# I.	Setup the SYS PC Tool

You can setup the SYS PC Tool: [on your computer](/xl-english-manual/i.-setup-the-sys-pc-tool/using-a-computer) or [on Smartphone](/xl-english-manual/i.-setup-the-sys-pc-tool/using-a-smartphone).


# Using a computer:

1\.   <mark style="color:red;">**Download the lastest version of the SYS PC Tool**</mark> by checking the following webpage: <http://www.syride.com/en/logiciel>&#x20;

<figure><img src="/files/Qgkb0d5r5rQAFxu6LVNl" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

2. Follow the instructions to install it on your computer.
3. Once installed, an icon shows in the task bar. It detects when your instrument is connected.&#x20;

<figure><img src="/files/YXvy0Ait01EdR4wFMelF" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

4. The software will automatically start with your operating system (Windows only).&#x20;

<figure><img src="/files/QNzhKvQIAvntokMHsjWu" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>


# Using a Smartphone:

1. <mark style="color:red;">**Install the latest version of the Syride App**</mark> on Android [Playstore](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.syride.systool\&gl=FR) or Apple [AppStore](https://apps.apple.com/fr/app/syride/id1584133070).

<figure><img src="/files/F364K1phHJUaDeNaljlF" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

1. Please make sure the latest version of the firmware is installed in your instrument.

<figure><img src="/files/RdMGMhyz4Pa6cFFoMwIX" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>


# II.       Place the instrument

1. Syride suggests to place your instrument on the risers. 2 velcros ables you to place it on any existing riser. Take care not to « lock » your rope or pulley accelerator. This position ables you to manipulate the instrument while flying without releasing the brakes.

<figure><img src="/files/tcj5Q0E0677JsJXn1ErL" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

2. Velcros also allow placing the instrument on a cockpit, on thigh (with extension) or on the wrist.

<figure><img src="/files/sHOQGIgl3VBQDjhpthm6" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

3. You should secure your instrument by using the strap provided for this purpose.

<figure><img src="/files/bYR2ICaxzcDahJR2gbCZ" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Note regarding the velcros:

\- The Nav XL is provided by default with "Xlight" velcros. Lighter and thinner, they allow to save 10% on the total weight of the instrument. Nevertheless, they wear out faster than traditional velcros. It is recommended to change them regularly as soon as the grip becomes weaker. You can find them on our online store: <https://www.syride.com/dn/boutique>

\- Replacing velcros does not affect the warranty of the instrument as long as the case is not opened. Change them one by one in order not to open the case by accident.

\- If you use the instrument on the risers only, you can reverse the velcro so that the soft side faces the riser. Simply unscrew the screws, reverse the direction of the velcro and screw again. Be careful not to over tighten the screws to avoid screwing up the thread!

Just remind that if you reverse the direction of the velcro, it will not be possible to put it on a cockpit.


# III.       Charging the battery

1. Simply connect your instrument with the USB-C cable to a computer. A red led shows indicates the charging of the device. The led turns blue when the device is fully charged.

<figure><img src="/files/dIgvapjTNBErHJAVkd2j" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

2. You can check the percentage of charge on the screen. To complete, a charge requires about 2 hours.

<figure><img src="/files/KyqSZCpz3CQ9kQg2plyi" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

3. Disconnect USB to stop the charge. Your instrument has a Li-ion battery, which has no memory effect.

<figure><img src="/files/LQPksJeMs2WzegAq02bY" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

You can charge your instrument while using it, for example in flight. You have to select “Charger Mode” when plugging the charge cable so the track recording doesn’t stop.

When starting the device, allow a dozen seconds for the battery level to stabilize.


# IV.	    Status bar

<figure><img src="/files/UeJGuuVX5VCMr34icq2B" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>


# V.       Menus synoptic

<figure><img src="/files/rlxiAcyhaaiYcJTN9e1a" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>


# VI.       Flight screens

1. Screens 1 to 4 allow you to display the flight information you want.                                                          If you're not getting enough GPS signal, a NO GPS indication will appear.

<figure><img src="/files/JNWYVC3d6AXFZaw3vNnF" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

2. Pressing the main button will turn OFF and ON the sound of the vario. This is useful when you need to concentrate on a transition or a landing.

<figure><img src="/files/MGNe6xNqZwMUVFASgQJu" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Pressing on the main button allows you to record your position and obtain the GPS coordinates (useful for recovery!), the distance, the vertical gain, the time that has elapsed since the pointing of this point as well as an indication of the route to follow to return to this position.                                                       This is also often used by PPG to quickly save their take-off position.

<figure><img src="/files/TnCheD8u3cQxd4WhV1bz" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>


# X.	   Locate airspaces

To avoid an airspace violation, you can upload a database of airspaces with an OpenAir file format to your instrument.                                                                                                                                                        Here are some tips regarding airspaces:

* Airspaces are regularly modified (about once per month). We recommend you to check the **version of file** you are using and keep updated.
* Knowledge of **aeronautic rules** as well as **preparing your flight** are essential for your safety, and for an easy understanding of what your instrument is showing.
* **Temporary forbidden areas** can exist. They are signaled through a NOTAM (Notice To Airmen) or Sup AIP. They’re usually available on your government website.
* Each country has its own rules, especially for **VFR** flights. Take note of local rules before taking-off.
* Even if your instrument is able to handle thousands of airspaces, we highly recommend you to fine-tune your OpenAir file. Editing the file can be done with any raw text reader software. Fine-tuning the openair file can increase your instrument’s autonomy, and can ease the reading of the MAP screen.

In order to upload/update airspaces to your Nav XL:

1\)      Go to the webpage <https://www.syride.com/en/airspace>

2\)      Syride's online tool provides airspace databases in Open Air format by country. Download the file you want to your computer.

3\)      Turn on and plug your Nav into the USB port of your computer

4\)      On the SYS PC Tool, click on the icon « *send a file to my instrument* »

5\)      Select the OpenAir file you previously downloaded.

<figure><img src="/files/k2bAQzD1XYZkCkNwqe5L" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

To locate airspaces, you have 2 options :

* &#x20;The MAP screen will show you the airspace borders
* Indicators are available on the SSCTool, like name, horizontal and vertical distance to the nearest airspace.

There are 2 visual warnings with a siren that informs you are near an airspace:

<figure><img src="/files/v91GBIvu3pfch8tyuOrX" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

The Airspace name flashes white at the top when you are near a zone (as defined by the HAS and VAS values in the advanced settings).

<figure><img src="/files/94mtF4UJ7qEXDETik8jM" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

The Airspace name flashes black at the top when you are inside the airspace.


# XI.	    Navigation

You can navigate [using a computer](/xl-english-manual/xi.-navigation/using-a-computer) or [using the Syride App](/xl-english-manual/xi.-navigation/using-a-smartphone).


