[. . . ] You can proceed and follow the instructions, setting the altimeter, provided in the section below. If the Altitude is not known, you can set the sea level pressure in the Barometric mode. Setting the Sea Level Pressure will adjust the altimeter to the current altitude within approximately ten meters or 30 ft. For information regarding the effect of air temperature on altitude measurement refer to the last section of Chapter 3. Information on the current sea level pressure can be obtained through newspapers, local news and radio weather reports, the local airport facility or through the Internet under local weather. In the altimeter main mode (mode indicator below ALTI), Press the [SELECT] button for 2 seconds. In the top field, the text RE (indicating reference altitude) displays. In the bottom field the half-moon shaped use indicator under the indicator bar will begin to flash (Altimeter-Barometer use feature) and the text USE will appear. Press either the [ON OFF] or [QUICK] button to toggle the icon to the position under ALTI (for altimeter use) or BARO (for barometer use). At the desired preference, press the [SELECT] button to move to the next setting. In the middle field, the reference altitude value will begin to flash. Press either the [ON OFF] button to scroll the value up or the [QUICK] button to scroll down. At the desired reference altitude, press the [SELECT] button to move to the next setting (Altitude Alarm setting). Press either the [ON OFF] or the [QUICK] button to toggle between the ON and OFF for the Altitude Alarm. 19 NOTE: An activated altitude alarm is indicated with an alarm symbol. At the desired setting, press the [SELECT] button to move to the next setting. Press either the [ON OFF] button to scroll the value up or the [QUICK] button to scroll down. At the desired altitude, press the [SELECT] button to view the setup preferences for confirmation or for additional changes, or press the [MODE] button to accept the changes and exit. NOTE: You can return to main ALTI display by pressing [MODE] during any of the steps 1-9. Once you have set the reference altitude of the current location to the known altitude, the Observer will also correct the sea level pressure, and therefore, it will not be necessary for this function to be set. NOTE: Setup mode will automatically be released if left idle for more than one minute. LOGBOOK MODE Starting and Stopping a Logbook Recording In the main altimeter mode, a logbook recording starts by performing two short presses of the [ON OFF] button. An ongoing recording is indicated with flashing LOG text in the bottom field. [. . . ] When the unit is temperature compensated, the temperature of the unit itself does not affect the altitude measurement of the unit. The unit can be worn on your wrist or placed on a table - it will in either case give you the proper altitude reading providing the weather conditions have not changed. All Suunto Observers are temperature compensated within the range -5 to 140 ° F / 20 to +60 ° C. Refer to Chapter 3, Effect of Air Temperature on Altitude Measurement. [. . . ]
