Before Calibrate the Barometer
- The
K2-100
was calibrated for you in the factory. For normal
use, you need not to calibrate the Barometer. But for vigorous
users, a calibration procedure has been build in the
K2-100
.

- You may call up the observatory station at the nearest
location from your current position to get the ambient
barometric pressure.

will
result
in
a mistaken pressure reading in
the
future.
Pressure Calibration Procedures
-
Press and hold the [adjust] button for 2 seconds to change
the display from the Pressure Graph Display to Barometric
Pressure Calibration Display.
-
The digits of the middle row of the display and the barometric
pressure unit start flashing because it is selected.
-
Press the [start/stop] button to increase the number; press
the [lap/reset] button to decrease the number. Hold down the
button
to
change the number at a higher speed.
-
If you select a wrong barometric pressure unintentionally,
press and hold the [adjust] button for 3 seconds to restore
the setting to the absolute pressure value.
-
After you set the barometric pressure, press the [mode]
button to exit the setting and return to Barometric Pressure
Graph Display.
- If no
button is pressed
in the setting display for about 3
minutes, the
K2-100
will return to the Barometric Pressure
Graph Display.

Implication of the Pressure History Graph
-
In general, a rise trend in the Pressure History Graph
may forecast good weather ahead.
-
A steady trend in the Pressure History Graph has the
possibility to have steady weather ahead.
- A fall
ing
trend in the Pressure History Graph may
predict
bad weather ahead.
