7.1.1 Getting correct readings If you are engaged in an outdoor activity that requires you to know the air pressure, you need to enter the altitude reference value for your location. This is found on most topographic maps. Your Suunto Core will now give you the correct readings. To get the correct altitude readings, you need to enter the sea level [...]

ALTIMETER profile + altitude moving + weather change If your ALTIMETER profile is on and the weather changes frequently while you climb in altitude or go down in altitude, the device will give you incorrect readings.
