SETTING THE HOME ALTITUDE / RECALIBRATING
You can store (set) two different home altitudes in the BC 23.16 STS.
The home altitude is the location from which you (normally) start your trip.
Home altitude 1, for example, could be the altitude of your place of residence.
Home altitude 2, for example, could be the altitude of your hotel while you are on vacation.
Using the home altitude, you can quickly and easily recalibrate your computer before each
trip.
Recalibrating means:
The altitude measurement works by measuring the air pressure.
If the weather changes, the air pressure changes as well.
As air pressure changes, a different (incorrect) altitude is displayed for your starting point.
Your starting point is still at the same altitude, but the change in air pressure causes a
different altitude to be displayed here.
When recalibrating, the set home altitude is applied and the measured air pressure is
back-calculated again based on the set home altitude.
This is how you set the home altitude:
Press and hold the MENU button to open the settings menu.
Switch to Settings using the BIKE button or the ALTI button.
Open the setting using the MENU button.
Scroll to the Settings menu for Altitudes using the BIKE button
or the ALTI button.
Open the Altitude menu using the MENU button.
Scroll to the Settings menu for Home Altitude 1 (or 2) using
the BIKE button or the ALTI button.
Open the setting using the MENU button.
Set home altitude 1 using the BIKE button or the ALTI button.
