In Present Mode, the hunting prediction meter and bar graph show the intensity of deer/elk
activity at present and up to 4 hours in the future. In Future Mode, activity for a certain date
and time is shown, based only on future sun/moon information.
If you travel over a large distance and/or significantly change altitude, you must re-set the
pertinent parameters after reaching your destination. Wait at least one hour for an accurate
hunting prediction.
ALTIMETER
In the Altimeter mode, the current altitude will be shown in either feet or meters. Keep in mind
that altitude is a function of barometric pressure and will change accordingly. For example, a
low pressure weather system will make the unit think that it is at a higher altitude. A high
pressure system has the opposite effect.
COMPASS
To calibrate your compass, put the Speedtech DeerHunter’s EDGE in compass mode. Press and
hold SET/Backlight till CAL blinks. Put the unit on a flat surface or hold it so the LCD is
horizontal, and slowly rotate the instrument 2 times in a full circle. Then press SET. This will
adjust it for deviation. The compass is dampend and is accurate to +/- 5°.
NOTE: You should take at least 30 seconds for each full rotation and this function should be
done in a magnetic-free environment. For example: do not try to calibrate the unit next to a
computer, in a motorized vehicle, or next to appliances operation on 60-cylce current.
TEMPERATURE
Put the unit in temperature mode. The actual temperature (wherever the unit is located) is
displayed. If you want to input a different temperature (of the location where you plan to hunt),
to achieve a more accurate hunting prediction, press and hold SET until the temperature blinks.
Change the temperature using the +/- buttons. Press SET. To see any change in the hunting
?prediction, return to the current time mode. The estimated selection will end automatically
after 5 minutes and default to the actual temperatue. The prediction, based on the estimated
temperature, will display for 5 minutes, during which the deer head icon will flash.
HOW TO SET THE FUTURE MODE
The future mode allows you to preview the hunting prediction on a certain date and time. You
will be able to change the time zone, etc. separately in FUTURE mode without modifying your
initial set up parameters. To enter the parameters for the future forecast:
1. Press TIME to display the future mode.
2. Press and hold SET. The hour digits will blink.
3. Use UP or DOWN to enter the hours.
4. Press SET. The minute digits will blink.
5. Use UP or DOWN to enter the minutes.
6. Press SET. The month digits will blink.
7. Follow the same pattern to enter the month, day and year and press SET each time.
8. Time zone will blink. Use +/- buttons to change. Press SET.
