5.3 Altimeter Mode - Calibrate the Altimeter
5.4 Altimeter Mode - Set the Altitude Alarm
Before Calibrating the Altimeter
- The altimeter's calibration procedure is designed for use in the normal altimeter mode.
- As the altitude is calculated from the air pressure, the change of air pressure will affect the altitude reading.
- To achieve a more accurate reading, the K2-100 needs to be calibrated from time to time as pressure may change gradually even within hours.
- Calibration of the K2-100 must occur at a known
altitude, such as at sea level or beside an altitude sign pole, as that altitude value has to be entered into the K2-100 during the calibration procedure.
Important: Entering an incorrect altitude in the calibration
procedure will result in a mistaken altitude in the future.
Altitude Calibration Procedures
- Press and hold the [adjust] button for 2 seconds to enter the Altitude Calibration Display.
- Press the [adjust] button once again to enter the calibration sequence, the digits of the middle row of the display and the altitude unit will start flashing.
- Press the [start/stop] button to increase the number; press the [lap/reset] button to decrease the number. Holding down the button changes the number at a higher speed.
- After you set the altitude, press the [mode] button to exit the setting sequence.
- Press the [mode] button once again to return to Altitude Graph Display.
Altitude Alarm 1 and 2
- The K2-100 has two built-in altitude alarms: Altitude Alarm 1 and Altitude Alarm 2 that work independently.
- The Alarm icon will flash and the K2-100 will sound for 10
seconds when you pass through the Altitude Alarm Limit, either below or above the limit.
- When the alarm sounds, press any button to stop the alarm.
- The Altitude Alarms can be set within the range from
-30065ft to 30065 ft (-9164m to 9164m).
- If two Altitude Alarms are set at the same altitude limit value,
the Altitude Alarm 1 will be activated only.
To Set the Altitude Alarm Limit and set the Alarm 1 ON/OFF
- Press and hold the [adjust] button for 2 seconds to enter
Altitude Calibration Display. Press the [adjust] button once again to select the Altitude Alarm 1 Display.
- Press and hold the [adjust] button to enter the Altitude Alarm
Setting Display. In the setting display, the altitude digits and the altitude unit will flash. Press the [start/stop] button to increase the altitude number; press the [lap/reset] button to decrease altitude number. Holding down the button changes the altitude at a higher speed.
- Once you change the altitude alarm, the Altitude Alarm
1 turn ON automatically. After you set the altitude alarm, press the [mode] button to exit the setting sequence.
- Press the [lap/reset] button to turn the alarm ON or OFF.
- Press the [mode] button once again to return to the Altitude
History Graph Display. A dotted line will show on the display to illustrate the Alarm 1's limit.

Altimeter Graph Display
- In the Altimeter Graph Display, the 1st row of the display shows the altitude history graph of the last 24 hours.
The 2nd row of the display shows the altitude and the current temperature.
- The 3rd row of the display shows the current t
ime:

minute and second.
The Altitude History Graph
- The K2-100 stores the altitude values automatically as time goes by.
- The Altitude History Graph of the Altitude Graph Display is plotted by these historical altitude values.
- The X-axis of the history graph is time variable; the Y­axis of the history graph
is altitude variable. The A
ltitude
History Graph makes up 11 rows and 40 columns.
- The memory on the left hand side of the history graph is recorded early than those on the right.
- The scale of the Y-axis of the history graph is changeable, the scale will be changed in order to fit in the altitude values. Check the 'Altitude History Graph Scale' section for more detail on the scale of the history graph.
To Switch among Units
- The K2-100 can display altitude in meter (m) or feet (ft); the K2-100 can display temperature in Celsius ( C) or Fahrenheit ( F).
- Press and hold the [lap/reset] button to change the units as in the units select sequence.
Altitude History Graph Scale
- The scale of the Y-axis of the History Graph is varied for fitting all the alt
itude memory into the grap
h.
- Press the [lap/reset] button once to view the altitude scale information, in the Altitude Graph Display,
- The 'GRAPH SCALE' message will slide out and display for 3 seconds, then the X-axis and Y-axis resolutions will be shown.
- For example, 'X=0:15'00"' implies that the resolution of X-axis is 15 minute per column; at the same time, 'Y=20m' implies that the resolution of Y-axis is 20 meter per row.
- The maximum and the minimum altitudes of the History Graph will be shown on the display a while later.
- For example, 'MAX 151M' implies that the current maximum altitude of the Altitude History Graph is 151 meter. 'MIN 0m' implies the current minimum altitude of the Altitude History Graph is 0 meter.
NOTE:
- The resolution of X-axis of the history graph (time variable) is fixed as 15 minutes.
- The resolution of Y-axis of the history graph (altitude variable) is ranging from 1,2,5,10,20,50,100,200,500,1000 to 2000 meters.

