User Manual Update 01/14
First of all… please read the Altitron manual! You will find very useful
information, and if you have any further question do not hesitate to contact us.
Misuse might create damage that are not covered by the warranty!
“Freeze” mode in units “out of the box”
IMPORTANT! The Altitron is delivered from the factory in “freeze” mode: battery is installed but in order to
save energy while it’s on the shelf, THE UNIT IS NOT OPERATING! Do not jump your Altitron before waking
it up by pressing a button. If you have just received your Altitron, just press any key to activate it and
configure your preferred settings.
Type selection when replacing the battery
Alkaline battery
Lithium battery
Because of different battery sources now commonly
available, the Altitron needs you to specify which kind of
battery has been installed. This is due because different
technologies have different working voltage, so you need
to specify what’s inside to have accurate information
about the battery lifetime. When you put a battery you
need to choose among Alkaline, Lithium, and
Rechargeable. The Altitron will suggest you what it
“thinks” is being used, but you need to confirm this.
Choose the type of battery you are using changing the
values by pushing UP or DOWN, and confirm by pressing
SELECT. When a battery is new you should generally
confirm just what has been suggested.
You need to confirm the battery type because you might
decide to remove the battery for example in wintertime or
during a long commercial flight, and reinstall the same
battery after that. In this case the battery voltage might
not be the same as new, so the type detection could be
wrong.
Rechargeable battery
A wrong type setting might lead to wrong battery lifetime information. If you make a mistake in selecting the
type of battery in use, you will need to remove it and put it back, selecting again the correct type.
Clock view in stand-by mode
When the Altitron is in standby mode in between
jumps, it’s easier to use it as a watch now with larger
time digits!
Unit information
You can now check the battery voltage after
software version and serial number (see “Unit
information” on the manual).
Air intake
Looking at the Altitron case you will find a small hole on one side: it’s the air intake for the air pressure
sensor. Even if being shielded from humidity and dust, do not introduce anything in it. Electronics inside the
case are protected but the air intake must not be tampered with as this will void the warranty!
