User Manual
1.0 General Guide Thank you for purchasing your new ADC. We recommend reading this manual, and practicing the operations before using your ADC in the field. The ADC is designed to provide you with information essential to your needs. Data such as temperature, wind speed, barometric pressure, altitude and humidity are features specific to four different ADC models: Wind, Summit, Pro and JetSet.
2.0 Care and Maintenance Prevent getting dirt in the ADC propeller. It could clog the mechanism. Avoid exposing this product to extreme heat or extreme cold for an unreasonable amount of time. Avoid severe impacts to the ADC. Store the ADC in a dry place when it is not in use. Clean the ADC with a soft moistened cloth occasionally. DO NOT expose the ADC to strong chemicals such as gasoline and alcohol, as they will damage this product.
