[. . . ] You realize that you forgot to switch from the BAROMETER profile to the ALTIMETER profile when you started out in the morning. So you hike to the nearest location shown on your topographic map for which a reference altitude value is provided. Your altitude readings are correct again. en 6. 2 Setting reference value and profiles 6. 2. 1 Setting altitude reference value It is really important to provide an accurate altitude reference value. The altitude reference is the exact altitude of where you are currently standing. The more often you insert an altitude reference value, the more precise the current reading will be as the air pressure usually changes depending on your location. Your Suunto Lumi will remind you to set the altitude reference value, if needed! You can set your altitude reference value in MENU. To enter MENU, press [Mode] for 2 seconds - the menu icon in the upper right corner will blink twice. 21 In MENU, press [Down Light] to reach and [Mode] to enter ALTI-BARO. Try to find what your altitude reference value will be before heading out on your journey. All you need to do is input your altitude reference value, and Suunto Lumi will calculate the rest!If the weather is variable, then you will need to frequently set a new reference value. If the weather is stable, then you need to set the value only once a day. 6. 2. 2 Setting profiles You set profiles in MENU. To enter MENU, press [Mode] for 2 seconds - the menu icon in the upper right corner will blink twice. In ALTI-BARO, press [Down Light] to reach and [Mode] to enter PROFILE. It's very important that you use the profile that directly relates to your activity in order to get an accurate reading! 6. 3 Using weather trend indicator The weather trend indicator on the top of the display shows which way the air pressure has changed. The arrow pointing right from center shows values 3 hours prior to the current value, and the line pointing left from center shows values 3 hours prior to that 22 value. This is a useful feature when you are planning to head out for a hike or when you need to look for shelter since it provides an indication of the weather conditions. en Handy tip: Anticipating the weather You're on holiday and you want to anticipate tomorrow's weather, so you switch your Suunto Lumi to the BAROMETER profile for the night. In the morning, you check the weather trend indicator and note that the air pressure remained stable for the last six hours. The weather trend indicator can indicate 9 different patterns in the barometric trend, for example: Situation 3-6 hours ago Situation last 3 hours Dropped heavy (>2 hPa/3hours) Dropping heavily (>2 hPa/3hours) Remained stable Rose heavy (>2 hPa/3hours) Rising heavily (>2 hPa/3hours) Dropping heavily (>2 hPa/3hours) 23 TIP: If the weather trend indicator shows that the air pressure is constantly rising, there is a higher possibility of sunny weather upcoming. Again, if the air pressure is constantly dropping, there is a higher possibility of rainy weather. 6. 4 Activating storm alarm The storm alarm notifies you with a warning alarm when there is a rapid fall of barometric pressure during a 3-hour period - so you better take cover since a storm is approaching!The storm alarm sounds and the alarm symbol flashes on the display for 20 seconds. To enter MENU, press [Mode] for 2 seconds the menu icon in the upper right corner will blink twice. Handy tip: Getting surprised by a storm while hiking You are on a two day hike and you are about to start your second day. [. . . ] When you start to scroll, the corresponding time will be displayed below the scrolling graph. When you start recording your 6th log, the first log erases from the memory while the second log moves up into that first spot. The altitude information is recorded every 30 seconds. en 8. 2 Viewing and resetting log totals Log totals is an interesting function because you can see the combined total of each and every log recorded since the last log totals reset. You can view the various cumulative totals for all of your logs in MENU. [. . . ]
