Change settings without a computer
If you want to change the settings: double click and hold the second click for one second. To go to
the desired setting press the button once briefly; with a long press to select/change the setting.
It is very easy to add a buddy at takeoff who also uses a variometer with Flarm. Switch on the XC
Tracer Maxx and the vario of your friend, and wait until both vario's have a GPS fix.
Now go to the settings of Maxx (double click and hold the second click for one second), then go to
the menu "Add Buddy" with short clicks, then select this menu with a long click. Now you will see all
the Flarm devices that are available within a radius of 50m around you. Navigate to the ID of the
buddy with short clicks, and then select this ID with a long click. The ID of the buddy is now saved,
and the radio ID will no longer get displayed.
Go back in selecting "Back", and then check under "Remove Buddy" whether the buddy has been
saved. If you want to remove a buddy you can do this here, just select the buddy you want to remove
and then delete the entry with a long click.
You can add up to 8 buddies in total. If you want to give a buddy a different name than for example
Buddy3 you can do this on the computer by changing the name of the buddy in the config file.
Below "Remove Buddy" you will find the entry "SAR Buddy". Here you can check where your buddies
have been when XC Tracer Maxx has received the last Flarm signal from them. This can be helpful
in search and rescue operations to quickly find a missing paraglider or hang glider.
The remaining entries are self-explanatory.
