(Only for devices with firmware 2xxx and higher)
X-mode is suitable for use when the take-off location and landing location (drop zone) are the same and a change in the device

this altitude until the dive is completed. The only exceptions are in those cases when the skydiver's landing zone is located at a
different altitude than the aircraft take-off location. For such cases, carefully read the UP-mode or DOWN-mode chapters, where
the specified m functions are detailed and illustrated with diagrams.
