Highgear Terrapod Altimeter Instructions

Highgear's Terrapod is a handheld electronic altimeter/barometer/compass combination unit for outdoor uses such as hiking, camping and hunting. The Swiss barometric pressure sensor is capable of determining altitudes in a range from -1,312 feet below sea level to +29,520 feet. Barometric data also generates weather forecast displays. The Terrapod is water-resistant to a depth of 33 feet and is powered by two CR 2032 lithium batteries. To ensure correct calibration of altitude to current barometric pressure, the Terrapod's altimeter can be manually set to a known altitude.
