Count-up timer (stopwatch function)

0:00.
Count-down timer (timer function)
In the left-hand minutes fi eld you can select a starting
time within the range 0 to 180 minutes; in the right-hand

nation of times can also be selected.
Simultaneously pressing the cd buttons of the right-
hand four-way button (CLEAR) resets any settings you

If you now operate the assigned switch, the stopwatch
starts from the set initial value, counting down (“Timer
function”). When the set time has elapsed, the timer
does not stop, but continues to run to allow you to read
off the time elapsed after reaching zero. To make this
clear, the over-run time is shown highlighted (black
background).

Phase 2
You will automatically be in the “normal” fl ight phase 1
unless you have already assigned a switch to phase 2 or
auto-rotation.
Both the number and name of this fl ight phase are fi xed
permanently as “normal”, and cannot be changed. For
this reason the “normal” phase is simply concealed, i. e.
it is not displayed as phase 1.

It is also important to understand that the fl ight phases
have their own inherent priorities which need to be ob-
served, particularly when assigning individual switches.
The underlying scheme can be described as follows:
If all assigned fl ight phase switches are closed or •
open, the “normal” fl ight phase is active.
If only one switch is closed, then the fl ight phase as-•
signed to the currently closed switch is active.
The “auto-rotation phase” ALWAYS has precedence •
over all other fl ight phases, regardless of the priori-
ties outlined above. When the auto-rotation phase
is selected, the switch is always made WITHOUT
DELAY.
