should charge the battery before your first flight (see Quick start on page 13).

New real-time variometer technology
For users of the SKYTRAXX 2.0 and other flight instruments, the first thing
they notice with the new model is the quick reaction of the real-time varios.
After time, the other great advantages of the new vario technology within the
SKYTRAXX 3.0 become clear and never before have thermals been so easy to
navigate.