# Using a computer:

You can navigate [using a computer](/xl-english-manual/xi.-navigation/using-a-computer) or [using the Syride App](/xl-english-manual/xi.-navigation/using-a-smartphone).

To create a navigation route, the easiest way is to use our online « Route maker » tool. Simple, quick and efficient, it ables you to build a route in a few secondes.

<figure><img src="/files/JEUQGHrd1YwOVAz3TLZH" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

To build a route with the « Route maker » :

<figure><img src="/files/uhOPI7nHN3HqrN0Lhqv6" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>


# Using a Smartphone:

Uploading a flight can be done automatically when you land if, in the preferences of the app, you have checked "yes" to "Send tracks automatically", if your instrument is still connected by Bluetooth with your phone when you land (and during the upload), and if you have a decent network coverage during this time.

It is also possible to manually send / share a track of your choice from the app:

<figure><img src="/files/A52KyWSo1TUGDYwhW8h0" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

About the flight upload in Bluetooth:

\- If you have a flight log on other platforms (XContest, DHV-XC...), our servers can automatically upload a copy of your flight. Configure your profiles on this page: <https://www.syride.com/en/moncompte>

\- The transfer time in Bluetooth Low Energy can be quite long. If a manual transfer takes more than 3 minutes, you will be notified with a confirmation popup to let you know about it.

\- The automatic transfer at the end of the flight will be done systematically if the transfer time is less than 10 minutes. Should the transfer duration be longer, a confirmation popup wouldl be displayed only if your application is displayed in the foreground on your phone. If it is in the background, or phone in standby, the transfer will not be executed. You will have to send your flight manually then.


# XVI.	Parameters

Here is a list of parameters preprogrammed in your instrument in order to improve its use and its operating time:

·        Flight tracks <mark style="color:red;">**less than a minute**</mark> long will be automatically deleted by the SYS PC Tool

·        When flying, your instrument will automatically stop recording the flight if **neither a ground speed or a vario** is detected, unless you’ve manually forced the recording see chapter V.

·        Your instrument will automatically turn OFF if a <mark style="color:red;">**20 minutes**</mark> inactivity is detected, unless you’re flying.

·        **Time and date** are set up thanks to the GPS (to get the GMT time) and your computer (to apply the timezone). In order to correctly set the time, connect your device to Sys’PC tool.


# XVII.	Suggestion of use

* <mark style="color:red;">**We suggest you turn on your Nav XL while preparing your gear in order to make sure you get the GPS fix before taking-off.**</mark>
* Use the lanyard to <mark style="color:red;">**secure**</mark> your instrument while flying.
* Electromagnetic perturbations from VHF antennas can disturb GPS signal (Altitude/Speed/Glide ratio…)
* If the SYS'NAV is very hot and you fly in very cold air, fog can appear on the screen. It will dissipate within minutes.
* When plugging your Nav XL on a USB charger, it will charge even if it is turned off.
* The lifespan of your battery will depend on the conditions of use and its storage environment. Do not leave it without charge for a long time and do not leave your instrument in the trunk of your car in direct sunlight (Your wing won’t like it either).
* If the battery is too hot (instrument left in the sun in summer), the instrument will not allow you to start it. So wait for your Nav XL to cool down before trying again
* Charging can be done on any USB charger (computer, phone charger, solar panel…) provided that it respects the USB standards (avoid cheap chargers).

**Operating time and settings:**                                                                                                                                        The operating time very related to your settings. Here is a table allowing you to estimate the operating time of your instrument according to its settings:&#x20;

<figure><img src="/files/8PrPYvI1brAlyIPdqVyU" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Bluetooth activation has very little impact on the operating time.


# Important Warnings and Safety Instructions

Free flight and ultralight flying are potentially dangerous activities that can lead to serious injury, paralysis, or even death. When flying, you must be fully aware of the risks involved.                             Read and follow these safety instructions carefully before using your Syride instrument. Failure to do so may compromise your safety and nullify your right to any claim in case of an incident.

**Proper Use and Responsibilities**:&#x20;

Syride instruments are intended for use in free flight and ultralight flying. Any other use is the responsibility of the user, exempting Syride, its distributors, or resellers from any liability, claim, or demand for compensation for misuse. All pilots must hold the required license or certification in their country and have adequate liability insurance to fly. Ensure that you have the skills and knowledge necessary to fly and use the instrument. Only fly if you are physically and mentally fit. The instrument should only be used by trained and competent individuals in compliance with local and national regulations.

**Preparation and Maintenance**:&#x20;

Check the proper functioning of the instrument before each flight. Never fly with damaged or improperly positioned equipment. Ensure that the weather conditions are appropriate for your level of piloting. NEVER fly in dangerous conditions (e.g., strong winds, storms, fog, rain, snow, turbulent conditions, or clouds). Use only approved equipment (wing, harness, and rescue parachute) and appropriate protective gear (e.g., helmet...).

Make sure the product is securely positioned before takeoff to avoid loss during flight. Syride cannot be held responsible for the loss and consequences of the instrument falling to the ground. Syride is also not responsible for the instrument's theft or damage during use (e.g., water exposure, shocks, crushing during transport, etc.).

**In-Flight Safety and Responsibilities**:&#x20;

Do not use the instrument for acrobatic flights, flights without visibility, or night flights. Always pay close attention to the weather before takeoff, your surroundings, and the terrain you will be flying over to avoid collisions. If in doubt, do not fly, and always allow a large safety margin in your decisions. In the event of a critical malfunction of the instrument, shorten the flight as soon as possible or, if necessary, separate from the instrument. The instrument may display false information, shut down, or malfunction at any time. It is essential that the flight can continue safely without using the information provided by the instrument. The information provided by the instrument should be considered as a mere aid to flying and should not be crucial to its smooth operation or safety. Incorrect or inaccurate data may result either from the system's inherent imprecision or sensor inaccuracies (e.g., GPS accuracy, pressure sensor, or terrain database data) or from software bugs. The ability to fly safely without relying on this information is essential, highlighting the importance of not considering this equipment as infallible or the sole source of navigation and decision-making. It is the pilot's responsibility to prepare the flight with information from official sources. For example, the airspace alert function is only a piloting aid, and the pilot remains solely responsible in case of violations.

We recommend using two instruments of different designs in flight to benefit from information redundancy.

Use only accessories and spare parts provided by Syride. Contact Syride support immediately if you have any doubts about the use or proper functioning of the instrument.

**Storage and Handling**:&#x20;

The instrument should be stored in an environment that is neither too hot nor too cold. Avoid exposure to temperatures above 40°C or below -10°C, especially by leaving it in direct sunlight or in a car trunk in the sun. Do not open the instrument, as this voids the warranty. If it comes into contact with water, wait at least 24 hours before attempting to restart the instrument and contact Syride support.

