Basic Operation Calibrating the Altimeter Because the Rino 530HCx relies on the barometric pressure to determine the elevation and the pressure at any given elevation can fluctuate, 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) for your current location. To manually calibrate the altimeter: 1. Use the Rocker to access the option menu. 2. Select the Calibrate Altimeter option to open the Calibration page. 3. At the message asking "Do You Know The Correct Elevation?" select Yes to enter your elevation. When finished, select OK to return to the Altimeter page. If you don't know your current elevation, select No to move to the pressure calibration page. At the message asking, "Do You Know The Correct Pressure?" select the on-screen Yes button to enter your pressure. When finished, select OK. Rino 520HCx and 530HCx Owner's Manual 33
