Suunto ESSENTIAL - Matching Profile to Activity; Setting Profiles; Setting Reference Values

7.2.1 Matching profile to activity
The ALTIMETER profile should be selected when your outdoor
activity involves changes in altitude (e.g. hiking in hilly terrain). The
BAROMETER profile should be selected when your outdoor activity
does not involve changes in altitude (e.g. surfing, sailing). To get
the correct readings, you need to match the profile to the activity.
You can either let Suunto Essential decide which profile is most
suitable for you at the moment, or you can choose a suitable profile
yourself.
