Default Newbie S-NAV question

So I bought a glider with an S-NAV&GPS-NAV not long ago, and I don't
really know how to use either. However, when I start up the S-NAV, the
unit thinks I am at 28300ft, when actual elevation is 434ft. Obviously,
it won't let me adjust the altimeter enough to get the right elevation.
On the startup "altimeter" screen, I set the pressure setting to the
same as my regular altimeter (29.92 or whatever), but the altitude
readout is still way off. Anyone run into this? Is it broken, or am I
missing a setting somewhere?

If this is the altitude shown on the initial power up when you see
battery voltage, barometric pressure, and altitude, then it needs to
go visit Gary at ClearNav. Oh, and you may need to put on your oxygen
mask, if you really are that high! ;-)
