6. Press [ALT] again, the unit will return to the Normal

Altitude display.

Altitude Calibration

If the altitude on the display is different from the actual current

altitude, the unit can be manually calibrated to reflect the true

altitude level.
To calibrate the altitude:
1. In Normal Altitude Display.
2. Press and hold [ALT] and [TIME] simultaneously for about 2

seconds. The CAL Hx indicator shows on the display and the

current altitude digits start flashing.

3. Press [+] or [-] to adjust the altitude reading by 1 m. For rapid

acceleration of measurement adjustments, press and hold.

4. Press [ALT] to confirm and return to the Altitude Display.

Example:
Point C: A point where the altitude, as indicated by a marking

stone or post, is 1500 m. At this point set the current

altitude to 1500 m.

( 2 hours per column )

Note: The unit will return to Normal Altimeter Display if no

buttons are pressed for one-minute during the calibration

sequence.

Units of Measurement for Altitude

Altitude measurements can be displayed in feet (ft) or meters (m).
To change the altitude units of measure:
1. In Normal Altitude Display.
2. Simultaneously, press and hold the [+] and [-] to select

between meters or feet.

About The Altitude Change Graph

In Normal Altitude Display, the DA833 graphically display

altitude levels at 2-hour time intervals for the past 12 hours. Each

vertical bar on the altitude graph represents a 2-hour time period.

Each horizontal line represents pressure changes equal to + /-

200-meters.
