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.

Thumb Stick to access the Option Menu.

Elevation?” highlight the on-screen 

Yes button and

Pressure?” highlight the on-screen 

Yes button and
