WARNING

The

ALTISET II,

and all compatible units, are intended to be a backup device and must not be relied upon as your primary means of maintaining altitude awareness.

Use the

ALTISET II

, and all compatible units, at your own risk

Altimeters may give erroneous readings if you are tumbling or the altimeter is in a burble (wake). Chest mount altimeters are more vulnerable to this problem

compared to hand/wrist mounted altimeters. If you are in doubt about how this limitation affects your skydiving, consult a licensed instructor

DO NOT use this equipment unless you are currently participating in, or have successfully passed, an approved skydiving course

Please read ALL instructions carefully prior to use

Any

ALTISET II

compatible unit must be switched

prior to entering the airplane
