Turn the decoder on, by pressing the power button. The power led and the lights in front of the case should go on
The BibTag internal clock is extremely accurate when recording timing data. It can be synchronized using time signals from
GPS satellites. This guarantees precise time synchronization between multiple BibTag systems, and gives extreme accuracy
over a long period. MYLAPS recommends to have the GPS connected at all times when operating the device. All date and
time parameters are set via the menu selections on the control panel. See 4.3.1 Operator controls for more information.
NOTE: Never change the time during a race. When the BibTag Decoder is powered down, the clock will no longer be
accurate. After the decoder has started up (this can take a while), the LCD screen should be read "GPS Locked". Click on the
select button to synchronize your decoder to GPS.
