Start altitude 2 can be the start altitude at a holiday location. After entering the start altitude, the current altitude measured can be quickly and easily recalibrated as the start altitude before any trip. The key word here is recalibrated:
Recalibration must occur before every trip. The M6 measures the current air pressure and converts it into an altitude measurement. However, the air pressure changes daily depending on the weather. This leads to a constantly changing current altitude measurement despite your start altitude not having changed. During recalibration, the currently measured air pressure is calculated back to the set start altitude. Following recalibration, the current altitude once again matches the set start altitude. You can now set off. How to set the start altitudes:

The M6 measures the current air pressure and converts it into an altitude measurement. The air pressure changes daily depending on the weather. This leads to a constantly changing current altitude measurement despite your home start altitude not having changed. During recalibration, the currently measured air pressure is calculated back to the set home start altitude. Following recalibration, the M6 again correctly displays the home start altitude as the current altitude. You must now recalibrate before starting a trip. How to recalibrate:
Press and hold the ALTI button until the menu opens. Press BIKE or TPC to scroll to HOME ALTITUDE 1 or HOME ALTITUDE 2 depending on where you are setting off from. Now press SET to confirm the desired start altitude. The start altitude is saved and displayed as the CURRENT ALTITUDE. You can now set off. In addition to choosing between the two start altitudes, you can also manually set the CURRENT ALTITUDE. Do this if you are not setting off from either HOME ALTITUDE 1 or HOME ALTITUDE 2. The CURRENT ALTITUDE is set in metres. If you do not know the altitude, you can alternatively use the sea level pressure entry. The relevant air pressure data can be found on several weather websites. The computer can now use this information to calculate and display the current altitude. 39 M6 Settings clock In the VDO M6, you can set the time in 12-hour AM/PM format or 24-hour format.
