Narrative:
During hush one departure at newark, I misread the altitude for the 22 right&left runways. I dialed in 5000' in the alerter instead of 2500', it read on departure. I believe 2 things were the reason: first, I should have read the departure closer, and secondly, I think they should come out with a separate 'commercial publication' chart for the departure instead of putting it in a small square on another chart.
