The VX-8DR/DE always displays the "Battery Voltage" and "Current Time" while the
VX-8DR/DE is operating in the "Mono" band mode with the Large characters, the VX-
8DR/DE can display various information provided by internal
sensors. Available selections are "Battery Voltage", "Tempera-
ture", "Audio Wave-form", "Current Barometric Pressure",
"Current Altitude", and "off".
The Barometric Pressure sensor requires calibration of the "offset" parameters, so that
differences in pressure can be used to calculate altitude. This procedure requires that you
have a calibrated barometer, and that you know your current altitude. If you are at sea
level, of course, the latter parameter requires no research.
The Sensor mode is only displayed while the VX-8DR/DE is operating in the
Mono band mode with the Large characters. The internal sensor takes mea-
surements continuously unless the Sensor mode is disabled.