**Updates and Emergency Procedures:**&#x20;

Regularly install software updates to maintain the instrument's effectiveness. Prepare and familiarize yourself with emergency procedures for potential failures or critical situations in flight (emergency landing, rapid descent, flight without instruments, fire).

**Data Loss**:&#x20;

Data loss on the instrument (e.g., flights, settings, navigation route, beacons…) or on the online flight log (user profile, live, recorded flights…) is always possible. The user should be aware of this and take necessary steps to have an external backup other than those provided by Syride. Syride is not responsible for the consequences of this loss.

**Risks and Consequences of Improper Use**:&#x20;

Incorrect use or failure to follow these instructions may result in serious, potentially fatal accidents. Syride, its distributors, or resellers accept no liability for direct or indirect damages resulting from misuse.

**Battery**:&#x20;

This product uses a lithium-ion battery. Avoid exposing it to temperatures above 40°C (120°F). For battery longevity and maintenance, store it at approximately 70% capacity and perform a charge/discharge cycle every 6 months. Use a suitable charger and the cable provided with the instrument. Batteries can pose fire risks, toxic gas emissions, burns, and explosions. Negligent maintenance may increase the risk of failure. A full check of the instrument by Syride and battery replacement is recommended at least every 5 years. If there is a leak and contact with the liquid escaping from the battery, wash thoroughly with water and consult a physician immediately. For safety reasons and to prolong battery life, charging can only be done within an ambient temperature range. Temperatures: standard operation: 0°C (32°F) to +45°C (113°F); short-term storage: -20°C (-4°F) to 60°C (140°F); long-term storage -20°C (-4°F) to 25°C (77°F). Do not extract or attempt to extract the battery without Syride's approval. **There is a risk of explosion if the battery** is replaced with an incorrect one.

# Important Warnings and Safety Instructions

Free flight and ultralight flying are potentially dangerous activities that can lead to serious injury, paralysis, or even death. When flying, you must be fully aware of the risks involved.                             Read and follow these safety instructions carefully before using your Syride instrument. Failure to do so may compromise your safety and nullify your right to any claim in case of an incident.

**Proper Use and Responsibilities**:&#x20;

Syride instruments are intended for use in free flight and ultralight flying. Any other use is the responsibility of the user, exempting Syride, its distributors, or resellers from any liability, claim, or demand for compensation for misuse. All pilots must hold the required license or certification in their country and have adequate liability insurance to fly. Ensure that you have the skills and knowledge necessary to fly and use the instrument. Only fly if you are physically and mentally fit. The instrument should only be used by trained and competent individuals in compliance with local and national regulations.

**Preparation and Maintenance**:&#x20;

Check the proper functioning of the instrument before each flight. Never fly with damaged or improperly positioned equipment. Ensure that the weather conditions are appropriate for your level of piloting. NEVER fly in dangerous conditions (e.g., strong winds, storms, fog, rain, snow, turbulent conditions, or clouds). Use only approved equipment (wing, harness, and rescue parachute) and appropriate protective gear (e.g., helmet...).

Make sure the product is securely positioned before takeoff to avoid loss during flight. Syride cannot be held responsible for the loss and consequences of the instrument falling to the ground. Syride is also not responsible for the instrument's theft or damage during use (e.g., water exposure, shocks, crushing during transport, etc.).

**In-Flight Safety and Responsibilities**:&#x20;

Do not use the instrument for acrobatic flights, flights without visibility, or night flights. Always pay close attention to the weather before takeoff, your surroundings, and the terrain you will be flying over to avoid collisions. If in doubt, do not fly, and always allow a large safety margin in your decisions. In the event of a critical malfunction of the instrument, shorten the flight as soon as possible or, if necessary, separate from the instrument. The instrument may display false information, shut down, or malfunction at any time. It is essential that the flight can continue safely without using the information provided by the instrument. The information provided by the instrument should be considered as a mere aid to flying and should not be crucial to its smooth operation or safety. Incorrect or inaccurate data may result either from the system's inherent imprecision or sensor inaccuracies (e.g., GPS accuracy, pressure sensor, or terrain database data) or from software bugs. The ability to fly safely without relying on this information is essential, highlighting the importance of not considering this equipment as infallible or the sole source of navigation and decision-making. It is the pilot's responsibility to prepare the flight with information from official sources. For example, the airspace alert function is only a piloting aid, and the pilot remains solely responsible in case of violations.

We recommend using two instruments of different designs in flight to benefit from information redundancy.

Use only accessories and spare parts provided by Syride. Contact Syride support immediately if you have any doubts about the use or proper functioning of the instrument.

**Storage and Handling**:&#x20;

The instrument should be stored in an environment that is neither too hot nor too cold. Avoid exposure to temperatures above 40°C or below -10°C, especially by leaving it in direct sunlight or in a car trunk in the sun. Do not open the instrument, as this voids the warranty. If it comes into contact with water, wait at least 24 hours before attempting to restart the instrument and contact Syride support.

**Updates and Emergency Procedures:**&#x20;

Regularly install software updates to maintain the instrument's effectiveness. Prepare and familiarize yourself with emergency procedures for potential failures or critical situations in flight (emergency landing, rapid descent, flight without instruments, fire).

**Data Loss**:&#x20;

Data loss on the instrument (e.g., flights, settings, navigation route, beacons…) or on the online flight log (user profile, live, recorded flights…) is always possible. The user should be aware of this and take necessary steps to have an external backup other than those provided by Syride. Syride is not responsible for the consequences of this loss.

**Risks and Consequences of Improper Use**:&#x20;

Incorrect use or failure to follow these instructions may result in serious, potentially fatal accidents. Syride, its distributors, or resellers accept no liability for direct or indirect damages resulting from misuse.

**Battery**:&#x20;

This product uses a lithium-ion battery. Avoid exposing it to temperatures above 40°C (120°F). For battery longevity and maintenance, store it at approximately 70% capacity and perform a charge/discharge cycle every 6 months. Use a suitable charger and the cable provided with the instrument. Batteries can pose fire risks, toxic gas emissions, burns, and explosions. Negligent maintenance may increase the risk of failure. A full check of the instrument by Syride and battery replacement is recommended at least every 5 years. If there is a leak and contact with the liquid escaping from the battery, wash thoroughly with water and consult a physician immediately. For safety reasons and to prolong battery life, charging can only be done within an ambient temperature range. Temperatures: standard operation: 0°C (32°F) to +45°C (113°F); short-term storage: -20°C (-4°F) to 60°C (140°F); long-term storage -20°C (-4°F) to 25°C (77°F). Do not extract or attempt to extract the battery without Syride's approval. **There is a risk of explosion if the battery** is replaced with an incorrect one. In case of a battery problem, please contact Syride support immediately.

# Important Warnings and Safety Instructions

Free flight and ultralight flying are potentially dangerous activities that can lead to serious injury, paralysis, or even death. When flying, you must be fully aware of the risks involved.

