Power ON (after Power OFF)
The PROTRACK2 has been powered OFF prior to shipping from our factory. To turn
the power ON, press and hold any key until the unit beeps, then release the
key.
- In “Ground Mode” and if “ECO Mode” is enabled, the PROTRACK II automatically switches OFF 14 hours after the last jump or 14 hours after pressing any key, whichever comes last.
- The PROTRACK II can also be manually powered OFF from the Setup Window, to further extend the battery life when not in use.
- Note: When switched OFF the PROTRACK II cannot be used for jumping. Customer settings are not lost when switched OFF.
Power ON
- The PROTRACK II has been powered OFF prior to shipping from our factory.
- To turn the power ON, press and hold any key until the unit beeps, then release the key.
- The PROTRACK II runs a self-test and sounds three beeps as it flashes the screen two times. It then displays a “Device Info” screen.
- Battery capacity in mVolt Barometric Pressure in mbar (hPa) Temperature (Celsius or Fahrenheit) Free logbook storage in %Firmware Version
Ground Mode.
To save battery power, after power up and shortly after landing the PROTRACK II enters “Ground mode”. In this mode, 60 seconds after last button pressed, the screen display will switch OFF. However, the PROTRACK II is still ready for jumping.
Flight Mode
Shortly after takeoff the PROTRACK II switches to “Flight Mode” and displays the “Flight Mode” window. At the lowest preset “Climb to Altitude” (factory preset to 1,000 feet), the PROTRACK II sounds a sequence of beeps. These beeps have two functions:
- The beeps indicate that the PROTRACK II has calibrated itself to the local ground elevation and is ready to jump.
- The number of beeps indicates the altitude at which the high speed warning alarm is set; for example: If set to 4,500 feet, the signal will sound: beep-beep-beep-beep-(pause)-beep. The number of rapid-sequence of beeps indicates the highest warning altitude in thousands of feet. The beep after a pause (if any), signifies a 500-foot altitude increment. Should the battery voltage of the PROTRACK II show low capacity, the beep sequence is followed by 5 short beeps. This indicates that the batteries should be replaced.
To avoid any unintentional changes in settings, all settings are “locked” behind an ACCESS procedure. Access* is required to unlock and change any settings
