4.1 Exit Menu

Pressing the rotary  control on this menu item will cause the ALT-1 to exit the menu system. All 
changes made during navigation of the menu system will be saved in non-volatile memory on exiting 
the menu system.

 

If you remove power before exiting the menu the instrument will not save any 

changes.

4.2 Maximum Values

To  avoid  false  recordings,  the  maximum  values function   is  only  activated  10  seconds  after the 
instrument has powered up.

Move the highlight over the “DONE” menu item and press the rotary button to return to the main 
menu.

Move the highlight over this menu item and press the rotary button to reset the maximum altitude 
and airspeed values to the current values.

4.3 Display Setup

   

 

Move the highlight over this menu option and press the rotary button to return to the main menu.

Select this menu option to adjust the display contrast.

Note:  

(ADC Values and Calibrate Menus are only visible when powering up the unit and pressing the 

Rotary Control). The text “CALIBRATE” will appear on the intro screen when entering this mode.

Warning:

  The Calibrate Menu is for technical personnel only. Changing any values in this menu may 

cause the instrument to display incorrect information, and may require the instrument to be returned to 
the factory for recalibration.
