[. . . ] SETTING THE ALTIMETER In setting the Altimeter, there are two processes that can be performed: The Reference Altitude (known altitude at the current location); and The Altitude Alarm (signals you when a certain programmed altitude is reached). IMPORTANT NOTE: In order to set the altitude in the Altimeter mode, the altitude must be known. That information can be found by utilizing a topographical map, identifying the current location with the associated 18 altitude marked. You can proceed and follow the instructions, setting the altimeter, provided in the section below. If the Altitude is not known, you can set the sea level pressure in the Barometric mode. Refer to Chapter 4, Setting the Sea Level Pressure. Setting the Sea Level Pressure will adjust the altimeter to the current altitude within approximately ten meters or 30 ft. For information regarding the effect of air temperature on altitude measurement refer to the last section of Chapter 3. Information on the current sea level pressure can be obtained through newspapers, local news and radio weather reports, the local airport facility or through the Internet under local weather. In the altimeter main mode (mode indicator below ALTI), Press the [SELECT] button for 2 seconds. In the top field, the text RE (indicating reference altitude) displays. It is not possible to view the individual values of the logbook. 20 NOTE: You can be in other modes while recording. To indicate logbook-recording activity, the Observer will display the text LOG flashing in the bottom field. How to view in the Logbook Mode In the Altimeter mode, press the [SELECT] button once to enter this sub mode. The first screen displays for 7 seconds. Thereafter, the screens will increment (2-5) displaying at four-second intervals. 3. 2): The top field displays the year; The middle field displays the text LO (LO = logbook) with the current logbook number flashing; and The bottom field displays, the month and day of which the particular logbook was recorded. To the left of the date, is the text Log. To view previous logs captured, press the [QUICK] button to scroll down. 3. 3) shows the ascent information for the particular logbook that is being viewed. The top field displays the average ascent rate during the event. The middle field displays the total vertical ascent. [. . . ] The unit can be worn on your wrist or placed on a table - it will in either case give you the proper altitude reading providing the weather conditions have not changed. All Suunto Observers are temperature compensated within the range -5 to 140 ° F / 20 to +60 ° C. Refer to Chapter 3, Effect of Air Temperature on Altitude Measurement. Why is the compass not working correctly? [. . . ]
