ascent/descent), all decreasing values go counterclockwise from the center position, and all increasing values
go clockwise. So, it is "minus" to the left (counterclockwise), and "plus" to the right (clockwise).
5.1.5. why are there two symbols above the Mode Indicator bar
and what do they mean?

two, or three daily alarms are activated.

5.2.1. why do the segments on the circumference increase and
decrease when I am in the Time mode?
In the time mode, the segments show the advancement of seconds. Because the number of seconds differs
from the number of degrees, it is impossible for the segments to be consecutively lit up; they now light up or
extinguish, thereby marking the passing of every second.

5.2.2. what is the longest time I can set in the timer?

the maximum range of the countdown timer is 23 hours 59 minutes and 59 seconds.

5.3.1. how do you clear the logbook?

the logbook is self-erasing and cannot be cleared by the user.

5.3.2. how does the logbook self-erase?

The logbook is circular and will start erasing itself when all the memory places are filled. There are approx. 3,800
memory places, each of which contain the altitude as well as the ascent/descent rate at that time (according
to the chosen interval, 20 seconds, 1 minute, 10 or 60 minutes).
When all the memory places are filled, the logbook starts recording new logs on top of the oldest recordings.
this is what is meant when we say the logbook is "self-erasing".
