The AltiTech has 8 basic functions and some of these need to be setup before you
can use them. We recommend that you follow the setup directions rst for each
function, then come back and familiarize yourself with its operation.

Changing Modes
The name of the mode displays for 1 second before entering the mode.
B1, at the bottom left, always changes the mode of the AltiTech. The
AltiTech has 8 modes. When you move through the modes with B1, the
AltiTech shows the name of the mode. In order, they are:
TIME
COMP (Compass)
BARO (Barometer)
B1
ALTI (Altimeter)
ALTI DATA (Altimeter Data)
CHRO (Chronograph)
CHRON DATA (Chronograph Data)
ALRM (Alarm)
Reset
Unless the AltiTech was setup when you purchased it, start by resetting it.
Press and hold all 4 buttons at the same time (B1,B2,B3,B4) the screen will turn
mostly black. Now release all 4 buttons and you will hear a beep. The unit will
display test patterns, and then display 12:00.00. You can reset the AltiTech this way
any time you need to, but remember that all your altimeter and chronograph data
will be erased.
