Calibrating the Altimeter Because the Rino 530 relies on the barometric pressure to determine the elevation and the pressure at any given elevation can fluctuate, you can calibrate the altimeter to increase its accuracy. You must know the elevation (from a map point or other reliable data) or the pressure (calibrated to sea level - information you can obtain from the NOAA weather forecasts received on your Rino 530 or other reliable source) for your current location. To manually calibrate the altimeter: 1. Use the Thumb Stick to access the Option Menu. 2. Highlight the Calibrate Altimeter option and press the Thumb Stick to display the Calibration Page. 3. At the message asking "Do You Know The Correct Elevation?" highlight the on-screen Yes button and press the Thumb Stick In to enter your elevation. When finished, highlight OK and press it In to return to the Altimeter Page. If you don't know your current elevation, press No to move to the pressure calibration page.
