User Manual XC Tracer V1.0
Rev 01 22.2.2016
XC Tracer Firmware Update
Connect XC Tracer to a computer using a Micro USB Cable and once connected, switch the
device on by briefly pressing the red button until you hear a beep-beep-beep. XC Tracer is
now running in USB-MSD (Mass
Storage Device) mode. XC Tracer’s internal Micro SD Card
will appear as an external drive in Windows Explorer or the Mac Finder. Download the
newest firmware for XC Tracer V1.0 from
www.xctracer.com
and copy the new firmware
using drag and drop to the SD card. Now press the red button briefly and the new firmware
will start to be installed. During installation XC Tracer will make a few beeps, then delete the
firmware file from the SD card and finally switch off. The new firmware is now installed and
the device is now ready to use.
Important: The information about the firmware version will only be updated once the device
has been started up in normal flight mode.
If the firmware you copy to the SD card is the same version as the one that is already
installed then XC Tracer will simply delete the firmware
from the SD card. It’s impossible to
install incorrect firmware on the XC Tracer
– all that happens is that the incompatible firmware
remains on the SD card waiting to be deleted by the user.
Troubleshooting
In the rare event that XC Tracer
doesn’t respond when you push the red button, you can
perform a hard-reset by pressing and holding the red button for approximately 1 minute. The
battery will then get disconnected from the electronics. After that you can restart XC Tracer in
flight mode, and the device will be functional again.
Warranty
XC Tracer grants a 24 month warranty for material and workmanship. Unsuitable or improper
use (for example strong impact, water landing, opened enclosure, software modification etc.)
normal wear and tear (battery) are excluded from the guarantee.
