HOW TO CHECK
THE BAROMETRIC PRESSURE
The current and historical barometric pressure is shown on the
atmospheric pressure window.
For users staying at a higher altitude such as in the mountain
area, sea-level barometric pressure applies. In this case, press
and hold [HISTORY] button to enter the altitude compensation
setting mode. Use the ALT (
from -328 feet (-100 meters) to 8,200 feet (2,500 meters)

The BAR898HGA requires entry of elevation in meters not feet.
To convert feet to meters multiply feet by .30.
To determine your location elevation, please either contact
your local library, TV/radio weather forecaster, or via Internet at
http://www.worldatlas.com/aatlas/infopage/elvation.htm.
The atmospheric pressure can be displayed in mb/hPa or inHg.
The pressure unit is selected on the atmospheric pressure slide
switch inside the battery compartment.
If you want to check the pressure history for a particular hour
during the past 24 hours, press the [HISTORY] button. Each
press on the button will go back by an hour. Holding down the
button will increase the value rapidly.
LOW BATTERY INDICATION
When it is time to replace batteries, the respective low battery
