Ext. (Colibri) (only on LX8000 old model)– Use this mode, when you want to receive
external Flarm data through Colibri port on back side. (For example, if TRX1090 is
connected to LX8000.)

port.
Flarm – port is available on selected devices only and means that Flarm input will be
via port labelled Flarm.

be via port labelled GPS.

Device ID shows the Flarm unique ID, which is transmitted to other FLARMs.
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 5.5.6.10.
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.

Compass*
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

It is very important that compass is installed away from power cables, other
compasses, speakers and all other magnetic components in the aircraft. Keep
maximum possible distance to such components (at least 30cm).
