Fairhaven Micro Alti 2 Manual Download Page 4

The time clock and timers are on the left button, altimeter and barometer 

references are on the right and various other functions are on the middle 

button. After displaying a function, for example temperature or altimeter 

type, that function will be remembered when you return to the button.
After checking the time, the menu will automatically return to the 

previous function without having to press it again, and after selecting 

the averager it will return to the current altimeter after a few seconds. 

If you press either of these functions a second time it will stay on that 

function, the vario will then be displayed above the time and altitude 

below the averager.
The middle button gives access to 3 sub menus when SUB is displayed: 

The left submenu

 shows maximum readings for altitude, humidity etc. 

The right sub menu

 allows you to adjust regular user settings.

The middle sub menu

 is accessible with a long press on SUB and gives 

access to less used settings, tests, serial number etc. Remember to use 

EXIT to leave any of the sub menus.

The Micro Alti is shipped in DEMO mode to let you see how it responds, 

but it may be too sensitive for general flying so we would recommend 

selecting DEFS (flying defaults) in the middle SUB menu and press the 

right button to make the change. You can also customise your settings 

in the right SUB menu.
