and gradually decreases as altitude increases. Meteorolo-
gists use barometers to measure atmospheric pressure.
Since variation in atmospheric pressure is greatly affected
by weather, it is possible to forecast the weather by measur-
ing the changes in pressure.
1.
Press the BARO button to switch between barometric
pressure display in inHg or in hPa.
2.
Press the BARO button for 3 seconds to change
between absolute and relative atmospheric pressure.
• ABSOLUTE: the absolute atmospheric pressure of your
location.
• RELATIVE: the relative atmospheric pressure based on
the sea level.
Set relative atmospheric pressure value
3.
Get the atmospheric pressure data of the sea level (it is
also the relative atmospheric pressure data of your
home area) through the local weather service, internet
and other channels.
4.
Press and hold the BARO button for approx. 3 seconds
until "abs" or "rel" flashes.
5.
Press CH/UP or 12/24/DOWN button to switch to "rel"