Read and follow these safety instructions carefully before using your Syride instrument. Failure to do so may compromise your safety and nullify your right to any claim in case of an incident.

Proper Use and Responsibilities: Syride instruments are intended for use in free flight and ultralight flying. Any other use is the responsibility of the user, exempting Syride, its distributors, or resellers from any liability, claim, or demand for compensation for misuse. All pilots must hold the required license or certification in their country and have adequate liability insurance to fly. Ensure that you have the skills and knowledge necessary to fly and use the instrument. Only fly if you are physically and mentally fit. The instrument should only be used by trained and competent individuals in compliance with local and national regulations.

**Preparation and Maintenance**:&#x20;

Check the proper functioning of the instrument before each flight. Never fly with damaged or improperly positioned equipment. Ensure that the weather conditions are appropriate for your level of piloting. NEVER fly in dangerous conditions (e.g., strong winds, storms, fog, rain, snow, turbulent conditions, or clouds). Use only approved equipment (wing, harness, and rescue parachute) and appropriate protective gear (e.g., helmet...).

Make sure the product is securely positioned before takeoff to avoid loss during flight. Syride cannot be held responsible for the loss and consequences of the instrument falling to the ground. Syride is also not responsible for the instrument's theft or damage during use (e.g., water exposure, shocks, crushing during transport, etc.).

**In-Flight Safety and Responsibilities**:&#x20;

Do not use the instrument for acrobatic flights, flights without visibility, or night flights. Always pay close attention to the weather before takeoff, your surroundings, and the terrain you will be flying over to avoid collisions. If in doubt, do not fly, and always allow a large safety margin in your decisions. In the event of a critical malfunction of the instrument, shorten the flight as soon as possible or, if necessary, separate from the instrument. The instrument may display false information, shut down, or malfunction at any time. It is essential that the flight can continue safely without using the information provided by the instrument. The information provided by the instrument should be considered as a mere aid to flying and should not be crucial to its smooth operation or safety. Incorrect or inaccurate data may result either from the system's inherent imprecision or sensor inaccuracies (e.g., GPS accuracy, pressure sensor, or terrain database data) or from software bugs. The ability to fly safely without relying on this information is essential, highlighting the importance of not considering this equipment as infallible or the sole source of navigation and decision-making. It is the pilot's responsibility to prepare the flight with information from official sources. For example, the airspace alert function is only a piloting aid, and the pilot remains solely responsible in case of violations.

We recommend using two instruments of different designs in flight to benefit from information redundancy.

Use only accessories and spare parts provided by Syride. Contact Syride support immediately if you have any doubts about the use or proper functioning of the instrument.

**Storage and Handling**:&#x20;

The instrument should be stored in an environment that is neither too hot nor too cold. Avoid exposure to temperatures above 40°C or below -10°C, especially by leaving it in direct sunlight or in a car trunk in the sun. Do not open the instrument, as this voids the warranty. If it comes into contact with water, wait at least 24 hours before attempting to restart the instrument and contact Syride support.

**Updates and Emergency Procedures**:&#x20;

Regularly install software updates to maintain the instrument's effectiveness. Prepare and familiarize yourself with emergency procedures for potential failures or critical situations in flight (emergency landing, rapid descent, flight without instruments, fire).

**Data Loss:**&#x20;

Data loss on the instrument (e.g., flights, settings, navigation route, beacons…) or on the online flight log (user profile, live, recorded flights…) is always possible. The user should be aware of this and take necessary steps to have an external backup other than those provided by Syride. Syride is not responsible for the consequences of this loss.

**Risks and Consequences of Improper Use**:&#x20;

Incorrect use or failure to follow these instructions may result in serious, potentially fatal accidents. Syride, its distributors, or resellers accept no liability for direct or indirect damages resulting from misuse.

**Battery**:&#x20;

This product uses a lithium-ion battery. Avoid exposing it to temperatures above 40°C (120°F). For battery longevity and maintenance, store it at approximately 70% capacity and perform a charge/discharge cycle every 6 months. Use a suitable charger and the cable provided with the instrument. Batteries can pose fire risks, toxic gas emissions, burns, and explosions. Negligent maintenance may increase the risk of failure. A full check of the instrument by Syride and battery replacement is recommended at least every 5 years. If there is a leak and contact with the liquid escaping from the battery, wash thoroughly with water and consult a physician immediately. For safety reasons and to prolong battery life, charging can only be done within an ambient temperature range. Temperatures: standard operation: 0°C (32°F) to +45°C (113°F); short-term storage: -20°C (-4°F) to 60°C (140°F); long-term storage -20°C (-4°F) to 25°C (77°F). Do not extract or attempt to extract the battery without Syride's approval. There is a risk of explosion if the battery is replaced with an incorrect one. In case of a battery problem, please contact Syride support immediately.

* Change the airspace « pre-violation » warnings (HAS for Horizontal distance to AirSpace, VAS for Vertical distance to AirSpace).
* Change any setup that is changeable inside the instrument.
* Adjust the security alarm based on the G-meter.

An explanation of those functions is explained here: <https://www.syride.com/en/support>

&#x20;

For this:

1\)      Turn-on the instrument and connect it to your computer.

2\)      From SYS PC Tool, click on **“C*****onfigure my instrument”** icon.*

3\)      Change whatever you want.

4\)      Click on ***Send parameters**.*&#x20;

<figure><img src="/files/nEtWQqxyXFVCfVVU3eBJ" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>


# IX.	Customize your screens and vario sound

**With NAV, you can fully customize screens 1 to 4, as well your vario sound!**

&#x20;To customize your screen (tutorial video <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D3lfZWiS13M>):

1\)      Go to: <http://www.syride.com/en/ssctool/Nav>

2\)      Customize your screen by selecting an item with is font size and units and then drag and drop it to the screen.

3\)      Download the config file to your computer.

4\)      Turn-on your instrument and connect it to your computer.

5\)      On SYS PC Tool, click on ***“Send a file to my Instrument”** icon.*

6\)      Select the config file you just downloaded before and disconnect your instrument, done.&#x20;

<figure><img src="/files/CRSuR2EmHhjIFBF3CXrA" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

The vario sound setup follows the same principle, follow here:  <https://www.syride.com/en/variosetup>


# X.	Height above ground

The NAV is able to tell you how high from the ground you are. Thanks to topography data recorded by the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission realized in 2000 by Endeavour space shuttle (see <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shuttle_Radar_Topography_Mission>).

<mark style="color:red;">**From the Nav V3, the worldwide topography is already embedded in the instrument.**</mark>

&#x20;For the older versions of the Nav, here is the process to send the topography data into your instrument:

&#x20;1\)      You must go to our dedicated webpage: <https://www.syride.com/en/topography>

2\)      Then move the red rectangle to your selected fly area, and download the data.

