RE TREND CHART Stored memory of the barometric pressure changes are displayed on the chart in 5 steps indicating the pressure 1 3 6 12 and 24 hours ago This chart is plotted by comparing the past barometric pressure to the present pressure This gives you the pressure trend over the last 24 hours The weather will be getting better worse if this chart shows the bar marks moving up down towards the present time Important It is only possible to measure the barometric pressure trend properly if your barometer remains at the same altitude When moving around at different altitude within a short time period the air pressure changes The barometric pressure reading is precise only if the barometer has remained at a constant altitude for 24 hours However please note again the accuracy of a weather forecast based on the barometric pressure reading Itis considered to be about 70 75 HOW TO SET THE ALTITUDE 1 Press and hold the SET button for 2 seconds to set the altitude The ALT indicator will turn on with the altitude setting flashing display in meter The accuracy of a general pressure based weather forecast is about 70 to 75 Increase decrease the altitude in steps of 10 meter by pressing A or W _ button 2 Press the SET button again to set the altitude At this time the previous pressure display will reappear If the altitude has been changed the ALT indicator flashing about 1
