● time (second row) ● date (bottom row) ● sea level air pressure (outer rim) 2.1.1 Using stopwatch Suunto Elementum Terra features also a stopwatch. To use the stopwatch: 1. In mode, rotate [A] upwards to enter the stopwatch function. TIME 2.
2.2 Altitude recording mode mode, you can measure and record your cumulative ALTITUDE RECORDING ascent and descent. Press [B] to switch from mode to TIME ALTITUDE RECORDING mode. Rotate [A] to change between positive (+) and negative (-) cumulative altitude readings.
2.2.1 Recording altitude When you are in mode or record altitude measurements, ALTITUDE RECORDING the watch measures altitude changes at an interval of 1, 5 or 10 seconds (depending on vertical speed). TIP: Use mode to see immediate altitude changes. ALTITUDE RECORDING 2.2.2 Setting reference altitude The altitude reading is based on the measurement of the barometric pressure.
TIP: Use the outer rim segment sea level air pressure indicator to set your altitude. 2.2.3 Measuring cumulative ascent/descent To measure your cumulative ascent/descent: 1. Press [A] to start measuring. The icon is shown on the display. 2. Rotate [A] to switch between ascent and descent. 3.

NOTE: Avoid any metal or magnetic fields as they disturb the calibration. The calibration includes two sequences. The sequences follow each other automatically, so read all the instructions before starting the calibration. To calibrate the compass: 1. In view, keep [C] pressed to activate the calibration. COMPASS 2.

NOTE: The device informs 'FAIL' if the calibration does not succeed. If the calibration fails, re-calibrate the compass. TIP: Buckle the device strap, place the support cushion inside the strap and put it in the package so that the device is level. Perform the calibration on a table, which does not contain metal.
Suunto Elementum Terra measures constantly the surrounding air pressure (absolute air pressure). Based on this measurement and current altitude, Suunto Elementum Terra calculates the sea level air pressure and presents it graphically in the outer rim of the display. It is more common to interpret sea level air pressure values.
Again, if the air pressure is constantly dropping, there is a higher possibility of bad weather. 3.3 Automatically switching between measuring altitude and weather changes Unfortunately, it is not possible to measure weather and altitude changes at the same time, as both cause a change in the surrounding air pressure. Suunto...
Elementum Terra senses vertical movement and switches to measuring altitude, when needed. When switching to measuring altitude, the maximum delay for showing the updated altitude value is 59 seconds. When altitude is shown, it is updated with a maximum delay of 10 seconds. The benefit of automatic...
NOTE: If you are at a constant altitude and the weather changes very fast, the watch may interpret the air pressure change as movements in altitude and change the altitude value. USER EXAMPLE: WEATHER CHANGE WHILE SLEEPING You slept overnight at camp and the weather in the morning is worse than yesterday evening.

The measuring interval is 1, 5 or 10 seconds (depending on vertical speed). The sea level air pressure value stays steady and the altitude reading changes according to your vertical movement. NOTE: The barometric trend arrow flattens out when altitude is measured for over a 6-hour period, as the device does not change the sea level air pressure value while measuring altitude.
NOTE: Do not use detergents or solvents of any kind as they might cause damage to the unit. Do not try to repair the unit yourself. Contact an authorized Suunto service, distributor or retailer for any repairs. Use only original Suunto accessories - damage caused by non-original accessories will not be covered by warranty.
