Suunto S6 manual Altitude/Sealevel

When you select Baro, the altitude reading in the Compass, Skiing and SkiChrono modes remains constant. The atmospheric pressure (sea level and absolute) in the Weather mode changes.

Select the correct use according to what you want to measure. For example, on a skiing trip, you can select Alti for the day to see how high you have climbed. When you camp for the night, you can change to Baro to make sure that the weather changes do not catch you by surprise.

To select either Altimeter or Barometer use:

1.In the Function menu, scroll to Use with the arrow buttons and press Suunto. The Alti/Baro field is activated.

2.Change the content of the field with the arrow buttons and press Suunto. You then return to the Function menu.

Set the refer- ence altitude in a place where you know the altitude, for example, with the help of a topographical map. Suunto S6 has a factory set reference altitude, which corre- sponds to the standard barometric pressure (1013 hPa/
