Screen 10: Elevation

Meteorologists standardize barometric pressure data to sea level so that sur-
face readings are comparable, whether they’re taken on a mountainside or
by the ocean. To make this same standardization and ensure accurate read-
ings, enter your elevation in this screen.

If you do not know your elevation, there are several ways to find out. Many
atlases and almanacs include elevation for cities and towns. You can also
check with the reference department of your local library. The more accurate
you are, the better; but a reasonable estimate works too.

1. Press < and > to move from one numeral in the elevation to another.

2. Press + and - to adjust a numeral up or down.

3. To switch between feet and meters, press 2ND then press UNITS.