3\)      Turn on and connect your NAV with the USB cable.

4\)      Then go in the SYS PC Tool, and click on the **“Send a file to my instrument”** icon, and select the file you previously downloaded.

5\)      Wait until the end ot the file upload and restart your instrument.&#x20;

<figure><img src="/files/aA1VuEKE43MgYqA6k2ls" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Caution, height above the ground has a precision of ±20m, plus the GPS precision (a few meters).&#x20;

<mark style="color:red;">**To display your height above ground, this information must be included in your screen configuration (see previous chapter) and you need GPS reception.**</mark>


# XI.	Locate airspaces

To avoid an airspace violation, you can upload a database of airspaces with an OpenAir file format to your instrument.

Here are some tips regarding airspaces:

\-         Airspaces are regularly modified (about once per month). We recommend you to check the **version of file** you are using and keep updated.

\-         Knowledge of **aeronautic rules** as well as **preparing your flight** are essential for your safety, and for an easy understanding of what your instrument is showing.

\-         **Temporary forbidden areas** can exist. They are signaled through a NOTAM (Notice To Airmen) or Sup AIP. They’re usually available on your government website.

\-         Each country has its own rules, especially for **VFR** flights. Take note of local rules before taking-off.

\-         Even if your instrument is able to handle thousands of airspaces, we highly recommend you to fine-tune your OpenAir file. Editing the file can be done with any raw text reader software. Fine-tuning the openair file can increase your instrument’s autonomy, and can ease the reading of the MAP screen.&#x20;

In order to upload airspaces to your Nav :

1\)      Go to the webpage <https://www.syride.com/en/airspace>

2\)      Syride's online tool provides airspace databases in Open Air format by country. Download the file you want to your computer.

3\)      Turn on and plug your Nav into the USB port of your computer.

4\)      On the SYS PC Tool, click on the icon **«&#x20;*****Send a file to my instrument*****&#x20;»**.

5\)      Select the OpenAir file you previously downloaded.&#x20;

<figure><img src="/files/8EVyruR7EsV1Ei8PnSH8" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

To locate airspaces, you have 2 options:

\-         The MAP screen will show you the airspace borders.

\-         Indicators are available on the SSCTool, like name, horizontal and vertical distance to the nearest airspace.

&#x20;There are 2 visual warnings with a siren that informs you are near an airspace:&#x20;

**PRE VIOLATION** blinks on top of the screen when the distance (vertical or horizontal) to the nearest airspace is within the predefined VAS and HAS values.&#x20;

<figure><img src="/files/mfJqFw7bbg0NV4aIcGwF" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

**VIOLATION** blinks on top of the screen when you are inside an airspace.&#x20;

<figure><img src="/files/BPXEfc5UPJIWr3ZSX2Wn" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

**Both PRE-VIOLATION and VIOLATION warnings emit a siren during a few seconds. If you loose the GPS signal, then the siren will run again when getting the GPS fix back.**


# XII.	Navigation

To create a navigation route, the easiest way is to use our online **« Route maker »** tool. Simple, quick and efficient, it ables you to build a route in a few secondes.

To build a route with the **« Route maker »**:

You can build a route from your instrument as well:

1\)      You first need to have some waypoints in your instrument. Create a waypoint on the Nav, with menu **“Navigation”** (screen 7), then **“Create waypoint”.** The instrument will ask for a waypoint name, GPS coordinate, and altitude (optional).                                                                                                                   If you already have a waypoint file, you can upload it to your instrument with the SYS PC Tool (**« Send a file to my instrument »** icon). The SYS PC Tool only accept **OziExplorer** file format.&#x20;

<figure><img src="/files/68SmALnPxBPxl4XVCMsk" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

2\)      Then from the Nav, go to the **"Navigation menu"**, then **« Create route »:**

\-         First, name your route.

\-         When selecting the first waypoint, you can choose between 3 modes: **« Waypoint »** (a simple waypoint), **« START IN »** and **« START OUT »** where a start time must be given.

\-         When selecting the waypoint, you can setup a radius (set to 400m by default, according to FAI rules), as well as a minimum altitude.

\-         Add several waypoints if needed.

\-         You can select a **« GOAL CYLINDER »** or a **« GOAL LINE »** for the last waypoint.

\-         Or select **« END ROUTE »** if you want to end your route with a simple waypoint.

# Important Warnings and Safety Instructions

Free flight and ultralight flying are potentially dangerous activities that can lead to serious injury, paralysis, or even death. When flying, you must be fully aware of the risks involved.

Read and follow these safety instructions carefully before using your Syride instrument. Failure to do so may compromise your safety and nullify your right to any claim in case of an incident.

Proper Use and Responsibilities: Syride instruments are intended for use in free flight and ultralight flying. Any other use is the responsibility of the user, exempting Syride, its distributors, or resellers from any liability, claim, or demand for compensation for misuse. All pilots must hold the required license or certification in their country and have adequate liability insurance to fly. Ensure that you have the skills and knowledge necessary to fly and use the instrument. Only fly if you are physically and mentally fit. The instrument should only be used by trained and competent individuals in compliance with local and national regulations.

**Preparation and Maintenance**:&#x20;

Check the proper functioning of the instrument before each flight. Never fly with damaged or improperly positioned equipment. Ensure that the weather conditions are appropriate for your level of piloting. NEVER fly in dangerous conditions (e.g., strong winds, storms, fog, rain, snow, turbulent conditions, or clouds). Use only approved equipment (wing, harness, and rescue parachute) and appropriate protective gear (e.g., helmet...).

Make sure the product is securely positioned before takeoff to avoid loss during flight. Syride cannot be held responsible for the loss and consequences of the instrument falling to the ground. Syride is also not responsible for the instrument's theft or damage during use (e.g., water exposure, shocks, crushing during transport, etc.).

**In-Flight Safety and Responsibilities**:&#x20;

Do not use the instrument for acrobatic flights, flights without visibility, or night flights. Always pay close attention to the weather before takeoff, your surroundings, and the terrain you will be flying over to avoid collisions. If in doubt, do not fly, and always allow a large safety margin in your decisions. In the event of a critical malfunction of the instrument, shorten the flight as soon as possible or, if necessary, separate from the instrument. The instrument may display false information, shut down, or malfunction at any time. It is essential that the flight can continue safely without using the information provided by the instrument. The information provided by the instrument should be considered as a mere aid to flying and should not be crucial to its smooth operation or safety. Incorrect or inaccurate data may result either from the system's inherent imprecision or sensor inaccuracies (e.g., GPS accuracy, pressure sensor, or terrain database data) or from software bugs. The ability to fly safely without relying on this information is essential, highlighting the importance of not considering this equipment as infallible or the sole source of navigation and decision-making. It is the pilot's responsibility to prepare the flight with information from official sources. For example, the airspace alert function is only a piloting aid, and the pilot remains solely responsible in case of violations.

