CHAPTER 3 ALTIMETER MODE

The Altimeter mode provides the user with:

• an adjustable unit of measure either meter or feet: meter range -500 to 9,000; ft range -1,600 to 29,500;

• a resolution of 5m or 10ft;

• a display up-date on the rate of vertical movement in intervals of 1 second for 3 minutes, then every 10

seconds or less;

• an automatic 24-hour memory in one hour intervals showing altitude and vertical ascent/descent rate; and

• a logbook, recording approximately 3800 sets of data (one set = altitude, vertical ascent/descent rate and

time).

To view and use the Altimeter mode:

Check the Mode Indicator Bar. If the mode arrow is not on ALTI, PRESS the [Mode] button until the arrow is

directly below ALTI on the bar.

In the ALTIMETER mode (Fig. 1):

• Field 1 displays the vertical ascent or descent rate;

• Field 2 displays the current altitude in increments of 5 meters or 10 feet (depending on the unit of measure

selected); and

• Field 3 displays the current time.

• The Outer Circumference graphically displays the altitude in hundreds of meters or feet over a full thousand

where one complete circle is equivalent to 1000.

IMPORTANT NOTE: IN ORDER TO SET THE ALTITUDE IN THE ALTIMETER MODE, THE ALTITUDE MUST

BE KNOWN. THAT INFORMATION CAN BE FOUND BY UTILIZING A TOPOGRAPHICAL MAP, IDENTIFYING

THE CURRENT LOCATION WITH THE ASSOCIATED ALTITUDE MARKED. THE USER CAN PROCEED

AND FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS, SETTING THE ALTIMETER, PROVIDED IN THE SECTION BELOW.
