6.3.3 Altitude above sea level

Switch on the meter and select the function for the altitude above sea level
measurement as described above.
•
Select the desired unit of measurement as described above.
•
Do not cover or enclose the opening of the pressure sensor on the back of the unit.
This will lead to incorrect measurement results.
Attention !
The altitude measurement depends on the air pressure. The higher your location is above sea
level, the lower the air pressure. For an accurate altitude measurement, it is therefore necessary
to set the device accordingly. For an accurate setting, it is necessary to know the current altitude
above sea level or the current air pressure.
