9 USING ALTI & BARO MODE In ALTI & BARO mode you can view the current altitude or barometric pressure. It offers three profiles: Automatic , Barometer and Altimeter . For information on setting profiles, see Section 9.2.1 Setting profiles on page 52 .
9.1.1 Getting correct readings If you are engaged in an outdoor activity that requires accurate sea level air pressure or altitude, you will first need to calibrate your Suunto Ambit2 by entering either your current altitude or the current sea level air pressure.
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.
To get correct readings, you need to match the profile to your activity. You can either let Suunto Ambit2 decide a suitable profile for the activity, or choose a profile yourself. NOTE: You can define the profile as part of the sport mode settings in Movescount, or in your Suunto Ambit2.
3. Scroll to Reference with [Light Lock] and enter with [Next]. 4. The following setting options are available: ● FusedAlti : GPS is switched on and the device starts calculating altitude based on FusedAlti. For more information, see Section 9.6 FusedAlti TM on page 58 .
TIP: You can access the Reference setting by keeping [View] pressed in TIME mode. You can also set your altitude during your exercise, see Section 12.6.4 Setting altitude during exercise on page 80 . 9.3 Using Altimeter profile The Altimeter profile calculates altitude based on reference values.
NOTE: If you are wearing your Suunto Ambit2 on your wrist, you will need to take it off in order to get an accurate temperature reading because your body temperature will affect the initial reading. 9.4 Using Barometer profile The Barometer profile shows the current sea level air pressure.
Altitude reference is the latest altitude used in ALTI & BARO mode. It can be: ● the altitude you have set as altitude reference in the Barometer profile, or ● the latest altitude logged in the Automatic profile before changing to the Barometer profile.
It is not possible to measure weather and altitude changes at the same time, as both cause a change in the surrounding air pressure. Suunto Ambit2 senses vertical movement and switches to measuring altitude, when needed. When altitude is shown, it is updated with a maximum delay of 10 seconds.
9.6 FusedAlti TM FusedAlti TM provides an altitude reading that is a combination of GPS and barometric altitude. It minimizes the effect of temporary and offset errors in the final altitude reading. NOTE: By default, altitude is measured with FusedAlti during exercises that use GPS and during navigation.
When the device is in TIME mode, you can search a new reference for barometric altitude with FusedAlti. This activates the GPS for a maximum of 15 minutes. To search a new reference for barometric altitude with FusedAlti: 1. Keep [Next] pressed to enter the options menu.
NOTE: In good conditions it takes 4 – 12 minutes for the FusedAlti to activate. During that time, Suunto Ambit2 shows barometric altitude and ~ is shown with the altitude reading to indicate that the altitude may not be correct. TIP: You can access the Reference setting by keeping [View] pressed in TIME mode.
10 USING 3D COMPASS Suunto Ambit2 has a 3D compass that allows you to orient yourself in relation to magnetic north. The tilt-compensated compass gives you accurate readings even if the compass is not horizontally level.
