5.3 Absolute and relative atmospheric pressure
• Press PRESSURE/ALTIDUE button inside the battery compartment to select between
the relative (SEA LEVEL) or absolute (LOCAL) pressure and the local altitude
(meter/feet)
• Absolute pressure is the actual atmospheric pressure measured by the main unit.
• Relative pressure is referred as sea level’s pressure and has to be adjusted first to
your local altitude.
• You can set the relative atmospheric pressure directly (recommended) or via the
local altitude.
5.3.1 Setting of relative atmospheric pressure (recommended)
• Ask for the present atmospheric pressure of your home area (local weather service,
www, optician, calibrated instruments in public buildings, airport).
• Press PRESSURE/ALTITUDE button inside the battery compartment until SEA LEVEL
appears.
• Press and hold PRESSURE/ALTITUDE button and the display will be flashing. Press ▲
or ▼ button inside the battery compartment to adjust the desired value.
• Confirm with PRESSURE/ALTITUDE button.
5.3.2 Setting of local altitude

you will enter fast mode.
• Press PRESSURE/ALTIDUTE button inside the battery compartment to confirm the
setting.
5.4 Conversion of the measuring unit
• Press and hold UNIT button.
• HPa/mBar flashes on the display.
• Press ▲ or ▼ button inside the battery compartment to select the measuring unit
HPa/mBar, inHG or mmHG for the atmospheric pressure.
• Confirm with UNIT button.
• Press PRESSURE/ALTITUDE button inside the battery compartment until the local
altitude (meter/feet) appears.
• Press and hold UNIT button. Meter or Feet is flashing.
• Press ▲ or ▼ button inside the battery compartment to select the measuring unit
Meter or Feet.
• Confirm with UNIT button.
5.5 History values
