VX-5R OPERATING MANUAL54
The optional Barometric Pressure unit (SU-1) brings to the VX-5R the unique capability
of providing readout of the current barometric pressure. This information is then used for
calculation of your current altitude, when hiking, etc.
The Barometric Pressure unit requires calibration of the “offset” parameters, so that differ-
ences in pressure can be used to calculate altitude. This procedure requires that you have a
calculated barometer, and that you know your current altitude. If you are at sea level, of
course, the latter parameter requires no research.
Correcting the Atmospheric Pressure Meter (Barometer Offset)
Press the
[
F/W
]
key, then press the
[
BAND
(
SET
)
AR
]
key to enter the Set Mode.
Rotate the DIAL to select Menu Item #43 (“BARO OFST”), then press the
[
BAND
(
SET
)
AR
]
key momentarily.
Turn the DIAL to set the difference (value) between the VX-5R display and the cali-
brated barometer display. For example, if the VX-5R display shows “1024 hpa”
and calibrated barometer indicates “1029 hpa”, set the Barometer offset to “+5”.
Press the PTT key momentarily to save the your new setting and exit to normal opera-
tion.
Use the chart below to convert from “hpa” to “Inches of Mercury” if your
barometer does not read metric values.
Correcting the Altimeter Setting (Altimeter Offset)
Press the
[
F/W
]
key, then press the
[
BAND
(
SET
)
AR
]
key to enter the SET Mode.
Rotate the DIAL to select Menu Item #44 (“ALTI OFST”), then press the
[
BAND
(
SET
)
AR
]
key momentarily.
Turn the DIAL to set the difference (value) between the VX-5R’s currently-displayed
value and current location's altitude. For example, if the VX-5R display indicates
“2m” while you actually are at sea level, set the Altimeter offset to “2” in this step.
You can set the ALTI OFST at any place (other than sea level) if you know the true
altitude at you current location.
Press the PTT key momentarily to save the your new setting and exit to normal opera-
tion.
