[. . . ] When the Alti use is selected, the altitude reading of Compass, Hiking and Chrono modes changes, but the atmospheric pressure (sea level) in the second row of the Weather mode remains constant. the absolute pressure changes if it is selected as a shortcut on the third row of the Weather mode. If you select Baro (barometer), the measured air pressure is displayed as weather information and all changes in atmospheric pressure are interpreted as being due to a change in the weather. When Baro is selected, the altitude reading in the Compass, Hiking and Chrono modes remains constant. the atmospheric pressure (sea level and absolute) in the Weather mode changes. for example, on a hiking trip, you can select Alti for the day to see how high you have climbed. When you camp for the night, you can change the use to Baro to make sure that the weather changes do not catch you by surprise. In the function menu, scroll to Use with the arrow buttons and press Suunto. Change the content of the field with the arrow buttons and press Suunto. Altitude/Sealevel In order for the altimeter to function correctly you need to set the reference altitude. this means that you set an altitude reading that is equal to the real altitude. Set the reference altitude in a place where you know the altitude, for example, with the help of a topographical map. Suunto X6hr has a factory set reference altitude that corresponds to the standard barometric pressure (03 hPa/9. 90inHg at sea level). If you do not know your current altitude no the correct sea level pressure, you can have an estimate of your altitude by setting the sea level pressure to 03hPa/9. 90inHg. In the function menu, scroll to Altitude with the arrow buttons and press Suunto. With the arrow buttons, set the reference altitude in the field to match the altitude of your current location and press Suunto. If you do not know your altitude, you can use the air pressure to help determine the altitude. to do this, select the Weather mode and set the current sea level air pressure. You can find out the sea level air pressure, for example, from the airport, weather station or Internet weather pages. Compass the compass menu includes functions for either calibrating the compass or setting its declination. Calibrating the compass You should calibrate the compass if it does not seem to work well, for example, when it displays the wrong compass bearing or the bearing changes too slowly. You should 34 also calibrate the compass after replacing the battery.
