3. BEFORE ACTIVITY
Daily Use
Your Polar AW200 Activity Watch can be worn on
the wrist at all times. Not only does it tell you the
time of day and date, but the surrounding
temperature and air pressure trend (BARO), as
well, helping you keep track of any changes in the
weather.
Altitude Measurement
Altitude measurement relies on a simple principle:
atmospheric pressure decreases as elevation
increases.
For accurate altitude readings, the device needs to
be calibrated first.
Altitude Calibration
To calibrate the altimeter, check your current
altitude on a topographic map of your area.
Alternatively, calibrate the barometer instead. For
this, see 'Barometer Calibration'.
1.
Go to ALTIBARO mode. If the display shows
BARO mode, press START twice to Activate
ALTIMETER. If you are already in ALTI mode,
proceed to step 2.
2.
Press START and UP to go to Altitude
CALIBRATION and press START. The value on
the display starts flashing.
3.
Enter the correct altitude (M / FT).
4.
Calibration OK is displayed for three seconds
before the display returns to ALTI mode.
