From the manual:

RV5 Radar altimeter.
The button on the left is used to set the green index during
approach to circling altitude and later to the decision height. It
triggers the ‘H’ signal light with corresponding sound when the
radar altitude passes this altitude.
........
There are two altimeters on board, the digital
altimeter and the conventional altimeter.
