page to view the current elevation, rate of ascent/descent,
a profile of elevation changes over distance or time, or a
profile of pressure changes over time. Use the Altimeter
page’s option menu to select from a variety of display
options such as plotting over time, plotting over distance,
showing the zoom ranges of measurement, viewing
elevation or pressure points, and resetting data displays.
There are two data fields to view a variety of current and
recorded pressure and elevation related data.

altimeter should be calibrated. Refer to page 33 for

The Status Window is located at the bottom of the page
and shows the current elevation and your current rate of
ascent or descent when moving. It also shows the ambient
or the barometric pressure.
