[. . . ] 17 3. 3 Automatically switching between measuring altitude and weather changes . . 23 24 24 24 25 26 27 27 28 29 29 en 3 1 GETTING STARTED In Suunto Elementum Terra there are two modes: TIME and ALTITUDE RECORDING mode. Press [C] to activate it. In TIME mode the watch functions as a normal watch. ALTITUDE RECORDING mode includes altitude measuring and recording functions. [. . . ] The altitude reading remains steady, and if the weather changes, you will see changes in the sea level air pressure reading. The barometric trend arrow changes if the change is significant (2 hPa or more in 3 hours). 18 NOTE: If you are at a constant altitude and the weather changes very fast, the watch may interpret the air pressure change as movements in altitude and change the altitude value. USER EXAMPLE: WEATHER CHANGE WHILE SLEEPING You slept overnight at camp and the weather in the morning is worse than yesterday evening. In the morning, the barometric trend arrow is still horizontal but the sea level air pressure shown on the outer rim is lower. Based on this, you can assume that the weather today is not as good as yesterday because the sea level air pressure has dropped. However, the change has been slow, as it has not affected the barometric trend arrows. en zZz 3. 5 Moving in altitude If you are moving in altitude (more than 5 meters of vertical movement within 3 minutes), the watch interprets all pressure changes as movements in altitude. 19 The measuring interval is 1, 5 or 10 seconds (depending on vertical speed). The sea level air pressure value stays steady and the altitude reading changes according to your vertical movement. NOTE: The barometric trend arrow flattens out when altitude is measured for over a 6-hour period, as the device does not change the sea level air pressure value while measuring altitude. USER EXAMPLE: CORRECTING ALTITUDE VALUE You are hiking uphill and the weather is getting clear. The sea level air pressure on the outer rim is the same as before starting the hike upwards. The correct sea level air pressure is calculated and shown on the outer rim of the display. The barometric trend arrow remains the same as before starting the hike. 20 4 CARE AND MAINTENANCE Handle the unit with care ­ do not knock or drop it.
