Calibration
You can calibrate the altimeter and compass from the
Calibration page.
Calibrate the altimeter by entering information or
letting the Colorado determine the elevation and
pressure. The Colorado relies on barometric pressure
to determine elevation, and the pressure at any given
elevation can uctuate. You must know the elevation
(from a map point or other reliable data) or the pressure
(calibrated to sea level) for your current location.
Calibrate the compass by following the on-screen
directions.
To calibrate the altimeter select Shortcuts >
Setup > Calibration > Altimeter.
1. If you know the elevation, select Yes and enter
the information. Select No if you do not know the
elevation.
2. If you know the pressure select Yes. Select No if
you do not know the pressure.
3. A “Calibration Completed” or “Calibration
Failed“ message appears after calibration is
completed.
