When you select Baro, the altitude reading in the
Compass, Skiing and SkiChrono modes remains constant.
The atmospheric pressure (sea level and absolute) in
the Weather mode changes.
Select the correct use according to what you want to
measure. For example, on a skiing trip, you can select
Alti for the day to see how high you have climbed. When
you camp for the night, you can change to Baro to make
sure that the weather changes do not catch you by
surprise.
To select either Altimeter or Barometer use:
1. In the Function menu, scroll to Use with the arrow
buttons and press Suunto. The Alti/Baro field is
activated.
2. Change the content of the field with the arrow buttons
and press Suunto. You then return to the Function
menu.
3.3.3. Altitude/Sealevel
For the altimeter to function correctly, you need to set
the reference altitude. This means that you must set an
altitude reading equal to the real altitude. Set the refer-
ence altitude in a place where you know the altitude, for
example, with the help of a topographical map. Suunto
S6 has a factory set reference altitude, which corre-
sponds to the standard barometric pressure (1013 hPa/
