Switching the device on into DOWN-mode
If the landing location is lower than the take-off location, it is necessary to reset the device for the altitude difference in advance. The
m
2
allows
for upward adjustments between 10 m to 990 m (10 to 2,990 ft). If your device is in the meter version, you will be entering three positions. If
your device is in the feet version, you will be entering four positions. The last position is always zero. All positions must be entered, including
the zeros in the initial positions, if those are zeros. If you enter all zeros, the memory will retrieve the values last used in the DOWN mode.
Example of the procedure in feet:
The take-off location, device activation and calibration before jumping are at an altitude of 1,200 feet above sea level. The planned
landing area after diving is at an altitude of 560 feet above sea level. The elevation difference is 1,200 - 560 = 640 feet. Because the
version in feet requires the entering of four positions, the initial zero has to be entered as well.
Therefore, because four positions need to be entered for the feet version, you will enter the number 0640.
First, switch off the
m
2
. Shortly press the control button (2) on the control unit body (1). Upon the
icon being displayed (3) immediately
press the button for a second time, the
icon will be displayed; immediately press the button for a third time, the
icon will be
displayed; do not press anything now, wait. After a short time, the
icon will be displayed; and next, the
icon. Immediately press
the button for the fourth time and the digits 0, 1, 2, …. 8, 9 will sequentially show up on the display. Pressing the button upon digit 0 being
displayed will preset 0 x 1000 ft. Then the digits 0, 1, 2, …. 8, 9 will again be displayed. Pressing the button upon digit 5 being on the display
will add a further 6 x 100 ft. Then the digits 0, 1, 2, …. 8, 9 will again be displayed. Pressing the button upon digit 5 being on the display will
add a further 4 x 10 ft. The display will show 0. Press the button and the setting is confirmed. The display will automatically sequentially
show the icons “-“ “2“ “5“ “0“ “-“ (three digits in the meter version) for your verification and the device will complete the auto-test and
calibration – flashing icon
. It will then display the
icon, notifying that the device is now preset for the lower landing altitude.
If the height presetting sequence is not properly completed, the device will go back into the OFF mode.
The accuracy of the entered value can be checked in the menu under the letter „c“ - Correction.
