9.1 How Alti & Baro works
To get correct readings with ALTI & BARO mode, it is important to
understand how Suunto Ambit2 calculates altitude and sea level air
pressure. Suunto Ambit2 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.
