Suunto 9 Peak Pro

3.16. Altimeter

Suunto 9 Peak Pro uses barometric pressure to measure altitude. To get accurate readings,
you need to define an altitude reference point. This can be your current elevation if you know
the exact value. Alternatively, you can use FusedAlti (see 3.15. FusedAlti™) to set your
reference point automatically.
Set your reference point from the settings under Outdoor.
