Can anyone walk me through the baic operations of a Neoxs. Just got one and the instructions are horrible. Maybe someone can write a walk-thru everyone can use.

I don't know how they work and no where on the net could I find instructions. If you say the copy you have sucks it must mean they don’t want anyone to understand how they work.

Ive been jumping my neoxs for about 100 jumps now, and I really like it.
here are some basics, let me know if you want to know anything specific:
it is always on when the battery is in, using some power saving scheme where it still tracks pressure all the time and updates its pressure at ground level setting, so no need to turn it on. if you want to zero it manually you can do that too. if you take it on a commercial flight take the battery out.
to start access just push the center button several times. you will hear bips and a symbol telling the unit is locked. keep pushing until it unlocks.
the unit will show you current free fall alarm settings. at this point pushing left will switch between meters and feets.
push right to change free fall and canopy alarms and other settings. profile will blink. you can go up and down now between 'profile', 'swoop', alram' and 'config'.
profile allows you to set up to five different profiles of freefall alrams and easily switch between them. access profile by pushing the center button while profile is blinking.
at this point up and down will switch between the 5 profiles, right will select the current profile for use, and left will allow you to edit the altitude and time counter free fall alarms for the currently selected profile.
swoop allows you to set canopy alarms. only one set of canopy alarm altitudes is stored in the unit, the one in use. no profiles.
alarm simply allows you to directly set freefall alarms with out using profiles. I would think it is useful if you regularly use all of your profiles and want a different setting for a few jumps without losing any of your profiles.
config allows you to manually zero out the presure at ground level setting, select one of three volume setings, and listen to a demo of all the alarms (>very< loud on the ground).
when you enter config you will see the word 'gnd'. if you push up at this point you will be telling the unit that current pressure levels are to be considered ground level. push center to move on to the next item, vol. now up and down will let you chose a volume level. push center once more to see the word 'snd'. push up now for an alarm demo (loud).
I think that is all there is to it.
