Getting Incorrect Readings - Suunto Core User Manual

is found on most topographic maps. Your Suunto Core will now give you the
correct readings.
To get the correct altitude readings, you need to enter the sea level air pressure
reference value. The sea level air pressure reference value relevant to your
location can be found in the weather section of the local newspaper or on the
websites of national weather services.
Absolute air pressure is measured constantly
Absolute air pressure + altitude reference = Sea level air pressure
Absolute air pressure + sea level air pressure reference = Altitude
Changes in local weather conditions will affect altitude readings. If local weather
changes often, it is advisable to reset the current altitude reference value
frequently, preferably before starting your journey when the reference values
are available. If local weather is stable, you do not need to set reference values.
