ALTIMETER MODE [ALTI] The Altimeter mode provides you with: · Shows: altitude, altitude difference from start of hike/climb, time, ascent/descent rate in m/hour or ft/hour. · Altitude range: from -500 to 9, 000 m; from -1, 600 to 29, 500 ft. · Difference measurement function enables zeroing of Altimeter to follow vertical progress from start of hike/climb. · Up to 20 user-definable altitude points can be stored in memory for later viewing (information stored: # of point stored, altitude, date and time). Note: The Weather Station Function is discussed in Chapter 5 Barometer Mode. AS ALTITUDE IS CALCULATED BASED ON CHANGES IN BAROMETRIC PRESSURE, IT IS IMPORTANT TO SET THE REFERENCE ALTITUDE AT REGULAR INTERVALS. To view the Altimeter mode: If the triangle arrow is not pointing to ALTI, PRESS the [+] or [-] button until the triangle arrow is directly above ALTI on the mode bar. The display will show the following information: · Field 1 shows the vertical ascent/descent rate. · Field 4 shows the altitude difference from zeroing the Altimeter. 14 Note: If the user does not press any button for 20 hours in the [ALTI] mode, the unit will exit this mode and return to the main TIME mode. SETTING THE ALTIMETER Four settings can be performed when in [ALTI] mode: 1. Zeroing the altitude for altitude difference measurement (2nd display). Note: If no buttons are pushed within one minute after entering the setup, the Escape203 automatically exits the setup mode and the values displayed at this time will remain at the current settings. The factory or default setting equals a pressure of 1013. 5 hPa and an altitude of 0 meters. Setting the Reference Altitude Setting the unit using reference altitude leads to the most accurate altimeter readings. Beware that adjusting the reference altitude will affect the Barometer readings since sea level pressure and reference altitude are inter-related. Field 3 displays "REF" and in Field 2 the altitude reading will begin to flash. PRESS either the [+] button or the [-] button to numerically scroll up or down until the desired altitude is displayed. PRESS the Center button to accept the choice and move to next menu Zeroing the Altitude. 15 Note: It is not necessary to set or change each menu item. You can PRESS the Center button until the display menu item to adjust flashes. Once the desired changes has been made, PRESS and HOLD the Center button for 2 seconds to exit the setup mode. Then PRESS the Center button (once) until the text "dIFF" appears in Field 2 and "SEt" in Field 3. [. . . ] Viewing the Pressure and Temperature Information Scrolling through these displays will show you the development of the barometric pressure and temperature during the last 24 hours. The first display begins with information of the most current situation and it moves toward the situation recorded 24 hours ago. The information shown in these displays is temperature, sea level pressure, specific time of the measurement and absolute pressure. 28 The pressure and temperature information for the last 24 hours can be scrolled through in intervals of 30 minutes for the last three hours and thereafter in 3-hour intervals. Note: If the user does not press any button for 20 hours while viewing these memory displays, the unit will exit this mode and return to the main TIME mode. [. . . ]
