ALTIMETER
Because the ALTIMETER system in the Summit/Altitech 2 relies on barometric pressure for its
measurements, it is critical that you regularly calibrate the unit to a known altitude. For maximum
accuracy, daily calibration is a must. If you are using the unit during times of changeable weather, the
unit may need to be calibrated more often. Generally, the small pressure changes experienced during a
day of use will have only a minor effect on the accuracy of the unit, however, the arrival or departure of
a weather front can change the current weather display by several hundred feet or more.
The ALTIMETER has one display screen. When you enter the altimeter the TOP LINE will scroll,
showing you your MAXIMUM AND ACCUMULATED altitude since the last time they were reset.
After the scroll has completed, the TOP LINE shows you a graphic indication of altitude changes over
time. The CENTER LINE of the display shows your current elevation and the BOTTOM LINE shows
the TIME OF DAY.
