Installing the battery
The Skytronic GFX is never turned off, so it is shipped with the
single CR2450 3V Lithium battery not installed. Expected battery
life is about 18 months, but it really depends on the number of
jumps, time connected to a computer, and time spent not in
stand-by mode. If you’re planning not to use the unit for some
time (like during Wintertime, for example) we suggest to remove
the battery to save battery life. Replace the battery when the
low-battery indicator turns on (please note that extreme cold
weather may falsely activate this indicator!). If the low-battery
signal turns on at temperatures above 50°F (10°C) the battery
needs immediate replacement. To install or replace the battery
follow these steps:
1. Remove the battery compartment cover by rotating it counter-
clockwise with a coin. Be careful not to lose the rubber ring at
the top of the battery compartment -- it must be installed for all
jumps!
