ALTITUDE.

The Vertech shows current

altitude above or below sea level from

-4,000 feet to +30,000 feet in 5 foot incre-

°F

ments in the upper display.

ALTITUDE OFFSET.

produce changes in barometric pressure

that cause an offset in the displayed altitude

from the actual altitude. This offset is con-

sistent at any altitude, so if you start a hike with the altitude reading 50

feet high, it will remain 50 feet high at any elevation on your hike. You

can remove the offset by adjusting the altitude. When you adjust, you

set the displayed altitude to the actual altitude.

WHEN TO ADJUST ALTITUDE.

Altitude offset has no effect on

other Vertech functions, so there is no need to adjust until you want

to use the altitude function. Adjust at a known altitude such as at the

sea side, a marked summit or pass, or a location with an altitude

reference on a map such as a lake. Home or office make convenient

adjustment points after learning their elevations from a topographic

map. Adjust once a day when hiking or climbing or more often to

increase precision.

HOW TO ADJUST ALTITUDE.

the Altitude/Time function (A1). The altitude digits blink. Change them

with the Option Button. Altitude increases when the arrow on the left

of the display points up, and decreases when it points down. When you

reach the correct altitude, press the Adjust Button to exit.
