Measuring Altitude

speed is also displayed by using the variometer feature.

Important:
If the atmospheric pressure changes due to weather conditions or the temperature at the measurement location,
the measurement results and the actual altitude may differ.
❏ If you know the altitude due to signs posted in the area and so on, you can correct the altitude manually.
"Calibrating the Altitude" on page 83

❏ If you do not know the altitude, adjust the reference value, and then receive GPS satellite signals to correct the
altitude.
