Setting profiles and reference values
Matching profile to activity
The altimeter profile should be selected when your outdoor activity involves changes in altitude (e.g. hiking in hilly terrain). The Barometer profile should be selected when your outdoor activity does not involve changes in altitude (e.g. surfing, sailing). To get the correct readings, you need to match the profile to the activity. You can either let Suunto Core decide which profile is most suitable for you at the moment, or you can choose a suitable profile yourself.
