Alti question

[millertime24 8]

If you turn the adjustment wheel on the side of an alti-2 galaxy all the way around 360deg will it completely screw up the reading on the way up to altitude?

Nope. Won't do any harm. It'll work normally.

The secret of skydiving altimeter adjustments is that you aren't really calibrating the altimeter, you are just rotating the entire internal assembly. You can see this for yourself by taking the back cover off an Altimaster Galaxy or similar alti. Think of it as setting the time on the clock by spinning the face instead of moving the hands.

I really wanted to do that but alti-2 says it voids the warranty if anyone but them does it. I just bought it. dont remember if i mentioned that or not.

How would they ever know? The screws you remove to replace the wrist strap are the same screws that hold the case together.
