Should you accidentally land in a location 30m higher or lower than the preset landing elevation, switch the device off after
landing and turn it on just before the next dive. The device must always be switched off during transport.

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 m

device can be used in pressurized aircraft providing the conditions below are observed:

a)
The ambient atmospheric pressure (outside the aircraft) must be maintained inside the aircraft up to 450m above the aircraft take-off
location for the Expert and Student device versions and 900m for the Tandem version. At the specified altitudes, the device will be un-
locked, which will be indicated by the disappearance of the centre line on the control unit. Once the altitude lock unlocks, the aircraft
can be pressurized.
b)
The aircraft must not be pressurized to a pressure higher than the ambient atmospheric pressure adequate for an altitude of 450m or
900m. If there are devices present in the aircraft with preset altitude locks for 450m and 900m, the pilot must pressurize the aircraft for
ambient atmospheric pressure at 900m.
c)
If the specified limits are not observed, the device may fail.
