust].

•Altitude announced onboard an airplane is measured using the atmospheric pressure surrounding the airplane. It does not match the altitude actually measured inside the airplane.

•Even if the unit is fixed at a constant altitude, the measured altitude may fluctuate due to the effects of change in atmospheric pressure.

•Altitude and atmospheric pressure may not be measured

accurately in the following cases:

– When there is a significant change in weather conditions

– When there is a movement with a rapid change in altitude

–When this unit is wet (after using underwater, etc.)¢2

–When pressure is applied to the front or rear of this unit¢1

–When closing the side door¢2

¢1 Hold this unit as shown in the figure when measuring.

¢2 It will adapt to the ambient atmospheric pressure within a few minutes, and display correct measurement values.
