WARNING 

 

The ARES II, even when used as your primary means of maintaining altitude awareness, may fail. Always use your eyes to determine your approximate altitude. 
 

Altimeters may give erroneous readings if you are tumbling or the altimeter is in a burble (wake). Chest mount altimeters are more vulnerable to this problem 
compared to hand/wrist mounted altimeters. If you are in doubt about how this limitation affects your skydiving, consult a licensed instructor 

 

DO NOT use this equipment unless you are currently participating in, or have successfully passed, an approved parachuting or free fall course 
 

Please read ALL instructions carefully prior to use 
 

The ARES II must be switched ON prior to entering the airplane
