Example of adjusting the altitude manually
(measuring the height from the ground to the roof of a building)
1
Set [ON] in [Adjust] in [Altimeter] on the ground
A
, and then
set the altimeter to 0 m (0 feet).
2
Move from the ground
A
to the roof
B
.
3
Check the altitude measured on the roof
B
.
A
Ground
B
Roof
C
Height of building
(relative altitude)
•
When [Adjust] is set to [GPS], the altitude prior to and after recording can vary according to the
timing at which GPS data is received.
•
Adjustment is not possible when the measured value exceeds the display range. It will display [----].
•
With the displaying of the relative altitude, it may display with negative numbers even if it is higher
than sea level depending on the value adjusted with [Adjust] in [Altimeter].
•
After adjustment, errors of a few metres may still occur. For information on preserving the adjusted
accuracy, read
