Select the correct use according to what you want to measure. For example, on a
hiking trip, you can select
Alti
for the day to see how high you have climbed. When you
camp for the night, you can change the use to
Baro
to make sure that the weather
changes do not catch you by surprise.
To select either Altimeter or Barometer use:
1. In the Function menu, scroll to
Use
with the arrow buttons and press
Suunto
.
The Alti/Baro field is activated.
2. Change the content of the field with the arrow buttons and press
Suunto
. You then
return to the Function menu.
3.3.3. Altitude/Sealevel
In order for the altimeter to function correctly you need to set the reference altitude.
This means that you set an altitude reading that is equal to the real altitude. Set the
reference altitude in a place where you know the altitude, for example, with the help of
a topographical map. Suunto X6
HR
has a factory set reference altitude that corresponds
to the standard barometric pressure (1013 hPa/29.90inHg at sea level). If you do not
know your current altitude no the correct sea level pressure, you can have an estimate
of your altitude by setting the sea level pressure to 1013hPa/29.90inHg.
In the Weather mode, Altitude is replaced with
Sealevel
. This function is set in the
same way as Altitude.
To set the reference altitude:
1. In the Function menu, scroll to
Altitude
with the arrow buttons and press
Suunto
.
2. With the arrow buttons, set the reference altitude in the field to match the altitude of
your current location and press
Suunto
. You return to the Function menu.
If you do not know your altitude, you can use the air pressure to help determine the
altitude. To do this, select the Weather mode and set the current sea level air pressure.
