Backlight Operation
The Flight Timer includes a LED backlight system
for night visibility. Toggle on and off by pressing the
LIGHT button. If left on, the backlight will
automatically shut itself off after 5 minutes. Prior to
auto shut-off, the backlight will flash ten times to
announce that it is shutting off. Use of the backlight
greatly increases battery drain (see specifications for
details). For extended battery life, avoid excessive
use of the backlight.
Device Reset
The Flight Timer includes a user enabled reset in
case of malfunction. Press and hold NOTE and
START/STOP for several seconds to reset the device.
Under normal use, avoid holding these buttons
simultaneously since the reset clears the clock,
timers and approach memories.
Care
The ASA Flight Timer will provide years of service
if cared for properly. We suggest that you:
1. Avoid drops or shocks to the unit that could
damage the case or screen.
2. Protect your timer from dirt and dust.
3. Cleaning with a damp cloth is OK but never
submerge your timer.
4. Avoid exposure to extreme temperatures. Do
not leave your timer exposed in the aircraft
on sunny days. Take it with you.
