    TABLE OF CONTENTS ALTIMETER Because the ALTIMETER system in the Axis relies on barometric pressure for its measurements, it is critical that you regularly calibrate the unit to a known altitude. For maximum accuracy, daily calibration is a must. If you are using the unit during times of changeable weather, the unit may need to be calibrated more often.
