Altimeter Page Options include: Plot Over Time/Distance—Plots the changes in elevation or pressure over a length of time or over a distance. When Plot Over Distance is selected, Plot over Time is displayed in the Option Menu (and vice versa). View Pressure/Elevation Plot—Displays a record of changes in barometric pressure or elevation for a set period of time. Zoom Ranges—Sets the zoom range for elevation, distance, or time. View Points—Shows the elevation, time of day, and date a specific point was created Reset…—Clears recorded data from the page to begin recording new data. Calibrate Altimeter—Increases the accuracy of the altimeter. You must know your elevation or pressure to calibrate the altimeter. Restore Defaults—Returns the Altimeter Page to the original factory settings (defaults). Altimeter Page Option Menu 38 Rino® 130 Owner’s Manual UNIT OPERATION > ALTIMETER PAGE Viewing Pressure/Elevation Plots When selecting the View Elevation Plot option, you can plot a profile of elevation changes that occur as you navigate over a set distance or period of time. When you select View Pressure Plot, you can view a record of changes in barometric pressure for a set period of time. When one option is active the other displays on the Altimeter Page Option Menu . To view elevation or pressure plots: 1. Use the Thumb Stick to highlight the desired option from the Option Menu and then press In to display the plot. 2. Adjust time and distance measurement as desired using the Elevation Plot Zoom Ranges feature explained below. 3. To clear the plot and start a new one, you must clear the Track Log. Adjusting the Zoom Ranges You can set the Zoom Ranges for elevation, distance, or time when you display the View Elevation Plot. You may change the ranges for the vertical distance and the time. Ranges for View Pressure Plot are fixed at 6.8 millibars and 12 hours. To adjust zoom ranges: 1. Select the type of plot you want to display and use the Thumb Stick to highlight Zoom Ranges from the Option Menu. 2. Press the Thumb Stick In to display the Zoom Ranges Page. 3. Move the Thumb Stick Up or Down to adjust the vertical distance and Left or Right to adjust either the time or distance. Press In to return to the Plot Page. Zoom Range selection Rino® 130 Owner’s Manual UNIT OPERATION > ALTIMETER PAGE Viewing Points The View Points option allows you to scroll through the stored elevation profile and to view a single point along the profile. When the pointer is stopped at a location along the profile, the display shows the elevation, time of day and date the point was created. View Points Option Page To use the View Points option: 1. Use the Thumb Stick to access the Option Menu. 2. Highlight the View Points option and press the Thumb Stick In to display the View Points Page. 3. Move the Thumb Stick Right or Left to scroll the profile past the pointer in the center of the page. As the profile moves past the pointer, the status window at the top of page changes to display the date, time, and altitude for the point beneath the pointer. Resetting Data You can reset the elevation data and the maximum elevation data by selecting the Reset option from the Altimeter Page Option Menu . To reset the elevation data and max elevation fields: 1. Use the Thumb Stick to highlight the Reset option from the page Option Menu and press the Thumb Stick In to display the Reset page. 2.

You must know the elevation or pressure at your current location, information you can obtain from a map or other reliable source. To manually calibrate the altimeter: 1. Use the Thumb Stick to access the Option Menu. 2. Highlight the Calibrate Altimeter option and press the Thumb Stick to display the Calibration Page. 3. At the message asking “Do You Know The Correct Elevation?” highlight the on-screen Yes button and press the Thumb Stick In to enter your elevation. When finished, highlight OK and press it In to ...
