Introduction
Before we go on to describe the Graviter, we need to make something clear. This
instrument, as you will have already seen, is full of different functions. These
functions have varying levels of complexity, For this reason, we suggest you learn
to use it progressively, so as to get the best out of it. In particular, we sugg
nge the batteries, you must
recalibrate the compass as described in paragraph 3.1.2.

est you
start by setting up the basic parameters, and use it as a variometer, and then later
go on to use the anemometer and the other functions. This way you will gradually
learn to take advantage of it’s full potential, and start to combine it’s use with the
GPS.
The Graviter is supplied with two stilo batteries as standard. The battery life is
about 200 hours. The battery state is monitored by an internal voltmeter (see
multifunction display) that calculates the battery life remaining. The monitor
relects the actual battery state (see percent battery on display ). This is only a
general indication because battery life can be influenced by use in extreme
conditions such as cold and humidity which lower the battery life. As with all
electronic instruments, your Graviter will benefit from proper use and care. When
the monitor calculates a battery life of 20 hours or less (and measurement in
voltmeter is 2,3 or less ), you will see the “low bat” indicator on the display.
Power
BE CAREFUL, when you take the old batteries out, you have only 60 seconds to
insert the new ones or the clock will reset. After you cha
