sjonak 0 #1 June 2, 2002 I've got about a dozen Bird jumps and my ProTrack keeps shutting down. It tells me I deploy between 9000 and 10,000 feet--which is obviously wrong since I throw out at four thousand. I've taken to using a stopwatch to time my freefalls--which have been around 110 seconds from 13,000. Anyone else having this problem? Is there a fix for it or do I have an old ProTrack with an out-of-date operating system? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vesatoro 0 #2 June 3, 2002 I think you have an old software version that is fooled by your slow vertical speed while flying a wingsuit. Maybe you should contact to L&B to find out if it can be updated.Vesa Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cpoxon 0 #3 June 4, 2002 You may have an older version of a ProTrack which can be fooled by wingsuits. Having said that, even the latest versions of ProTracks can be fooled in the default Dive Type mode. You need to set it to SLO mode so that the parameters which define being under a canopy are lower.The online manual seems to be a bit out of date and I don't have a later one to hand, but the process is the same.Switch on the ProTrack.Press the Mode button until you reach SET windowPress the Set button The first Set Selector should be Dive Type. Press the Mode button until it says SLO (number 10)Press the Set button until you reach OUT and the press the Mode button or you can just let the unit switch itself off.If you don't had a SLO mode then, like vesa said, contact Larsen & Brusgaard and see what they can do for you.

Craig, I have a funny though. Sometimes, when I do a speed dive I slow down up to 40ish mph (41 mph is the slowest captured by my ProTrack). Can that fool ProTrack and make it shutdown or skip the second alarm ? What if I do speed dives with SLO mode ?
