The final menu item is the FM radio. This option is included as many
people use devices to listen to music in flight and the Micro Alti is a
convenient choice as the vario tones are blended with the radio. While
we don’t encourage activity that might distract from the task of flying,
listening to music is generally allowed if done with due caution and does
not divert your attention; for example on cross country flights, and away
from obstacles or groups of other paragliders. You may consider using
a single ‘over the ear’ headphone so that you can still listen out for other
aircraft. While you are on the ground, you may want to catch a weather
forecast, keep up with the sport or pass the time waiting for the perfect
opportunity to fly!
Operating the radio
Plug an earpiece or headphones into the socket on the top of the Micro Alti.
The radio is switched on with a long press on the FM RADIO option.
Left and right buttons change the radio stations stored in memories
0-9. (Several frequencies are already stored for testing, so it should
find a station straight away). A further press on the middle button gives
the volume control which is operated with the left and right buttons,
followed by the MONO/STEREO control, then EXIT and OFF. (EXIT will
leave the radio on after pressing the left and right buttons, OFF will exit
with the radio switched off).
Storing stations: A long press on the middle button in memory mode will
cause it to begin scanning and the radio will stop when it finds a station.
You can press again to continue scanning or use the left and right buttons
