Compass - LXNAV LX80XX User Manual

Operating Modes
Competition mode is intended only for competitions. If this mode is enabled the pilot will
not be able to see any Flarm data on the navigational screens. The competition mode
status is recorded in the IGC file and can be checked during scoring.
If you are flying in a competition it is sufficient to turn on Competition mode.
However if you do not want other aircraft to see you, you should switch mode to
Privacy ON.
Reduce warnings will significantly reduce Flarm warnings. Use this option if you are flying
in gaggles or areas with high density of other aircraft.
We recommend you sign in at FLARMNET.org. This is free of charge. Registering
with FLARMNET allows others to see you not only with Device ID but also with
your contest number and name. Refer to Chapter 6.2.1.9.
Send declaration check box is available only when external Flarm is connected. Check this
option, if you want that task declaration is automatically transferred to Flarm.
No tracking will disable tracking mode. If set, receiving ground stations do not process or
store position data of aircraf
You can also see your flarm serial number, version and obstacles loaded (if they are
loaded).
Flarm internal number can be seen in the last row, next to the current SW
version. Internal number will not appear immediately after powering on the main
device, it can take up to 5 minutes. Internal flarm number can be also seen from
the IGC file.

When a compass is connected to the system use this menu to perform calibration of it.
Before calibration, please make sure that compass is installed properly. Refer to compass
