In the screen above, the backlight, logbook, & freefall alarms are
enabled, and the battery is full. Canopy alarms are disabled.
In Climb Mode, you can adjust any setting, look at your logbook, and turn functions
on and off, right up until you exit the plane.
You do not have to return to the main screen when you are ready to skydive, or go
to the altitude screen. The Neptune will switch to Freefall Mode, no matter what
screen is displayed when you exit.
Freefall
When the Neptune detects you are in freefall, it will switch to Freefall Mode,
regardless of which screen you may be in at that time. The freefall display shows
altitude in thousands of feet (or hundreds of meters).
There is also an analog display called the “fun meter”. The “fun meter” is a black
bar across the bottom of the screen which starts to fill in at 3,000 feet and is a
complete solid bar at 12,000 feet. The purpose is to give you a quick indication of
where you are between 12,000 feet and 3,000 feet.
WARNING
PARACHUTING IS A HAZARDOUS ACTIVITY THAT CAN RESULT IN INJURY OR DEATH.
An altimeter is a device subject to malfunction, even when properly designed, built, assembled, maintained and used. Do not
rely upon an altimeter for your safety. Your altimeter must only be considered as an aid when checking your altitude.
A visual cross reference with the ground should be used in combination with any altimeter.
