V800 measures altitude with an atmospheric air pressure sensor and converts the measured air pressure into
an altitude reading. This is the most accurate way to measure altitude and altitude changes (ascent / descent)
after calibration. Ascended and descended are shown in meters/feet. Uphill/downhill steepness is shown in
percentages and grade, and is only visible during training when using a Speed Sensor Bluetooth® Smart when
cycling.
To make sure that the altitude remains accurate, it needs to be calibrated whenever a reliable reference, such
as a peak or a topographic map, is available or when at sea level. Calibration can also be set to automatic.
This is especially useful if a training session is always started in the same environment. Pressure variations
due to weather conditions, or indoor air-conditioning, may affect altitude readings.
The temperature shown is the temperature of your V800. When wearing V800 on your wrist, your body heat
affects the temperature reading. To get an accurate air temperature reading, take V800 off your wrist for 15-20
minutes.
Altitude is automatically calibrated with GPS, but to get the most accurate altitude readings, it is
recommended to always manually calibrate altitude when you know your current altitude. Manual calibration
can be done in the pre-training view or in the training view quick menu. For more information, See "Quick
Menu" on page 33

TRAINING LOAD
Training load is textual feedback on the strenuousness of a single training session. Training load calculation is
based on the consumption of critical energy sources (carbohydrates and proteins) during exercise. It makes
the loads of different types of training sessions comparable with each other. To enable a more accurate
