If you land outside an airport unintentionally and find yourself at a markedly lower or higher
height on your way back (
±
10 m), turn the device off manually after arrival and then turn it
on again! If you are in doubt, proceed in the same way to be on the safe side! This will
secure the proper re-calibration of the device prior to the next jump.
5.
Stand-by mode
When in the stand-by mode, the device is on the ground. Pressure and a possible airplane
start are checked regularly. This mode starts as soon as the calibration is completed. The
display shows a time countdown until the automatic turning off of the machine. For
instance, the display shows time information
[ 14:00 ]
with a flickering second-indicating
colon in the middle. This indicates the introduction of the device into the stand-by mode for
fourteen hours after which the device turns off automatically. All the time the display will
continue to show the time remaining to the turn off, for instance,
[ 14:00 ], [ 13:59 ], [
13:58 ], ……, [ 00:01 ], [ 00:00 ]
.
If the device is set to a different mode than EXPERT, this is indicated on the display. The
TANDEM adjustment is indicated by letter
‚t’
in the far-right display field, for instance,
[ 14:00t ].
The BEGINNER adjustment is indicated by letter
‚b’,
for instance,
[ 14:00b ].
When the EXPERT adjustment is used, the far-right display field is empty.
6.
Jump mode
Just a while after an airplane’s start the device automatically changes to a jump mode. The
display stops imaging time and shows a current reached height above the ground (AGL).
After landing a calibration sequence takes place and the device automatically switches back
to a standby mode.
Note:
Just a look at the display can check not only the mode in which the device is operating but
also the time remaining to an automatic turn off as well as the proper function of the device.

Adjustment during a jump outside an airport
If the landing surface is located higher or lower than the starting place, the device has to be
adjusted to a correct value as follows:
If the device is on, turn it off. Activate the device by means of the activation sequence. As
soon as the display begins to read
[
ON ],
press the right button
( > )
and keep it pressed
until the display starts to show
[
SEt ]
. By pressing the right button or keeping it pressed
adjust the required height of the landing ground (
±
600 m). Confirm your selection by
pressing the left button
( o )
. Once the calibration has been completed, the device switches
to a stand-by mode. The display shows, in turns, a time countdown and a set height, for
instance,
[ 14:00 ] …[ + 120 ] … [ 14:00 ]
