Description of the main screen symbols 

The  CLIMB/DESCENT  indicator  (up  and  down  arrows)  is  located  in  the  left  corner  of  the 

main  screen.  This  indicator  reflects  the  current  state  of  the  aircraft.  If  the  vertical  velocity  is 

zero, then  two contour arrows are displayed one above  the other 

. In the case of positive 

vertical velocity, the top arrow is filled with color 

, if the vertical velocity is negative, then 

the bottom arrow is painted over 

Just to the right of the upper arrow is a numerical indicator of the variometer value. 

The next is the symbol of the vario signal 

. This symbol is displayed only when the vario 

beeper works. Even if you turn off the sound and light indication, this symbol will continue to 
be  displayed  on  the  screen  when  climb/descent.  The  difference  from  the  arrow  indicator, 

mentioned  above,  is  that  the  indicator 

  has  the  ability  to  adjust  the  threshold,  as  well  as 

light and sound indication. For details, refer to "MENU 2" and "MENU 3". 

Next  to  the  right  in  the  top  line  is  displayed  the  vario  sound  ON/OFF  indicator 

 

("Button 3" long press to change the state). 

The last in the top line is the indicator of flight time, measured in minutes 

. The time 

starts  counting  when  the  device  is  turned  on.  Resetting  the  timer  is  done  by  long  pressing 
"Button 1". 

In the second line to the right of the lower arrow of the variometer stands the symbol of 

the  chosen  altitude  (

).  Switching  of  altitudes  is  made  by  short  pressing  of 

"Button  2".  Zeroing  of  the  selected  altitude  is  made  by  long  pressing  of  "Button  2".  The 
absolute altitude can also be set by direct entering the value of the  pressure at the sea level 
(refer to "MENU 1"). 

Next to the right is the value of the selected altitude in meters. 

The last in the bottom line is an indicator of the air temperature in degrees Celsius 

.
