Calibrating the Altimeter

Because the Rino 130 relies on the Barometric pressure to determine the elevation and the

pressure at any given elevation can ﬂuctuate, you can calibrate the altimeter to increase its ac-
curacy. You must know the elevation or pressure at your current location, information you can
obtain from a map or other reliable source.

To manually calibrate the altimeter:

1. Use the

THUMB STICK

2. Highlight the ‘Calibrate Altimeter’ option and press the

THUMB STICK

to display the

Calibration Page.

3. At the message asking “Do You Know The Correct Elevation?” highlight the on-screen ‘Yes’

button and press the

THUMB STICK

IN to enter your elevation. When ﬁnished, highlight

‘OK’ and press it IN to return to the Altimeter Page.

Or At the message asking “Do You Know The Correct Pressure?” highlight the on-screen ‘Yes’

button and press the

THUMB STICK

IN to enter your elevation. When ﬁnished, highlight

‘OK’ and press it IN to return to the Altimeter Page.