Normal and Relative Altitude
- The K2-100 measures Normal and Relative
Altitudes.
- Normal altitude is the difference between your current altitude and SEA LEVEL. (Assuming that air pressure at sea level is 1013.21mbar).
- Relative altitude is the difference between your current altitude and the altitude of a specific altitude level at which you set the altimeter to 'Zero'.
- To use relative altitude, for example, measure the altitude difference between the starting point and the finish points of a trek.
- To measure the altitude difference, set the K2-100 to Relative Altitude display at the starting point of the trek, the K2-100 will automatically set the altitude to 'Zero'.

User Log Memory
- The K2-100 has a built-in altitude memory function - User
Log Memory (ULM).
- The user can set the starting/finishing time and the sampling interval of the ULM. For example, start the recording of the ULM at the starting point of a trek, stop the recording of the ULM at the finish point of that trek, and set the sampling rate as 30 minutes.
- Check the 'To Set Sampling Rate' section for setting the sampling rate of the ULM.
The Altitude Logbook, Altitude Memory Record and Altitude Memory Segments
- The altitude memory records is the altitude data of each sampling during the ULM recording.
- The altitude memory segment is a group of altitude memory records of one ULM recording
.
- The altimeter logbook stores all altitude memory segments.
The Feature of the User Log Memory
- During the review of the ULM segments or records, the K2-100 shows the following:
1. The date which the memory segment was recorded,
2. The time span of the memory segment,
3. The time which the altitude record was stored,
4. The temperature at which the altitude record was
stored,
5. The scale of the history graph,
6. The max and min altitudes of the history graph,
7. The ascend/descend rate (the difference between two
memory records) of the altitude record,
8. The accumulative ascend (the total ascending) and,
9. The accumulative descend (the total descending) of the
altitude record.

Before Calibrate the Barometer
- The K2-100 was calibrated for you in the factory. For normal
use, you need not to calibrate the Barometer. But for vigorous users, a calibration procedure has been build in the K2-100.
- Before calibrate the Barometer, you must have the ambient barometric pressure, because that pressure value has to be input into the K2-100 during the calibration procedure.
- You may call up the observatory station at the nearest location from your current position to get the ambient barometric pressure.
Important: Inputing an incorrect pressure in the calibration procedure will result in a mistaken pressure reading in the future.
Pressure Calibration Procedures
- Press and hold the [adjust] button for 2 seconds to change the display from the Pressure Graph Display to Barometric Pressure Calibration Display.
- The digits of the middle row of the display and the barometric pressure unit start flashing because it is selected.
- Press the [start/stop] button to increase the number; press the [lap/reset] button to decrease the number. Hold down the button to change the number at a higher speed.
- If you select a wrong barometric pressure unintentionally, press and hold the [adjust] button for 3 seconds to restore the setting to the absolute pressure value.
- After you set the barometric pressure, press the [mode] button to exit the setting and return to Barometric Pressure Graph Display.
- If no button is pressed in the setting display for about 3 minutes, the K2-100 will return to the Barometric Pressure Graph Display.
