Press 3 sec.
Option-Mode Vario
Press the Vario Key for three seconds while in Set-Mode to
bring the instrument into Option-Mode.
Option 1:
Unit [Set units]
Use the Arrow Keys to set the units for the digital vario display
here. The options are meters per second (m/s) or hundred feet
per minute (ft/min x100).
Short press
Option 2:
d-Int [Digital Integrator]
Use the Arrow Keys to set the averager period for the digital
vario. The range is from one second to 30 seconds.
Option 3:
Audio [Audio threshold]
Use the Arrow Keys to set the threshold for the climb tone. The
level can be set from 4 to 100 ft/min, and is displayed on the
analog vario scale (each segment on the scale equals 4 ft/min).
The example on the left shows a setting of 12 ft/min. This
means the vario will start beeping when your climb rate reaches
12 ft/min.
Short press
Option 4:
Audio Pitch
Short press
As your climb rate increases, the speed and frequency of the
vario beep increase proportionally. The rate of this change can
be adjusted with the pitch setting. The setting range is 3 to 11
meters per second, corresponding to a climb rate of
approximately 600 to 2,200 feet per minute. In the graph
below, a pitch setting of 5 has been selected which means that
the speed and frequency of the acoustic vario beeping will be at
its limit at a climb rate of 5m/s (1000 ft/min).

Use the Arrow Keys to switch the Audio Scale Indication ON or
OFF. With ASI turned on there will be two styles of vario audio
beeping, one for 200-400, 600-800 ft/min ranges and one for 0-
200, 400-600, 800-1000 ft/min ranges. With the change in
acoustic style you will be alerted when you improve your climb
rate (e.g., when you increase you climb rate from 190 ft/min to
210 ft/min.)
