Quick Start Guide
XC Tracer Mini II GPS, based on the proven and reliable XC Tracer II, is a highly accurate variometer
powered by a solar cell. XC Tracer Mini II GPS is using data multiple sensors (9 DOF IMU, pressure
sensor, GPS to compute the real time climb rate and altitude, avoiding the undesired time lag that
conventional variometers suffer from due to data filtering. The GPS also provides real time flight
speed and direction. All the relevant data is then sent in a custom data string to an iOS or Android
tablet or phone via Bluetooth Low Energy. Of course the variometer still indicates the lift / sink rate
with beeping tones!
Use the velcro to attach XC Tracer Mini II GPS to the shoulder strap of your harness, or to your
cockpit, or onto your thigh. (NB. Do not attach it to your helmet or hang it round your neck using a
cord!) Position the device in such a way that the solar cell catches as much sunlight as possible
during the flight.
Switch on XC Tracer by pressing and holding the red button until you hear beep-beep. The GPS will
then search for a fix. The vario will make some beeping sounds once the GPS has a fix, and the
white LED will start blinking every 2-3 seconds. Don't worry if you forget to switch on XC Tracer
before taking off, you can switch it on whilst flying.
The vario won't beep on the ground, but as soon as you're flying XC Tracer Mini II GPS will indicate
the lift / sink rate with beeping tones. XC Tracer Mini II GPS has four volume settings: mute, gentle,
medium and loud. You can change the volume setting with a short push of the red button, always
cycling from mute – gentle - medium – loud – mute – gentle etc.
Once you've landed, turn off XC Tracer Mini II GPS by pressing and holding the red button until you
hear beep-beep (after approximately 3 seconds). XC Tracer Mini II GPS will then switch off and the
LED will stop blinking.
