Suunto Core - enter service mode

[J.Core]

Hi, I have been reading on this forum for a while.
I tried the trick to hold down 4 corner buttons, pressing top left button and holding down the left top button while suunto appearing in the display second time and managed to adjust the contrast, worked fine, could see the serial number and an absolute pressure.

Now I'd like to deliberate on the absolute pressure in the service mode a bit.
the value is 6hpa higher compared to the sea level pressure in barometer profile.

I keep my eye on the local latest air pressure official charts and they show the same or 95 % same air pressure value compared to my weather station in the kitchen. Suunto Core shows always 2 to 3 hpa higher baro value.
Logically I set barometer reference on Suunto to match my kitchen weather station and official air pressure value.
But then Suunto shows wrong altitude on numerous tests, always 10 - 12 meters below to what it should.
Is this ok ?


Somebody here was explaining there are 3 defaults for air pressure in the service mode : high, normal, low but how can one access it ? Maybe if Suunto Core was set to low pressure, I could get more accurate reading regarding sea level pressure determining my altitude.

In the meantime as I said before I'd be getting :
2-3hpa higher baro value if correct alti reference value is set or
10-12 meters lower alti value if correct sea level reference is set.

Can anybody help ?

thanks

It seems like this suunto wants me to do this when setting sea level reference: add 3 hpa to the sea level reverence value and take away 2 meters from the results of altemeter reference value, then I get the corect altitude to the meter.

Why do I have to do that ?

Is this what Suunto is designed for ?
