NOTE: To acquire true temperature reading, take the Observer away from wrist and
allow it to adjust to the ambient temperature for 15 minutes.
To view and use the Barometric function:
Press the [MODE] button until the mode indicator is directly below BARO.
In the Barometric mode the fields display information as shown in Fig. 4.1:
a) The top field displays the current temperature and barometric trend indicator;
b) The middle field displays sea level pressure;
c) The bottom field displays either the current time or the current absolute atmospheric
pressure. (Press the [ON OFF] button to toggle between the two values); and
d) The outer circumference of the LCD graphically displays lit segments of the atmos-
pheric pressure over 100 hPa or 1 inHg where one complete circle is equivalent to
100 hPa/1 inHg, depending on the unit of measure chosen.
NOTE: The absolute pressure is the actual pressure in any location at any given time.
The sea level pressure is the corresponding pressure at sea level.
NOTE: The absolute pressure is depending on current altitude and weather.
