Mounting Your AltimeterThree
Using the Tether Point
The slot at the nose of the altimeter can be used with string, plastic ties,
leather straps, rubber bands, or Velcro
place during flight.
Here are some things you should keep in mind as you mount
AltimeterThree:
1.
Protect the altimeter from moisture (it is NOT water-resistant). Put it
in a plastic bag if it might rain or encounter water.
2.
Shelter it from strong direct airflow. You will notice more "bumpiness"
in your altitude graphs when pressure waves caused by turbulence
disturb the altimeter. Consider wrapping it with a bit of fabric to
buffer it somewhat from airflow. Do not worry that fabric will "block"
the pressure sensor—it won't.
3.
Make sure it's secure. Don't tie it to something that might also fall off.
Give it its own secure attachment.
It may take a little trial-and-error to achieve the optimal mounting method
for your AltimeterThree. Look for best practices on online bulletin boards
and social media sites; people often share setups which have worked well
for them.
Using Optional Mounts
Jolly Logic and selected resellers also offer optional mounts (like the Jolly
Logic Snap Mount) for AltimeterThree. These mounts provide convenient
ways to quickly snap or attach AltimeterThree to whatever you are flying.
Check the Jolly Logic website for more tips.

Recharging
Plug the AltimeterThree cable into any USB port to recharge, or (if you
have one) you can use your own Micro-B USB charger. If you don't see a
light when you plug it in, the USB port must not have power. Try another
one.
Red Light
Your altimeter is charging correctly. Recharging
should be complete in less than 2 hours.
Green Light
Your altimeter is 100% charged.
Red + Green Light
Problem! Either this USB port is not providing
enough power, or your battery has a problem.
