Power ON

The ALTITRACK has been powered OFF prior to shipping from our factory. To turn the power ON, press and hold any button until the unit beeps, then release the button. The ALTITRACK runs a self-test and moves the pointer from ”6” to zero. The unit displays “Logbook screen # 1”. (Main information)” on the LCD.

The ALTITRACK uses very little battery power and does not need to be switched OFF. However, we recommend that you switch OFF the ALTITRACK when traveling on commercial flights, when driving in mountanious areas and when the jump season is over. To power OFF, see manual.

Road Map
It is recommended that you familiarize yourself with the ALTITRACK ROAD MAP which is a very helpful tool when using the ALTITRACK for the first time.

ALTITRACK Settings
The ALTITRACK can be customised to your personal settings.
The Factory default settings are as follows

If you want to customise each setting, please read the manual. If you only want to customise the most important settings prior to the first jump (your total number of jumps, Time and Date), please go to section ”Customising the ALTITRACK Settings” in this Quick Start Guide.
Otherwise, continue reading below.

Zeroing the ALTITRACK

Explanation:
The ALTITRACK continuously adjusts itself to the local elevation and the pointer is at the zero “0” position. If the pointer is not within one width from “0” prior to jumping, the unit has not yet adjusted itself to the local elevation and it must be manually zeroed.

To manually zero the ALTITRACK you must first perform ACCESS:

Press the Left Front Button and release quickly
When the green ACCESS indicator light on the front of the ALTITRACK dial illuminates, immediately press the Left Front Button again and keep it pressed (ACCESS indicator light goes OFF)
When the ACCESS indicator illuminates again, release the button immediately

Then move the pointer to “0” by using the Right Front Button or Left Front Button. The unit is now zeroed and the LCD displays “0” altitude.

Note: The ALTITRACK goes out of ACCESS if no button has been pressed within 5 sec. Note: When performing zeroing the ALTITRACK enters Jump Mode (see chapter ”Jump Mode”) and remains in Jump Mode for 5 hours, if no jump is made. After 5 hours the ALTITRACK recalibrates to its current local elevation.