We recommend using two instruments of different designs in flight to benefit from information redundancy.

Use only accessories and spare parts provided by Syride. Contact Syride support immediately if you have any doubts about the use or proper functioning of the instrument.

**Storage and Handling**:&#x20;

The instrument should be stored in an environment that is neither too hot nor too cold. Avoid exposure to temperatures above 40°C or below -10°C, especially by leaving it in direct sunlight or in a car trunk in the sun. Do not open the instrument, as this voids the warranty. If it comes into contact with water, wait at least 24 hours before attempting to restart the instrument and contact Syride support.

**Updates and Emergency Procedures**:&#x20;

Regularly install software updates to maintain the instrument's effectiveness. Prepare and familiarize yourself with emergency procedures for potential failures or critical situations in flight (emergency landing, rapid descent, flight without instruments, fire).

**Data Loss:**&#x20;

Data loss on the instrument (e.g., flights, settings, navigation route, beacons…) or on the online flight log (user profile, live, recorded flights…) is always possible. The user should be aware of this and take necessary steps to have an external backup other than those provided by Syride. Syride is not responsible for the consequences of this loss.

**Risks and Consequences of Improper Use**:&#x20;

Incorrect use or failure to follow these instructions may result in serious, potentially fatal accidents. Syride, its distributors, or resellers accept no liability for direct or indirect damages resulting from misuse.

**Battery**:&#x20;

This product uses a lithium-ion battery. Avoid exposing it to temperatures above 40°C (120°F). For battery longevity and maintenance, store it at approximately 70% capacity and perform a charge/discharge cycle every 6 months. Use a suitable charger and the cable provided with the instrument. Batteries can pose fire risks, toxic gas emissions, burns, and explosions. Negligent maintenance may increase the risk of failure. A full check of the instrument by Syride and battery replacement is recommended at least every 5 years. If there is a leak and contact with the liquid escaping from the battery, wash thoroughly with water and consult a physician immediately. For safety reasons and to prolong battery life, charging can only be done within an ambient temperature range. Temperatures: standard operation: 0°C (32°F) to +45°C (113°F); short-term storage: -20°C (-4°F) to 60°C (140°F); long-term storage -20°C (-4°F) to 25°C (77°F). Do not extract or attempt to extract the battery without Syride's approval. There is a risk of explosion if the battery is replaced with an incorrect one. In case of a battery problem, please contact Syride support immediately.

# Foreword

Welcome to Syride community! You are maybe owning the best instrument of Syride range! Your Evolution belongs to a new generation of flying instrument, we call it a “flight computer”.

Let’s move on and stop reading this boring preamble! If you want to take benefit of all the features of your instrument, read this user manual!

&#x20;Syride team wishes you great flights…&#x20;


# I.	Setup Syride communication software

This software is strongly suggested. It is called the « SYS PC Tool », and enables you to update your instrument, fine-tune the settings, download your flights (and optionnaly send them to Syride online flightbook), upload routes, waypoints, etc…

Please be aware that the Evolution is also compatible with GPSDump software (please make sure to use the latest version available on <http://www.gpsdump.no/> ).

&#x20;1\.      <mark style="color:red;">**Download the latest version of the SYS PC Tool**</mark> by checking the following webpage: <http://www.syride.com/en/logiciel>

<figure><img src="/files/r7uX7wtP5H3gFQEZoIfX" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

&#x20;2\.      Follow the instructions to install it on your computer

&#x20;3\.      Once installed, an icon shows in the task bar. It detects when your instrument is connected.

<figure><img src="/files/0G7yDcfZCHj8ZXjR3MbS" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

&#x20;4\.      The software will automatically start with your operating system.

<figure><img src="/files/ZzP2XEChcavZ4dqUiKZ4" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>


# II.	Turn ON and OFF the flight computer

It is important to know that compared to other displays, the one the SYS’Evolution is using does not require any power to keep an image displayed. This is why when you received it, some information may already be displayed on the screen!

1. To turn ON your flight computer, press the START button once. <mark style="color:red;">**A small red light turns-on in the eye of the eagle to indicate that the instrument is ON**</mark>.

The boot sequence lasts a few seconds to initialize all the sensors. The "**GPS booster**" is then activated to minimize the time of reception of the GPS signal. As soon as the reception is sufficient, the instrument will automatically switch to the flight screen.

2. The instrument will be automatically turned OFF after **20 minutes** of inactivity (no ground speed nor vario). To manually turn it OFF, press the START button during 2 seconds, until the display wipes out.

<figure><img src="/files/HcPcDg5i54IspnHgZKjO" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>


# III.	Charge the battery

1. In order to charge the instrument, just use any mini-USB cable that you could connect to any power supply (computer, phone charger, cigarette lighter..). A red light on the battery icon indicates the flight computer is charging. A full charge from an empty battery takes up to 8 hours. It is NOT recommended to charge through a USB hub device.

<figure><img src="/files/uuMywafTi9PBl83GNtYH" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

2. If the instrument is connected to a computer a screen symbolizes it. You can disconnect it at any time.
3. In running mod, draw a “slide-down” movement on the screen with your finger in order to display the top banner during a few seconds.

<figure><img src="/files/C28dcPy8FEb84usgf4no" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

4. Disconnect the instrument to stop charging it. The Li-ion battery isn’t affected by a memory effect.


# IV.	Place the instrument in flight

1\.      Syride suggest to place the Evolution on a cockpit.                                                                         Two adhesive velcro bands are included and can be sticked on the back of the instrument.                                                                                       <mark style="color:red;">**Please take care not to obstruct the Reboot hole with the velcro.**</mark>

2. The size of the flight computer permits to place it on a ventral rescue parachute.

<figure><img src="/files/8aU4lP37zWvHglEaOlgD" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

3. You can secure the Evolution using the lanyard.
4. For more comfort, a neoprene protection housing with velcros is sold separately.

<figure><img src="/files/ffHIlDfJgFCgtszyjya3" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>


# V.	General ergonomics

While the instrument is running, the whole display is dedicated to flight items. In order to make the menus appear, draw a slide-down or slide-up movement with your finger, By applying a slight pressure on the screen:

* The top banner appears during a few seconds by sliding down:&#x20;

<figure><img src="/files/rtNO5yTqffL91hGfoX8H" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

* Slide left or right in order to go to next or previous flight screen:&#x20;

<figure><img src="/files/XefhIVic5ftdvpP4XGpd" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

* Slide UP to display menus:&#x20;

<figure><img src="/files/BRsyPusfE9qjD52aLI94" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

For your information:

\-       <mark style="color:red;">**A slight pressure must be applied to use the Evolution touchscreen**</mark>. This technology allows to use  this instrument with gloves,

\-       The take-off is automatically detected and starts the log. The flight time in the top banner appears after take-off,

\-       The touch-screen is designed to be used with or without gloves,

\-       Any flight item that requires GPS needs at least 3 satellites. Otherwise, a “NO GPS” message may show up instead of the item,

\-      <mark style="color:red;">**The first GPS fix can take several minutes in case of long power-off or in case of significant change in position. Any first GPS fix should be done outside. We recommend you to turn ON the instrument a few minutes before taking-off**</mark>,

\-       The temperature only indicates the temperature of the electronics. This cannot be used as a reference for ambient temperature,

\-       A 3.5mm jack socket is available on the right side of the device. Plugging a headset automatically transfers any sound from the speaker to the headset (and cuts-off the speaker).


