However I was discouraged from buying the pretty purple Altritron the rigger/shop next door has, because it doesn't have enough contrast. However the review here on dropzone.com says it has some logging properties, might be interesting... The PSI page doesn't have y=the information anymore... If you find that manual, lemme know! All I could find was this: Lightweight: 3 oz. (80 g) Easy to read high contrast LCD (the brighter the light, the higher the contrast!) Easy to set warning altitude on LCD face: 1,500-9,900 ft. (500-3.000 m) Danger zone signal below preset warning signal @ speed exceeding 100 ft/s (30 m/s) Operating altitude: 0 to 6.000 m ( 0 to 20.000 ft) Operating temperature: -25 to +70 °C (-13 to +158 °F) Self-calibration and self-test Last jump exit and opening altitudes calculation Easy to use: set and forget ciel bleu, Saskia Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhreeZone 15 #6 July 29, 2003 Hold both buttons in til lit turns on, hold both till it turns off. you can adjust the blinking bars if you want to but I'd set them as low as possible to keep it from looking like it turned off on you in Freefall. I threw mine away after parts started falling out of mine.Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scottjaco 0 #7 July 31, 2003 I have one!!!! I don't have any trouble seeing it during the day... It's actually more visble than the ALTI's because instead of a needle, it shows a pie! It's very high contrast. But never ever use this thing for a night jump!!!!! you will be screwed!!! OK to turn on/off hold top button. It will self calibrate to zero. to adjust warning alititude, hold top and bottom buttons at the same time until it flashes, then use top and bottom buttons to adjust warning altitude. I have mine set to 3K. If you are landing at a different altitude than where you are taking off then you need to hold both the top and bottom bottons again....as if you were adjusting your warning altitude....but this time hold the bottons LONGER and it will skip past the warning altitude setting. the needle will be flashing 0.... use the top and bottom bottons to enter your LANDING ALTITUDE. when your jump is finished, you can check your jump alitude and your deployement altitude by holding the bottom button. Hold it, and it will show your jump altitude, hit the bottom button a second time and it will show the deployment altitude. scott Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
