3.3.2. Use
With the Use function you can define whether the air pressure measurement is used to
measure the altitude or to represent the weather conditions.
If you select Alti (altimeter), the measured air pressure is displayed as altitude and all
changes in atmospheric pressure are interpreted as changes in altitude.
When the
Alti
use is selected, the altitude reading of Compass, Hiking and Chrono
modes changes, but the atmospheric pressure (sea level) in the second row of the
Weather mode remains constant. The absolute pressure changes if it is selected as a
shortcut on the third row of the Weather mode.
If you select Baro (barometer), the measured air pressure is displayed as weather
information and all changes in atmospheric pressure are interpreted as being due to a
change in the weather.
When
Baro
is selected, the altitude reading in the Compass, Hiking and Chrono modes
remains constant. The atmospheric pressure (sea level and absolute) in the Weather
mode changes.
