However, please note again the accuracy of a weather
forecast based on the barometric pressure reading. It is
considered to be about 70-75%.

ABOUT THE ALTITUDE SETTING

1. For monitoring the local barometric pressure

reading, the user needs to select the 0 meter (preset

value) for the altitude setting.
2. For monitoring the Sea Level barometric pressure
reading at certain altitude, the user needs to select the
