PROGRAMMING STEPS

1.

   Start in 

BAROMETER

 mode.

2.

  

PRESS & HOLD

 the 

S5

 key to enter setting sequence.

3.

   Adjust current weather using the 

S1

 and 

S2

 keys.

NOTE:

 There are four different Icons for weather. 

SUNNY

PARTLY

 

CLOUDY

CLOUDY

 and 

RAIN

. Choose the icon 

which most closely matches the weather at the present time. 
The icon will change to indicate an estimate of what the 
weather will be like for the next 6-hours.

4.

   Advance to 

BAROMETER (BARO

) display using 

QUICK 

PRESSES 

of the 

S4

 key. 

NOTE:

 Do not randomly adjust the barometric pressure 

setting of the watch. Inaccurate setting of the barometric 
pressure may result in inaccurate altimeter and weather 
readings. If you are not certain of the proper use of this 
function, it is better to leave this variable at its factory 
setting. The Mean Sea Level barometric pressure may be 
adjusted if desired to achieve the highest levels of accuracy.  

5. 

   Adjust 

SEA LEVEL BAROMETRIC PRESSURE 

using 

S1

 and 

S2

 

keys.  Do not adjust your absolute barometric pressure.

6.

   Exit the barometer setting sequence using the 

S5

 key. 

The Alterra and Aerial are equipped with a highly sensitive barometer/weather station. The 

BAROMETER

 measures the Absolute Barometric Pressure and calculates the Barometric Pressure 

corrected to Mean Sea Level (MSL). Barometric pressure may be displayed in either Inches of Mercury 
(inHg) or Millibar/HectoPascals (mbar/hpa).  

SECONDARY BAROMETER SCREENS

There are 4 secondary 

BAROMETER

 display options accessed by 

QUICK PRESSES

 of the 

S1

 key.