# VI.	The 3 main menus

<figure><img src="/files/WtvZTxgQlvWEsHthGGsM" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

About connectivity:

\-       Online connectivity brings new features: live tracking, real time wind reports, SMS messaging… (for more info, please read chapter “Parameters: Online Functions”).

\-       IMPORTANT: for bluetooth connection to work properly with your phone, you must enable both **bluetooth** AND **bluetooth Internet connection sharing** (“bluetooth tethering” on some phones): see [this tutorial video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HR3RYwWmFhQ).

\-       Whereas Wifi significantly reduces battery life and therefore should only be used on the ground, **bluetooth is highly energy efficient and should be the connectivity used in flight.**\
(standby weather forecast only use Wifi to update its data)

\-       After your flight, if you have filled your credentials in the Evolution (Parameters > Advanced Parameters > Pilot credentials), the flight will automatically be uploaded to your Syride online profile.

\-       WIFI with WEP keys are currently not supported by the Evolution (most wifi networks use WPA/WPA2 keys nowadays).

\-       Wifi and bluetooth cannot be used simultaneously. Activating bluetooth will disable the wifi and vice versa.

\-       On most phones, you will have to be on a specific page to be visible by other devices (including the Evolution) on bluetooth (that’s usually the bluetooth scan page).


# IX.	Parameters : online functions

To reach this page, slide up from any flight screen to make menus appear, click « Parameters menu » button, then click the « Online functions » button. **These functions will only work if your instrument is connected (see previous chapter).**&#x20;

<figure><img src="/files/6NPw7XAovGqCSXMTZwLa" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

About the standby mode weather station:

This screen, available in stand-by mode, displays weather forecasts updated on a regular basis. Wifi must be set up to use this feature.&#x20;

<figure><img src="/files/Z0XgzEOCJdn7NvjBzuYf" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

\-       The weather station show data using your last GPS position.

\-       Syride use its subscription to openweathermap.org to download weather forecasts.

\-       Weather forecasts only use energy to update. Display doesn’t use any energy.

\-       Customization of this screen will come at a later stage.&#x20;

About emergency messages:

The emergency icon only appears if:

\-       Your instrument is connected with your smartphone and has Internet access.

\-       You have a Syride account on [www.syride.com](http://www.syride.com) and typed your credentials in the instrument (See chapter XIII).

\-       You have setup the messages and a list of recipients on the “My account” page on Syride.com&#x20;

# X.	Parameters : GNSS setup

To reach this page, slide up from any flight screen to make menus appear, then click « Parameters menu » button, then click the « GPS setup » button.&#x20;

<figure><img src="/files/lTUtMdrccJaGASiEi3Lj" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Enabling GNSS is mandatory for track recording and displaying a lot of items (like the Route, the drift, GPS altitude, etc…). Your current GPS position is displayed in the status area on the bottom of the page.&#x20;

Advanced settings let you know the signal strength of each satellite. The gray bars show the signals received by the Evolution but not used for the calculation. The black bars show a signal used to locate you.&#x20;

<figure><img src="/files/AKTk0Lj757VUWXsbwPuC" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Choose the GNSS you want to use with the Evolution. At most 3 can be activated simultaneously: **GPS**: Navstar (USA), **GAL**: Galileo (European), **BEI**: Beidou (Chinese), **QZS**: Quasi-Zenith Satellite (Japanese), **GLO**: Glonass (Russian).                                                                                                                                           The satellite-based augmentation ([SBAS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNSS_augmentation)) of the Evolution GNSS chip is active by default.

About the « reset to factory defaults » button:                                                                                                   The first step after a reset to factory defaults consists in calibrating the touchscreen. This is done by clicking on each of the 5 crosses.                                                                                                                           See a [video explaining a touchscreen reset](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TIZuv4vFBdQ).&#x20;

<figure><img src="/files/MckBYvnclqN9rWrWmzne" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Then comes the calibration of the magnetometer. This is done by turning the instrument in all possible directions (360° vertically and horizontally). Click anywhere on the screen once done.                           This step is important because it will highly influence the precision of the magnetometer.                     See a [video explaining the magnetometer reset](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qb09M1eAaO8).&#x20;

Notes about navigation routes:

\-       Creating a route is only possible if at least 1 waypoint is available in the instrument.

\-       Creating a waypoint requires a name, its GPS coordinates, and its altitude. The altitude is not mandatory, but is required to display the “glide ratio to waypoint” item.

If you already have a waypoints file, it is possible to send this file with the SYS PC Tool by clicking the “**Send a file to the instrument**” icon.&#x20;

<figure><img src="/files/fS0u9YWmWWJp2zvm61h9" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

\-       Waypoint files should be in Oziexplorer or CompeGPS .wpt format.

\-       Using [GPSDump software](http://www.gpsdump.no/) (above versions 5.28 for PC, 0.52 for Mac and 0.24 for Linux) is also an alternative solution. GPSDump supports more waypoints file formats, and handles waypoints more efficiently. Please note that GPSDump will not erase existing waypoints in the instruments whereas SYS PC Tool will.

\-       To skip a waypoint before reaching it, and switch to the next one, you can click one the “**Switch to the next waypoint**” icon in the navigation menu (only visible when a route is active).&#x20;

<figure><img src="/files/19VBHz87OUI05ri2jjDb" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

\-       To be able to follow your route, you must insert dedicated items, such as “**waypoint information**” in your screen configuration file (see “Customize the flight screen and vario”).&#x20;

About the online “Route Maker” tool:

Out of competition, the simplest way to create a route or a list of waypoints is to use our online tool, called « ***Route maker*** ». Simple, fast and efficient, you can create a route in a few minutes.

