Power ON
The ALTITRACK has been powered OFF prior to shipping from our factory. To turn the
power ON, press and hold any button until the unit beeps, then release the button.
The ALTITRACK runs a self-test and moves the pointer from "6" to zero.
The unit displays "Logbook screen # 1". (Main information)" on the LCD.
The ALTITRACK uses very little battery power and does not need to be switched OFF.
However, we recommend that you switch OFF the ALTITRACK when traveling on
commercial flights, when driving in mountanious areas and when the jump season is
over. To power OFF, see manual.
Road Map
It is recommended that you familiarize yourself with the ALTITRACK ROAD MAP which

is a very helpful tool when using the ALTITRACK for the first time.

Zeroing the ALTITRACK
Explanation:
The ALTITRACK continuously adjusts itself to the local elevation and the pointer is
at the zero "0" position. If the pointer is not within one width from "0" prior to

jumping, the unit has not yet adjusted itself to the local elevation and it must be
manually zeroed.
To manually zero the ALTITRACK you must first perform ACCESS:
1. Press the Left Front Button and release quickly
2. When the green ACCESS indicator light on the front of the ALTITRACK dial
illuminates, immediately press the Left Front Button again and keep it
pressed (ACCESS indicator light goes OFF)
3. When the ACCESS indicator illuminates again, release the button immediately
Then move the pointer to "0" by using the Right Front Button or Left Front Button.
The unit is now zeroed and the LCD displays "0" altitude.
