7.1 How Alti & Baro works
To get the right readings from
ALTI & BARO
, it is important to understand how
Suunto Core calculates altitude and sea level air pressure.
Suunto Core constantly measures absolute air pressure. Based on this
measurement and reference values, it calculates altitude or sea level air
pressure.
CAUTION:
Keep area around sensor free of dirt and sand. Never insert any
objects into the sensor openings.
