Zeroing the ALTITRACK

The Altitrack automatically adjusts to local elevation. If the pointer is not at zero before a jump, manual zeroing is required.

2. When the green ACCESS indicator light illuminates, press and hold the Left Front Button again until the light turns off.
3. When the ACCESS indicator illuminates again, release the button.
4. Use the Right Front Button or Left Front Button to move the pointer to "0". The LCD will display "0" altitude.

Jump Mode

Shortly after takeoff, an "airplane icon" ✈️ will flash on the digital display, indicating the unit has entered Jump Mode. This mode remains active for 5 hours if no jump is made, after which the Altitrack recalibrates to the current local elevation.

Main Display

After landing, jump data is displayed on the LCD. You can scroll through previous jumps using the Left Front Button ◀️ and Right Front Button ▶️.

The display shows:

• Jump number
• Freefall time
• Speeds (Average, Maximum, Minimum)
• Exit altitude
• Deployment altitude
