Proceed to the next step.
4.
Rotate the compass clockwise until it reads exactly 270° and stop for at least 3 seconds. If
you overshoot this reading, slowly rotate counterclockwise until it reads exactly 270°.
Proceed to the next step.
5.
Rotate the compass clockwise until it reads exactly 0° again, and stop for at least 3 seconds.
6.
Once calibrated, the CAL icon will disappear and the unit will return to normal mode. If this
does not occur, please repeat this procedure again. If successful, the unit will return to
normal mode.

Normal Mode
The default normal mode display is Time and Date. This mode consumes the least amount of energy,
and will always return to the Time and Date mode after 30 seconds of inactivity to save battery life.
Normal Modes:
Time/Date -> Altitude/Temperature -> High Altitude -> Measured Barometer/Sea-level Barometer ->

Calibration
The altitude is the primary display and the temperature is the secondary display, with the forecast icon
and pressure trend at the top of the display, as shown in Figure 4.
Since the altimeter measures Pressure Altitude and not True Altitude, the altimeter must be calibrated
at a known altitude, whenever convenient (for example, at the beginning of a hike). Pressure Altitude
vs. True Altitude is discussed in Section 9.
To calibrate the altitude, while in the Altitude and Temperature Display Mode, press and hold the
MODE
button for 3 seconds.
The calibrated altitude x 1000 will begin flashing. Press the
