Setting the altitude offset on your TACTICAL ALFA LB Military Altimeter is straightforward. Here's how:
-
Access Altitude Offset: Begin by pressing and holding the specific button designated for accessing the Altitude Offset function on your device for about 5 seconds. This will bring you to the adjustment screen.
-
Adjust the Offset: Use the provided buttons to fine-tune the altitude offset. If your take-off elevation is higher than your landing zone, set a positive offset. Conversely, if your take-off elevation is lower, set a negative offset. The key is to account for the elevation difference.
-
Confirm Your Setting: Once you've entered the correct offset, press the confirmation button to save your changes. The main display will then show the adjusted offset. Note that negative offsets will typically flash on the display.
-
Confirm Quickly: Remember to confirm your altitude offset within 15 seconds after making any changes. If you don't press a button within this timeframe, the setting will revert.
-
Additional Tip: When utilizing the Altitude Offset during a jump, it's wise to cross-reference with your aircraft's altimeter for the most reliable readings. Alternatively, you can input the absolute air pressure for your landing zone directly into the device for highly accurate results. Following these steps ensures your TACTICAL ALFA LB Military Altimeter provides precise altitude readings, crucial for every jump.
