The various measuring modes in relation to pressure are displayed on the
lower block. In order to access a measuring mode, select (with the help
of the

button) the lower block (it flashes), then use the

button to

change the display on the block and switch from one measuring mode to
another.

Selecting the unit of measurement in relation to altitude

The instrument features 2 units of measurement in relation to altitude:
m (metres) and ft (feet).

To change the unit of measurement, select the lower block (it flashes),
then keep the

button down; when the desired unit appears, release the

button to confirm your choice.

Calibration of the altitude

The instrument calculates altitude by using air pressure. It is
therefore quite normal for the altitude to change when the air
pressure changes. For this reason the instrument needs to be
calibrated as often as possible.

Stabilization of the altitude: each time it is turned on, the instrument
carries out an automatic calibration based on the drift of the weather
driven trend, this in order to avoid displaying an altitude that is too far
off. This calibration does not occur when the data is accessed
instantaneously.
