Vario integration

The vario integration is as such not part of any profile and is therefore set as a global value. This value
may be adjusted from 1 to 60 seconds. Though the default setting is 10 seconds, it may be useful to
adjust the averaging interval to a longer setting. A good strategy is to set the numeric vario averaging
interval to at least the time it takes you to turn a complete circle when thermalling: approximately 15
seconds or longer.

You can raise or lower the frequency of the lowest climb tone to hear overall higher or lower pitched
beeps. The default ist 800 Hz.

Audio mode

Choose between two settings:
Always or
In flight.
When in the default mode of Always, the Element Alto will emit vario tones whenever it is switched on
(and you have the audio volume level above "mute"). It can be inconvenient to hear tones when
preparing your gear for flight or if you want to use your Element Alto to record hike-and-fly adventures,
for instance, because you won't want to hear vario tones while you walk through nature. Selecting In
Flight ensures that the Element Alto will only emit vario tones after it detects your take-off.
When your vario is set to In flight audio mode, you can still get a vario sound by briefly pressing the
loudspeaker key. You will have vario sound for the next 20 seconds, then your Element Alto will be silent
again until it detects a take-off.
