Wording question

Hi folks,

Here below you'll find two sentences from our OM. They follow each other and one of them is obviously wrong.
Could a native english speaker tell me which one?

The true meaning of both sentences is: Above a certain altitude the autopilot can be either on or off but below that altitude, it must be off. I.e. the last phase of the approach must be done manually.

But which one says it correctly?

In a single channel ILS approach, the autopilot must be disengaged at or below 140 FT ARTE.
In an approach using V/S mode, the autopilot must be disengaged at or above 300 FT ARTE.

Thanks for your help,

Dan.
