5.4  Activating storm alarm
The storm alarm notifies you that a pressure drop of 4 hPa / 0.12 inHg or more
has occurred during a 3-hour period. Suunto Core will activate an alarm and
flash an alarm symbol on the display for 20 seconds. The storm alarm only
works when you have activated the 
BAROMETER
 profile in the 
ALTI & BARO
 mode.
To activate the storm alarm:
1. In 
MENU
, select 
ALTI-BARO
.
2. Select
 STORM ALARM
.
3. Switch the storm alarm on or off with [+] and [- Light].
 TIP: You can stop the storm alarm by pressing any button.
Possible real life situation: Getting surprised by a storm while hiking
You are hiking in a dense forest when your Suunto Core activates the storm alarm.
The weather has taken a turn for the worse in the last 3 hours - the sky is getting
dark. Good thing your Suunto Core warned you, because you need to find shelter
from the hard rain that may soon fall.
5.5  Using altimeter profile
The 
ALTIMETER
 profile calculates altitude based on the reference values. The
reference values can either be sea level air pressure or a previous point of
altitude reference value. When the 
ALTIMETER
 profile is activated, the word 
ALTI
is underlined on the display.
