    If GPS is not active, sunrise and sunset times are based on the last recorded GPS data. 3.2.1 Getting correct readings Suunto Ambit3 Peak constantly measures absolute air pressure using the built-in pressure sensor. Based on this measurement and reference values, it calculates altitude or sea level air pressure.
  • Page 16 Never insert any objects into the sensor openings. If your outdoor activity requires accurate sea level air pressure or altitude, you need to calibrate your Suunto Ambit3 Peak by entering either your current altitude or the current sea level air pressure.
  • Page 17 Changes in local weather conditions will affect altitude readings. If local weather changes often, it is advisable to reset the current altitude reference value frequently, preferably before starting your journey when the reference values are available. As long as the local weather stays stable, you do not need to set reference values.
