To select on the multifunction display the charge of the batteries press the
or
keys, the value is represented by the writing “

Volt.
N.B. The VL100 cuts out when its charge is below 1,9 Volt.

When the autonomy of the batteries comes down under 20 hours, a flashing “low
bat” message is displayed on the multifunction display.
Your new Vl100 Graviter has the ability to automatically manage different kinds of
navigation: - normal FAI sector waypoint navigation and start pylon waypoint
navigation. Automatically acquire the waypoints from the GPS as explained in
paragraph 3.11.
The choice of navigation mode cam be selected through parameter n.1 SPMO
from the NAV sub menu. To select this function, use a long pressure on the
button which allows you to access the menu, then press

4 GPS Navigation
.
4.1 FAI cilinder waypoint Navigation (SPMO=0)
Step 1 - NO WAYPOINT ON
Step 2 - WAYPOINT ACQUISITION
Step 3 - APPROACHING
Make sure that VL100 doesn’t have any waypoint kept in memory (waypoint name
memory = NOPW), on the contrary it must be cancelled (see waypoint
cancellation).
When VL100 receives a go-to for a waypoint from the GPS (as in GOTO or ROUTE
mode), it records (in the VL100’s own memory) the waypoint name and its co-
ordinates and starts to calculate the distance between itself and the waypoint. It is
good to check before take off that the waypoint name display shows the desidered
waypoint (ex.: display waypoint name = “lak2”).
When we enter the “approaching a waypoint zone” i.e. when we reach a certain
distance from a FAI cylinder (set via par.3 NEAR in the NAV submenu), on the
multifunction display appears:
- the message “NEAR” added to an acoustic signal
- the hang glider symbol, placed in the middle of the direction indicator, starts to
until you reach the
NAV submenu. Press
