Pre-Programmed Flight Profiles
The Eggtimer has 8 pre-programmed flight profiles, in addition to the programming screen. These
are designed so that if you are out in the field and you want to set it up with a fairly standard flight
profile you can do it without having to use a computer. They are accessed by holding the button
down while the Eggtimer is beeping during the programming phase. As you continue to hold down
the button, you will first hear a long tone that confirms that you have entered the pre-programmed
flight selection mode, then you will hear short beeps that will count out the flight profile numbers in
succession. When it beeps out the profile that you want to use, simply release the button. It will
give you a long beep to indicate that it has confirmed your selection, then it will beep out the profile
number before it halts. As with any menu function, you will need to Reset the Eggtimer afterwards
in order to begin a flight.
The pre-programmed flight profiles look like this:
