9 USING ALTI & BARO MODE

In

ALTI & BARO

mode you can view the current altitude or barometric pressure.

It offers three profiles: Automatic, Barometer and Altimeter. For information
on setting profiles, see Section 9.2.1 Setting profiles on page 52.
You can access different views depending on which profile is activated when
you are in

ALTI & BARO

mode.

9.1 How Alti & Baro works

To get correct readings with

ALTI & BARO

mode, it is important to understand

how Suunto Ambit calculates altitude and sea level air pressure. Suunto Ambit
constantly measures absolute air pressure. Based on this measurement and
reference values, it calculates altitude or sea level air pressure.

CAUTION: Keep the area around the sensor free of dirt and sand. Never insert

any objects into the sensor openings.
