BAROMETRIC / ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE
Atmospheric Pressure is the pressure at any location of the Earth caused by the weight of the column of air above
it. One atmospheric pressure refers to the average pressure and gradually decreases as altitude increases.
Meteorologists use barometers to measure atmospheric pressure. Since variation in atmospheric pressure greatly
affected by weather, it is possible to forecast the weather by measuring the changes in pressure.
To select the display mode:
Press and hold [BARO] button for 2 seconds to toggle between:
• ABSOLUTE the absolute atmospheric pressure of your location
• RELATIVE the relative atmospheric pressure based on the sea level

The default relative atmospheric pressure value is 1013 hPa (29.91 inHg), which refers to the average atmospheric pressure.
2. When you change the relative atmospheric pressure value, the weather indicators will change along with it.
3. The built-in barometer can notice the environmental absolute atmospheric pressure changes. Based on the data collected, it
can predict the weather conditions in the forthcoming 12 hours. Therefore, the weather indicators will change according to the
detected absolute atmospheric pressure after you operate the clock for 1 hour.
4. The relative atmospheric pressure is based on the sea level, but it will change with the absolute atmospheric pressure changes
after operating the clock for 1 hour.
To select the measurement unit for the barometer:
1. Press the [BARO] button to enter unit setting mode.
2. Use the [BARO] button to change the unit between inHg (inches of mercury) / mmHg (millimeter of mercury)
