SETTING ALTIMETER
(continued)
The ALTIS is equipped with three altimeter Preset Locations. Preset Locations allow
you to pre-program 3 known altitudes into the watch’s memory. These presets allow
you to easily compensate for altitude drift caused by changes in atmospheric pressure
and are useful in the daily calibration process. If you know the exact altitude of a
particular place (example: your home, a favorite trail head or the base of your favorite
ski hill), you can preset your ALTIS to this location for quick calibration at that location.
You can also adjust the current altitude of your watch independent of the Preset
Locations.
