Welcome!
Our goal with AltimeterThree was to design an altitude recorder that would
help you study flight performance in scientific detail, push your flying to a
new level
,
and
to let you share what you learn with others. To do that, we
decided to put your smartphones and tablets to good use.
The hardest part will probably be setting up your mobile device to
communicate with AltimeterThree. I know that setting up wireless
connections can sometimes be frustrating, but this guide and our website
should get you up and running quickly, and we’ve tried to make things as
easy and automatic as possible.
As your software is updated over time the website will always serve as the
most up-to-date and accurate guide on to how to use AltimeterThree and
your mobile AltimeterThree app. When you get a chance, wander over to
www.jollylogic.com and check out our support resources.
We’d love to hear from you.
Happy flying!

The Basics
All of these steps are explained in this guide.
First, pair your phone/tablet
Before using AltimeterThree, it needs to be “paired” with your phone/tablet.
This gives permission for the two devices to communicate via Bluetooth.
You only have to do this once, but it’s important!
Install the App
Install the AltimeterThree app from the Apple App Store
SM
or Google Play
TM
,
then launch it. You should give permission for GPS usage so that your flights
can be stamped with their location.
Connect to AltimeterThree
You must already be paired (from step 1) to connect. You can connect in
the app, but sometimes it’s best to do it on your phone’s Settings>Bluetooth.
Customize your settings
Select a mode for the type of flying you are doing (quadcopter, rocket, plane,
etc.), choose feet or meters for measurement, and enter a phone number
that the altimeter can display in case it is lost and found.
Charge your altimeter battery
Make a flight recording
Press Record to start, and Stop to finish. Your flight will be automatically
uploaded to your phone or tablet. Practice before your first flight.
