Altitude
The cycling computer measures and displays altitude. Change the settings of the altimeter in the Altitude
menu. You can calibrate the altimeter manually or automatically.
Calibrating the Altitude Manually
Select Settings > Features > Altitude > Calibrate > set the altitude of current location
If the altitude of your location differs significantly from the displayed altitude value Calibrate to xx? is
displayed.
Yes: Altitude calibrated to xx is displayed.
No: Altitude calibration canceled is displayed.
Calibrate the altitude to ensure it remains accurate. Set the reference altitude whenever a reliable
reference, such as a peak or a topographic map, is available or when at sea level.
Calibrating the Altitude Automatically
Select Settings > Features > Altitude > AutoCalib > On / Off
By using the altitude Automatic Calibration option, you can adjust the starting elevation to be set always
the same in the beginning of the exercise. Calibrate the elevation manually and turn the Automatic
Calibration (AutoCalib) on. From now on, this elevation will be always used as the base elevation in the
beginning or the exercise, when automatic altitude calibration is in use. Also, if the Automatic Calibration
is turned on and you calibrate the cycling computer manually, this new value will be used as a new
starting elevation for the Automatic Calibration option.
If the elevation or air pressure changes significantly, you are prompted to confirm the change. If you
change the elevation,Altitude calibrated to xx m/ft indicates that calibration has succeeded. If Altitude
calibration failed is displayed, re-calibrate the altitude.
