GENERAL OPERATION OF THE
ALTIMETER
In Altimeter Mode, by detecting changes in air pressure, the
DA833 determines a given altitude level. Subsequently, the unit
can be set to show changes in altitude and maximum / minimum
elevations. It can store altitude-related data and display elevation
trends over a 12-hour period of time. The unit can also display the
net total of accumulative ascents.
A small
icon indicates that the unit is in Altimeter Mode
and that the displays are altitude related.
To view display sequences in Altimeter Mode:
1. Press [ALT] to move between various Altimeter Mode displays.
Normal Altitude Display
The first display in Altimeter Mode.
Note: If the unit is being used for the first time, it will
automatically enter the Normal Altimeter Display.

Follow these steps to install or replace batteries:
1. Open battery cover located at the back of the unit by removing
screws.
2. Insert 2 (two) new CR-2032 Lithium batteries.
3. Replace the battery cover.
A battery-low indicate [
BATT
] will show on the display when the
batteries require changing.
It is recommended that when the user is stationary at one elevation,
that the unit is placed in Barometer Mode. The Altimeter Mode
may shorten battery life. Stored altitude related data is not affected
by having the unit in Barometer Mode for extended periods of
time.
Note: Disposed of improperly, batteries can be harmful.
Protect the environment by taking exhausted batteries to
authorized disposal stations.
