Note: For an exact measurement, it is necessary to adjust the barometer to the local relative
air pressure (related to elevation above sea level)
. Ask for the current air pressure of the home area
(local weather service, the World Wide Web, calibrated instruments in public
buildings, airport). The default reference pressure value is 29.91 inHg.
The relative air pressure can be manually set to another value within the range
of 27.17 to 31.90 inHg (920 to 1080 hPa) for a better reference.
