3.2.1 Getting correct readings
Suunto Traverse 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.
CAUTION: Keep the area around the sensor free of dirt and
sand.
Never insert any objects into the sensor openings.
If you are not recording an outdoor activity, and your activity requires
accurate sea level air pressure or altitude, you need to calibrate your
Suunto Traverse by entering either your current altitude or the current
sea level air pressure.
When recording an activity, Suunto Traverse uses Suunto FusedAlti by
default. This means that altitude readings will be corrected
automatically using FusedAlti together with altitude and seal level
pressure calibration. For more information, see
3.13 FusedAlti
