Altimeter Setup
The Altimeter Setup Page allows
you to setup the altimeter to
self-calibrate each time you
turn on the unit, to function as
a barometer, or to manually
calibrate when you have accurate
elevation or pressure data.
To set up the altimeter:
1. On the Setup Menu Page, highlight the
Altimeter icon, and press Enter.
2. Highlight the Auto Calibration field, and press
Enter to select from On or Off. When on,
elevation is corrected by the GPS.
3. Highlight the Barometer Mode field, and press
Enter to select Variable Elevation (used
when moving) or Fixed Elevation (used when
stationary, allowing the altimeter to function
as a standard barometer). Trip data is not
recorded when in Fixed Elevation mode.
4. Select a method of saving data from the
Pressure Trend Recording field, and press
Enter. When you select Save Always, the
pressure is recorded every 15 minutes, even
when the unit is turned off. For this reason
be certain to return this setting back to Save
When Power On when removing batteries or
storing the unit with batteries for prolonged
periods. Install fresh batteries when the
“Battery Low” message appears.
