The Altimeter provides you with:
•
An adjustable unit of measure either meter or feet: meter range -500 to 9000; ft range -
1,600 to 29500;
•
A resolution of 1m or 3ft;
•
A display up-date on the rate of vertical movement in intervals of 1 second for 3 minutes,
then every 10 seconds or less;
•
A logbook, recording 99 single logs including the total ascent, total descent, number of
runs, and the duration of the log.

Altimeter-Barometer use feature
To view and use the Altimeter function:
Press the [MODE] button until the indicator is directly below ALTI.
In the ALTIMETER mode the fields display data as shown in Fig. 3.1:
a) The vertical ascent or descent rate in meters or feet per min;
b) The current altitude in increments of 1 meters or 3 feet (depending on the unit of meas-
ure selected);
c) Altimeter mode and altimeter use indicator;
d) The current time; and
e) The outer circumference of the LCD graphically displays lit segments representing the
altitude over a full thousand meters or feet (one complete circle is equivalent to 1000 m or
1000 ft)
