4.1 seTTIng THe alTIMeTeR
In setting the Altimeter, there are three processes that can be performed: the Reference Altitude (known altitude at the current location);
Altitude Alarm (signals the user when a certain altitude, programmed, is reached); and Logbook Recording Interval (allows the user to
view the altitude, average rate of vertical movement and heart rate within a chosen interval of time).
. press the [select] button and hold in for seconds. located in field is the text “re” (indicating reference altitude), located in
