15 Operating Instructions FLYTEC 4005
Operating philosophy
The philosophy behind all Flytec instruments is to keep everything as simple as possible. This
is why each key has only one function, i.e. a function can be displayed and switched on or off
with each key. In order to alter a function, you press and hold down the relevant function key.
The setting to be changed will then flash and can be altered by pressing and .
The instrument has three operating modes: normal operating mode, setting mode and confi-
guration mode.
Run mode (normal operating mode)
The instrument is in run mode when used in normal operation. In run mode, the instrument will
display your altitude, ascent and the time continuously.
Setting mode (for adjustments)
In setting mode, the most important value can be changed for each display. For example, the
altitude can be set by using the setting mode for altimeter 1.
Enter setting mode for a particular display (e.g. for altimeter 1), by pressing the relevant func-
tion key (e.g. ) and holding it down for about 4 seconds. As soon as you are in setting
mode, the SET indicator will appear in the INDICATOR display. The value to be changed begins
to flash.
In order to return to run mode, press the relevant function key briefly (e.g. )
If no change is made in setting mode for 15 seconds, the instrument returns to run mode.
Option mode (configuration mode)
Option mode allows you to configure the instrument to your requirements and preferences. In
option mode, you can set the parameters for the relevant display or function at various levels.
For example, these can be units or special functions. A precise description of the various set-
tings in option mode is given in the descriptions of the individual functions.
You can enter option mode (in the setting mode of a function) by simulta-
neously pressing the two keys marked “Option” in yellow (Fig. 1). If the
instrument is in option mode, this is confirmed by the OPTION indicator in
the INDICATOR display.
In OPTION mode you can change several parameters. By briefly pressing
the relevant function key (e.g. ) you skip from one level to the next. In
each level you can change one parameter of the relevant function. The level
number will appear each time in the digital vario display.
If no change is made for 15 seconds in option mode, the instrument returns
to run mode.
In order to return to run mode manually, press the two option keys simulta-
neously again (Fig. 1).
