Quick Guide

Switch the Micro Alti on by sliding the switch on the right side toward the top 

corner. The Micro Alti will cycle through the display and bleep when it is ready. 

Charge the Micro Alti via the USB socket if it doesn’t function.
This manual will begin with a brief introduction to each function and a full 

description is given later in the manual. Time, altitude and other displays show 

examples of  typical readings.
To begin exploring the Micro Alti, press 

each button and take a look at the menus. 

The displayed functions can be adjusted by 

pressing each button for about 2 seconds. 
So, Short key presses are used to select the functions and and long  key presses  

affect the functions associated with each button.  
Note that when the altimeter is displayed it won’t respond to very brief key presses, 

this avoids inadvertent operation when you are flying. 
Miscellaneous functions such as Averager, G-Meter, Temperature etc. are 

accessed from the SET button and changes to how the Micro Alti responds; 

Volume, Thresholds, Units etc. are accessed with a long initial press on the 

SET button. To do this you may have to leave the SET menu by pressing ALTI 

or TIMER, then press SET for 2 seconds. Most of the items on this menu can be 

adjusted with the TIMER and ALTI buttons, this is shown in the manual and on 

the Micro Alti as: v and

To finish, keep pressing the SET button to reach the end of the menu.
