RAMPAGE NAVIGATION HANDLEBAR CONTROLLER

Version 1.7.3

How to operate your RNHC device

If you use the device on its normal functionality, you will use both the App Select Mode as

well as the Ride Mode, while navigating and riding.

Selecting the right app for commands using App Select Mode

Let's start by selecting the app you want to use on your mobile and making sure your

RNHC is sending the right commands.

1. When turning on your unit, using the default code on the project, it will start blank

without any soft app selected. You may see this by the green LED flashing when in

Rider Mode.

2. You can turn your unit on with the App Select Button either in Select Mode or Rider

Mode. The led will indicate the mode it's in. You simply need to flip the Mode switch to

change the mode.

a. If your main LED is flashing GREEN on startup, it means your unit does not

have a soft app selected yet and it is in Rider Mode.

b. If you turn the unit on and the red LED is on without flashing, it means your App

Select Button is on and it's already in a state of waiting for your input to select a

soft app.

3. To select the app for your unit you want to use on your mobile:

a. Switch to App Select Mode

i.

Thus the red LED will be permanently on

b. Choose one of the four pre-programmed apps by pressing the push buttons on

your controller that corresponds to the app number.

i.

The top push button selects app 1 (Locus Maps) the second push button

will select App 2 (Rally Navigator) and so on, for app 3 and app 4.

ii.

In App Select Mode

1. Button 1 sets the controller up to send commands for Locus Maps.

2. Button 2 sets the controller up to send commands for Rally

Navigator.

3. Button 3 sets the controller up to send commands for OsmAnd

Maps.

4. Button 4 sets the controller up to send commands for Piste

Roadbook Reader.

c. Each time you press a push button to select app 1 to 4, depending on the app

you intend using on your mobile device, the main led will flash green the amount

of times according to the app number. This is to indicate the unit has the right

app selected.
