ALTImETER and bAROmETER modes

About the ALTImETER-bAROmETER
The altimeter measures altitude in either metres or feet. The device is equipped with
an intelligent barometer that determines altitude by the built-in sensor with the advanced
barometer compensation technology. It also distinguishes the differences between pressure
caused by the changes in physical altitudes and pressure caused by weather conditions.
This eliminates discrepancies and makes the altimeter more accurate than most of the
average devices available on the market. Maximum altitude and instant sea level pressure
readings are also provided.

How to set and reset the ALTImETER
The altitude is automatically measured from the moment you switch on the device.
It will supply you with both barometer readings as well as the maximum sea level

pressure readings.
