User Manual XC Tracer Maxx
Rev 02 4.6.2020
Change settings without a computer
If you want to change or view the settings: press the button twice in quick succession (like a double
click on a computer) and hold the second click for roughly one second. To get to the desired setting
press the button once briefly; with a long press select/change the setting.
If you want to add a buddy who also uses a variometer with FLARM at the launch site, it's very easy:
Switch on the XC Tracer Maxx and the friend's vario, and wait until both varios have a GPS fix and
you can start.
Now go to the settings of your 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
your buddy with short clicks, and then select this ID with a long click. The ID of your buddy is now
saved, and the radio ID will no longer get displayed.
Go back by selecting "Back", and then check under "Remove Buddy" whether the buddy has been
added. 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.
