SKMEI 1358 digital altimeter
SKMEI 1358 barometer mode displays the current altitude and current temperature measurement. It also stores a history of altitudes for 24 hours with one measurement per hour. Keep reading to find out how to set it up, calibrate and use it.
Buttons and main screen layout
Setting mode
1. From the main screen, press the dedicated Altimeter button to enter altimeter mode.
2. Press and hold the MODE button to enter altimeter setting mode.
In the setting mode, you can cycle through three types of settings for barometer mode using the MODE button.
ZERO CAL --> ALTI CAL --> SEAP CAL --> F.DEF CAL
ZERO CAL = Set the altitude to zero at the current air pressure
ALTI CAL = Altitude calibration
SEAP CAL = Sea air pressure calibration
F.DEF CAL = Reset to default factory settings
Setting the altitude to zero
1. Cycle to ZERO CAL screen and press either the UP or DOWN button to select yes or no.
2. Press and hold the MODE button to apply your selection.
Altitude calibration
1. Cycle to ALTI CAL screen and press either the UP or DOWN button to increase or decrease your customized altitude.
2. Press and hold the MODE button to apply your change.
Reset to default factory settings
1. Cycle to F.DEF CAL screen and press either the UP or DOWN button to select yes or no.
2. Press and hold the MODE button to apply your selection.
Changing the top display
While in barometer mode screen, press the BAROmeter button to cycle the top display to show different information.
Temperature --> Altitudes history graph
The altitudes history graph is showing altitudes measured every hour automatically in the background.
Viewing altitude history
1. While in barometer mode screen, press the BAROmeter button to cycle the top display to show the altitude history graph.
2. Press the DOWN button to immediately showing the altitude measurement of the last hour.
3. Keep pressing the DOWN button to cycle back in time hour by hour to show the altitude measurement of each hour.
The watch will keep a history of 12 hours of measurements. While cycling through the history, notice the flashing of the altitude history graph, which indicates how far back of the history you are looking at.
Changing the altitude and temperature measurement unit
While in the altitude mode screen and the top display is showing temperature, press and hold the BAROmeter button to cycle the combinations of altitude and temperature measurement unit.
degC, meter (m) --> degC, feet (ft) --> degF, feet (ft) --> degF, meter (m)
Hi there sir. Tq for the great documentation on this watch. Just wanna ask this question. Do we have to calibrate the baro and alti of this watch according to our location or just use the factory presets? Tq so much
ReplyDeleteFor a more accurate baro and alti readings, you will have to calibrate it. Usually I would calibrate it with a handheld GPS device for altimeter. If you use the factory preset, the altimeter reading might just be +/- 10m. That's just my observation.
DeleteThank you for the improved manual. On my main screen I somehow placed a graph where the day should be. Can you tell me how to remove the graph and get back to the day displayed at the top?
ReplyDeleteWow, I was trying to use the instruction manual that came with the watch and it was frustrating. I've never had one of these altimeter type watches and didn't understand the functions. After a few minutes with your outline, I get it. Thanks a lot.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the manual. Will the altimeter and or barometer work under water as well? 10 to 15m?
ReplyDeleteNão estou conseguindo editar a altitude, ela muda sozinha sempre p 620m, mas a altitude real é de 791m, sempre q coloco o valor correto no mesmo segundo muda... Pode me ajudar? Já ajustei a SEAP e td mais... Mas nada...
ReplyDeleteHow to switch between temperature or day of week on the main display. I somehow managed to change it from day to temp, but how????
ReplyDeleteHold down the top right button for 3 secs Then press bottom left button
Deleteonce and day of week, time and date will appear on main screen.
Hello! Great work, thank you so much. I'm planning on buying one, especifically for the barometric altimeter function. Do you think it's really accurate? (once you have calibrated it with a known altitud)
