4.4 Changing settings
4.4.1 Dropzone Offset
You must set the dropzone offset whenever the
airfield and the dropzone where you intend to land
are at different elevations.
CYPRES allows for adjustments of up to ± 3000
feet, or ± 1000 meters. ( ± 1050 feet or ± 350 meters
for WSC). If an adjustment has been made, either
„meter“ or „ft“ is shown on the display. If „meter“
is shown, the displayed value is in meters. If „ft“
is shown, the value is in feet.
Switch on CYPRES only at the takeoff site on
the ground. In order to make the dropzone offset
adjustment, simply leave your finger pressed firmly
on the button when you press it for the fourth time
during switch-on. CYPRES will continue with its
DZ 360 feet above airfield
self-test, and once it has finished, it will display 30
feet (or 10 meters) with an arrow pointing
up (

). If you are going to jump to an elevation
which is 30 feet higher than your take off, then
release the button.
If you keep it pressed, then CYPRES displays 30
feet (10 meters) with an arrow pointing
down (

). If you are going to jump to a 30 feet
lower elevation, then release the button.
Settings: Make sure all settings are correct before
use. Wrong settings can cause injury or death.
After changing settings as described in Section 4.4.2 and
following, switch the unit ON and verify the settings within the
unit information sequence (see Section 4.5)
Any adjustment solely on the user‘s risk.