To build a route with the online tool « ***Route maker*** » :

1. Go to the webpage <http://www.syride.com/fr/route> or click on the Syride Tools menu in SYS PC TOOL *.*
2. This online tool allows to define waypoints, cylinders… When your route is ready, click on the **Download the route file** button to save it on your computer, or on the **Directly upload the route to your instrument** button to send it to your instrument which should be connected and turned on).&#x20;

<figure><img src="/files/EmJ5gu59rQLdtF8g356L" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Please note that only the first method will allow you to keep a backup of your route file on your computer. Direct upload might not be available on all Operating System and browsers.&#x20;

3. If you’ve downloaded the route file to your computer, turn on your Evolution and connect it to your computer, then click on the “**Send a file to the instrument**” icon in SYS PC TOOL&#x20;

<figure><img src="/files/zCYfMJAgXsSN8djYeQt7" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Here are the steps to create a route in the instrument:

&#x20;First you will have to give your route a name, and define if it is a Competition route or not. This choice is important as it will allow specific waypoint types for competition, such as ESS, SSS, Goal…&#x20;

<figure><img src="/files/h84Rl7znCa0EuumpIiNR" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

For a competition route, you will be asked the kind of task. This choice will impact the start validation conditions.&#x20;

<figure><img src="/files/u8TAzuAhshnjBeZCDPXC" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Here are the waypoint types available in competition mode:

&#x20;**Take-off**: this waypoint is optionnal and can only be set as the first waypoint of the route. It’s not used for navigation, but allows to display the full length of the task.

&#x20;**Start of Speed Section (SSS)**: this waypoint is mandatory in a competition route creation. It can be validated by entering it (enter) or exiting it (exit). A start time must be defined.

&#x20;\-       SSS in a **race to goal** task: with an exit start, if the pilot is inside the cylinder at the start time, the start is validated, and the Evolution switch the navigation to the next waypoint. With an enter start, if the pilot is inside the cylinder at the start time, the waypoint will only be validated upon cylinder entry crossing after the start time. In both cases, the competition time will begin as of the start time (SSS validated or not).

&#x20;\-       SSS in an **elapsed time** task: unlike in race to goal tasks, the competition time will only start after crossing the start cylinder (enter or exit direction) after the start time. It is possible to cross as many times as desired the start cylinder, the competition time being reset each time you cross it, as long as you haven’t validated the next waypoint.

&#x20;\-       SSS in **race to goal with multiple starts** tasks: in addition to classic race to goal tasks information, you will have to enter the number of gates and the time intervals between these gates. Here’s an example of tasks using multiple starts: a task with 5 starts at 13:00 / 13:20 / 13:40 / 14:00 / 14:20 should be input with a 13:00 start time, 5 gates with 20 minutes interval. The time taken will be that of the start before your last crossing of the waypoint. If I cross the SSS cylinder at 13:25, the start will be 13:20 and your competition time will be 5min. If you cross the start again at 13:41, your competition time will be 1min.&#x20;

<figure><img src="/files/s0pW1lqZ2ju5cPUkPagQ" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

**End Speed Section (ESS)**: ESS waypoint is only available after a SSS has been put in the route. It defines when your competition time ends. However, the task will only be finished if you make it to the goal.                                                                                                                                                                         **Please note: you will not be able to end your competition route without defining an ESS**.

**Conical End Speed Section (ESS)**: same as classic ESS except that you will have to enter the cone’s incline instead of its radius (PWC rules define a 0.4 incline by default).

**Goal cylinder**: this is the last waypoint to put in a route. It’s optional.

**Goal line**: same as before, the goal line is a finish line (displayed as half a circle). The default virtual goal line (according to PWC rules) extends to 100m each side of the GPS goal coordinates, to a total of 200 m, and is perpendicular to the line between the goal point and the previous turnpoint coordinates. The minimum length of the line is 50m.&#x20;

# XVII.	Navigation : airspaces menu

To reach this page, slide up from any flight screen to make menus appear, then click « Navigation menu » button, then click « Airspaces » button. When approaching an airspace, an audible and visual alarm appears : « pre-violation + airspace name » appears on the bottom of the. If you enter this airspace, a new alarm triggers and a message « violation + airspace name » displays.

This menu allows the pilot to enable or disable an airspace alarm. A disabled airspace will be ignored in all airspace-related items, including the MAP item and audio warnings.&#x20;

<figure><img src="/files/MfOKCotseuKYDu9gEScs" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

<figure><img src="/files/z9vVGWwXS671oFKmVv1G" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Here’s how to update airspaces in the Evolution:

1\)    Go to this page : <https://www.syride.com/en/airspace> or click on the **Syride Tools** menu in SYS PC TOOL

2\)    Select the countries you need from Syride online tool, then download the OpenAir file to your computer.

3\)    Turn-on and connect your Evolution to your computer.

4\)    On the SYS PC Tool, click on the “**Send a file to the instrument**” icon.

5\)    Select the previously downloaded OpenAir file.&#x20;

<figure><img src="/files/5G0GwswWoHXP9sozHxSy" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

A few useful tips and informations about airspaces:

&#x20;\-      **The data provided in the airspace files that you can download from Syride are not official**, and you should not use your Evolution as a main navigation reference. Please refer to the official sources of aeronautical information (for example: <http://www.sia.aviation-civile.gouv.fr/> for France). These files are usually provided free of charge by the federations, the information they contain is not guaranteed and we shall not be liable for the consequences of their uses.

&#x20;\-       We advise you to check the **version of the file** you intend to load. Airspace evolves on regular basis. In addition, **zones can change class depending on the time of the year and time of day** and may not be visible on the instrument (for example: Chambery TMA which passes from a class D to a class E).

&#x20;\-       A knowledge of **aeronautical rules** an a **flight briefing** are mandatory to correctly use the information given by the instrument.&#x20;

\-       Some **temporary forbidden zones** may exist. They are signaled by NOTAM (notice to Airmen) and cannot be handled by the instrument.

&#x20;\-       **In France, VFR flights without radio contact are limited to flight level 115** (about 3450 m). It is allowed to fly above this limit in zones called class E LTA (Vanoise, Bauges, Mont Blanc…). **You should consult each countries regulation to learn about local rules**.

&#x20;\-       You can **add your own airspace files**, as long as they respect the Openair format.

&#x20;\-       For ease of calculation and readability, **airspaces that are 5000ft above your current altitude will not be listed in the menu nor displayed on the 3D and map**. The refresh of the list is done every 2 minutes.

&#x20;\-       **Airspaces with more than 150 polygon points** can not be technically represented on the 3D view.

&#x20;\-       **Airspaces that are based on altitude above ground** (AGL) can have a different representation than reality on the 3D view. However, violation alarms will be triggered correctly.


# XVIII.	Advanced setup (software)

Connect your Evolution to the SYS PC Tool in order to get access to advanced options. From these advanced options, you can, for example:

\-       Change the averaging time of the vario.

\-       Change the G-force alarm threshold value

\-       Change airspace pre-violation vertical and horizontal distances.

&#x20;To access these advanced parameters :

1\)     Turn-on and connect your Evolution to your computer.

2\)     On the SYS PC Tool software, click on the “Parameters” icon to open the setting window.

3\)     Modify any value.

4\)     Click on « **Send parameters** ».
