Meade Instruments TE688W - Manual (Page 11)

The unit is designed to measure pressure changes at your
specific location, when LOCAL barometric pressure is selected.
Information for programming your unit, with either Altitude or
Sea Level values, may be obtained from GPS readings, online
from the Internet, etc.
SEA LEVEL barometric pressure provides you with
information about pressure changes at lower elevations in your
surrounding area. The SEA LEVEL pressure value can be set
to match your local metro area weather information. (Sources –
local TV or radio station, etc.)
SETTING INITIAL PRESSURE PARAMETERS
IMPORTANT: Allow the unit to set without touching ANY
buttons for about 6-8 minutes during the main unit initial set up.
This will give the unit time to synchronize with remotes,
stabilize pressure readings and settle with default settings.
