I just purchased a plane with the FlightDEK in it. When I set the local baro correctly, the altimeter is off by about 200 feet. Is there a way to adjust these settings so that I can set it more accurately? I don't see anything in the installation guide referring to that configuration.

Thanks!

Page 9-1 and 9-5 of the install guide covers this. Under setup, there is an ALTADJ option that lets you adjust the altitude up or down by 500 feet.

Please do this after the unit has been on for at least 20 minutes, as the altitude does drift some as the unit warms up.

Thanks! I missed it when rushing through the guide. I will make the adjustment. Much appreciated, and super quick response!
