3.3.2. Use

With the Use function you can define whether the air pressure measurement is used
to measure the altitude or to represent the weather conditions.
If you select the Alti option (altimeter), the measured air pressure is displayed as
altitude and all changes of atmospheric pressure are interpreted as changes in altitude.
When the Alti use is selected, the altitude reading of Compass, Hiking and Hiking
Chrono modes changes, but the atmospheric pressure (sea level) in the second row
of the Weather mode remains constant. The absolute pressure changes if it is se-
lected as a shortcut in the third row of Weather mode.
If you select the Baro option (barometer), the measured air pressure is displayed as
weather information and all changes in atmospheric pressure are interpreted as
being due to a change in the weather.
When the Baro use is selected, the altitude reading in the Compass, Hiking and Hiking
Chrono modes remains constant. The atmospheric pressure (sea level and absolute)
in the Weather mode changes.
