3.2.1 ACTIVATING THE ALTIMETER

The altimeter converts the measured barometric pressure to an altitude reading. Due to the fact
that both the altimeter and the barometer use barometric pressure, you can activate only one of
these features at a time. Therefore, you must activate your altimeter to use it. It is recommended
that you calibrate the altimeter after activating it. For further information, see page 41.
The wrist unit records altimeter information automatically and continuously in a two-week
