3.3.1 ACTIVATING THE BAROMETER

Because barometric pressure decreases considerably when the altitude increases, it is
recommended that you use the barometer when you stay at the same altitude for a longer period
of time, for example, when camping overnight.
It is recommended that you calibrate the barometer after activating it. For further information,
see the following page.
The wrist unit records barometer information automatically and continuously in a two-week
