6.1

Display

Leaving the glider canopy open in the sun is known to have a magnifying glass effect,
concentrating the sun rays to a smaller area. This can damage the internals of your cockpit,
as well as the display of the LX Traffic Square. Applying excessive heat will make the coating
of the display start to become yellow and bubble (best case scenario), or destroy the device
completely.

This is why it is prudent to always have your canopy, or your instrument panel, covered from
direct sunlight.

6.2

Device housing

Visible external damages to the housing of the LX Traffic Square can void your device from a
warranty repair.

6.3

RJ connectors

RJ connectors on the back of the LX Traffic Square are used for connecting external devices.
If the cable is pulled out, without pressing the plastic security pin, the internals of the LX Traffic
Square’s connector may break and get ripped out. One should always be careful when taking
the cable out, to press the security pin completely.

6.4

MicroSD card reader

The LX Traffic Square features a microSD card reader on the side of the device. The microSD
should always be inserted carefully, not to miss the internal microSD card reader electronics.
Sometimes when taking it out, the microSD card can eject, due to the spring-loaded mecha-
nism inside, so the pilot should take care not to loose the card.
