Weather mode changes.
Select the correct use according to what you want to measure. For example, on a
hiking trip, you can select the Alti use for the day to see how high you have climbed.
When you camp for the night, you can change the use to Baro to make sure that the

In order for the altimeter to function correctly you need to set the reference altitude.
This means that you set an altitude reading that is equal to the real altitude. Set the
reference altitude in a place where you know the altitude, for example, with the help
of a topographical map. X6
to the standard barometric pressure (1013 hPa/29.90inHg at sea level). If you know
neither your current altitude nor the correct sea level pressure, you can have an
estimate of your altitude by setting the sea level pressure to 1013hPa/29.90inHg.
In Weather mode, Altitude is replaced with Sealevel. This function is set in the same
way as Altitude.
To set the reference altitude, follow these steps:
1. To access the function menu, press Suunto in the main display.
