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.
WARNING !
! Make sure that you fully understand the
functions and limitations of the ADC
before relying on it.
! The ADC is an assisting device for the
outdoor user, and is not a substitute for
weather advisories from a weather
station. It is helpful to check the
readings provided by this product
periodically with those broadcasted by
the weather station.

Each ADC model is constructed to withstand

water submersion and is ideal for conditions
you endure during outdoor activities such as
hiking, climbing, hunting, kayaking, skiing,
and racing. Every ADC also includes current
time, daily alarm, chronograph and race
timer functions. ADCs are equipped with a
propeller and other precise sensors to
measure outdoor conditions.
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.
