altimeterAltimeter profile + altitude moving + weather change
If your ALTIMETER profile is on and the weather changes frequently while you climb in
altitude or go down in altitude, the device will give you incorrect readings.
BarometerBarometer profile + altitude moving
If the BAROMETER profile is on for an extended period of time as you climb in altitude or go
down in altitude, the device assumes that you are standing still and interprets your changes in
altitude as changes in sea level air pressure. It will therefore give you incorrect sea level air
pressure readings.
You’re on the second day of your two-day hike. You realize that you forgot to switch from the
BarometerBarometer
profile to the altimeterAltimeter profile when you started moving in the
morning.You know that the current altitude readings given by your are wrong. So, you hike to
the nearest location shown on your topographic map for which a altitude reference value is
provided. You correct your altitude reference value accordingly. Your altitude readings are
correct again.
7.2. Setting
profiles and reference values
7.2.1. Matching profile to activity
The ALTIMETER profile should be selected when your outdoor activity involves changes in
altitude (e.g. hiking in hilly terrain). The BAROMETER profile should be selected when your
outdoor activity does not involve changes in altitude (e.g.
surfing, sailing). To get the correct
readings, you need to match the profile to the activity. You can either let Suunto Core decide
which profile is most suitable for you at the moment, or you can choose a suitable profile
yourself.
7.2.2. Setting
profiles
To set the profile:
1. In MENU, select ALTI-BARO.
2. Select PROFILE.
3. Choose a suitable
profile.
Alternatively you can set the profile in the ALTI & BARO mode by keeping [View] pressed
down.
7.2.3. Setting reference values
To set the reference value:
1. In MENU, select ALTI-BARO.
2. Select REFERENCE and choose between the ALTIMETER and SEA LEVEL.
3. Set the known reference value using [+] and [- Light] .
