3. ALTIMETER MODE [ALTI]
The Altimeter mode provides you with:
• Shows: altitude, altitude difference from start of hike/climb, time, ascent/descent
rate in m/hour or ft/hour.
• Altitude range: from -500 to 9,000 m; from -1,600 to 29,500 ft.
• Resolution: adjustable by the user to 1 m/5 m; 3 ft/16 ft.
• Altitude alarm range up to 9,000 m; 29,500 ft.
• Difference measurement function enables zeroing of Altimeter to follow vertical
progress from start of hike/climb.
• Up to 20 user-definable altitude points can be stored in memory for later viewing
(information stored: # of point stored, altitude, date and time).
Note: The Weather Station Function is discussed in Chapter 5 Barometer Mode.
NOTE! AS ALTITUDE IS CALCULATED BASED ON CHANGES IN BAROMETRIC
PRESSURE, IT IS IMPORTANT TO SET THE REFERENCE ALTITUDE AT REGU-
LAR INTERVALS.
To view the Altimeter mode:
If the triangle arrow is not pointing to ALTI, PRESS the [+] or [-] button until the
triangle arrow is directly above ALTI on the mode bar.
The display will show the following information:
• Field 1 shows the vertical ascent/descent rate.
• Field 2 shows the current altitude.
• Field 3 shows the current time.
• Field 4 shows the altitude difference from zeroing the Altimeter.
