Description of settings

[GPS]

Use the GPS information to adjust the altimeter.

The [GPS Setting] turns [ON] automatically.

The adjusted altitude may show errors of more than approximately

d50 m (164 feet) depending on the positions of the GPS satellites.

When altitude adjusted based on successful positioning has an error

larger than this, we recommend that you select [ON] and make

manual adjustments.

Even when GPS positioning is successful, the altitude can be

affected by satellite positioning and signal conditions. In this case,

the altimeter will not be adjusted.

When [GPS Setting] is set to [OFF], [Adjust] is automatically set to

[ON].

[ON]

Adjust the altitude manually.

Press 2/1 to select the items, and press 3/4 to set.

It can be adjusted to between j599 m (–1999 feet) and 8999 m

(29999 feet).

[OFF]

The adjusted altitude value is restored to the value which is before you

adjust.
