VBOX Sport - Getting started
Using as Standalone Logger
If you are using the internal antenna, then the unit should be mounted low down in the windscreen to maximise the view
to the sky. Optional accessories available on our
website
include a windscreen suction mount and an external antenna.
The external antenna gives the optimum GPS performance and also means that the VBOX Sport can be mounted
anywhere convenient.
After mounting the VBOX Sport, insert the SD card, and briefly press the power button to switch on. Wait for the satellite
led to stop flashing, and then logging will start as soon as you start moving. Alternatively, you can select 'record
continuously' mode by pressing the logging button.
Pairing with an iPhone/iPad
VBOX Sport contains an Apple certified Bluetooth chip, which makes pairing a very simple process.
1. Ensure Bluetooth is enabled within the 'Settings' menu and that VBOX Sport is switched on.
