Suunto Observer - 5.2 Declination Adjustment

35
Why is the altitude reading not changing even though Im moving in a vertical direction?
You are using the Observer as a barometer and the altitude is fixed. To change to the altimeter
use, enter settings in the BARO or ALTI mode. The first thing that you can set is the choice
between Altimeter/Barometer Use. Refer to Chapter 3, Altimeter-Barometer Use.
Why does the vertical ascent/descent measurement show different readings even though I
am inside and staying in the same room?
Indoors, even small, unnoticeable air currents cause changes in air pressure. For example, if you
have a window open at the other end of your house, the air current may affect a room at the other
end of the building so little that you dont notice it, but the sensors of the Observer do. Because
the Observer measures ascent and descent based on changes in air pressure, it interprets these
changes as vertical movement.
What happens after the 99th logbook?
After recording the 99th logbook, the Observer writes the next logbook over the logbook number
1 (the oldest log) and then continues in numeric order.
What is the maximum capacity of total vertical ascent or descent feet/meters in the log-
book history?
The maximum figure that can be shown on the display is 39,999.999 representing feet or meters
depending on the unit of measurement set. This should be enough for most users: 39,999.999
meters is roughly three-quarters around the globe.
What is the duration readout?
The duration readout tells you how many hours and/or minutes the event recorded into the
logbook lasted. For example, if youre hiking from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. and the logbook is on during
this time, the readout would show a duration of 5:00 hours.
