4) Turning the instrument on and off

Turning on the instrument

To turn on the instrument, simply press the center button. The screen turns on immediately and the instrument is ready to use.

Sensor initialization and GPS acquisition are performed automatically in the background.


Turning off the instrument

To turn off the instrument, use the left and right buttons to navigate to the “Shutdown” screen, then press the center button to confirm.

If a flight recording is in progress, a confirmation prompt will appear to prevent accidental interruption. Confirm shutdown with the center button or go back using the navigation buttons.


Automatic shutdown

To preserve battery life, the instrument automatically turns off after 20 minutes of inactivity.

Inactivity is defined as the absence of:

  • button presses,

  • ground speed variation,

  • or pressure variation.

This automatic shutdown delay can be configured using the Syride Link software.


⚠️ Important note: When a flight is being recorded, the instrument will not shut down automatically in order to ensure the integrity of the flight file.
