Calibration
Altimeters calculate altitude on the basis of air pressure. For this
reason, any altimeter has to be recalibrated prior to use owing to
daily fluctuations in air pressure. The altimeter has to be reset at
a known altitude (e.g. at home, at a railway station, mountain cottage,
etc.) to this altitude.
Turning on Digital Display
Press and hold the Cross and Shield for 4 seconds until information
appears on the display. Either the temperature or the altitude will
appear depending on how long the display was last set. To toggle
between Altitude and Temperature modes, press the Cross and Shield.
