The Check Status Menu
The first menu that you will see when you start up is the Check Status menu. This shows you
several things about your Eggtimer TRS unit:
• Battery voltage
• Drogue channel continuity
• Main channel continuity
To select the Display Status menu, PRESS the button from the Main Menu screen when you see
this screen:
• PRESS button for 1 second and release to select…
If either deployment channel is enabled but there is no continuity, you will get a beep alert and
the channel will flash until you have fixed the problem. You CANNOT continue a flight if either
deployment channel is not consistent with the state of the channel selection.
There are actually two places where you may see this screen, the first one is when you select it
from the Main Menu, and the second one is right before you arm the TRS to start a flight. This
gives you two opportunities to fix a deployment problem before you start a flight. The Eggtimer
TRS will NOT allow to you to arm the unit to start a flight if one of the deployment channels is
not ready. This is to prevent you from getting a nasty surprise when your drogue channel doesn’t
fire and your main does, or even worse when neither channel fires.
