ALTIMETER ALTIMETER
Because the ALTIMETER system in the Alterra/Aerial relies on Barometric Pressure for its
measurements, it is critical that you regularly calibrate the unit to a known altitude. For maximum
accuracy, daily calibration is a must. If you are using the unit during times of changeable weather, the
unit may need to be calibrated more often. Generally, the small pressure changes experienced during a
day of use will have only a minor effect on the accuracy of the unit, however, the arrival or departure of
a weather front can change the current weather display by several hundred feet or more.

12. There are two altitude memory displays showing the MAXIMUM ALTITUDE and
ACCUMULATED ASCENT since the last time the memory was cleared. Clear each memory
using the S1 or S2 key and advance from the MAXIMUM (HIGH) to the ACCUMULATED (ACC)
memories using the S4 key.
13. Exit the ALTIMETER CALIBRATION sequence using a QUICK PRESS of the S5 key.
SETTING THE ALTIMETER PRESETS
The Alterra/Aerial is equipped with three altimeter preset locations. Preset Locations are useful in
the daily calibration process. If you know the exact altitude of a particular place, you can preset your
Alterra/Aerial to this location for quick calibration.

5. Choose the Location you would like to set. QUICK PRESS the S4 key to set that Location’s
altitude. The LOCATION’S ALTITUDE will appear flashing in the center line of the display.
6. Adjust the ALTITUDE UP and DOWN using the S1 and S2 keys.
7. Exit the ALTIMETER PRESET sequence using a QUICK PRESS of the S5 key.
8. Follow steps 1 through 7 in order to set the remaining location presets.
RECALLING ALTIMETER PRESETS

2. PRESS & HOLD the S5 key to enter the setting sequence.
3. “REAL” will display on the screen. QUICK PRESS the S4 key and
the CURRENT ALTITUDE will appear flashing in the center line of
the display
4. Adjust the current altitude up and down using the S1 and S2 keys.
5. Set the altitude and advance to Activating the Altitude Alarm using
the S4 key.
The Alterra and Aerial are equipped with an Altitude Alarm which
will sound to warn you if you exceed a preset altitude.
6. Turn the ALTITUDE ALARM ON or OFF using the S1 or S2 key.
7. Set your choice using the S4 key.
8. If you choose “ON" , the ALARM ALTITUDE will appear flashing
in the center line of the display with ALTI and ALM in the top and
lower lines.
9. Set the ALARM ALTITUDE using the S1 key to increase and the
S2 key to decrease.
10. When the ALARM ALTITUDE is active, a small icon ( ) will be
shown on the Altimeter screen. When active, the Altitude Alarm
will sound any time you exceed the programmed altitude.
11. Advance to the ALTITUDE MEMORY displays using the S4 key.
