12) Troubleshooting

This section helps you resolve the most common issues that may occur when using the Solar.


The Solar does not turn on

  • Check that the battery is sufficiently charged.

  • Recharge the instrument using a USB-C cable or expose it to light to activate solar charging.

  • If the instrument still does not turn on, perform a simple reset by pressing and holding the power button for 30 seconds.


The Solar does not connect to the application

Check that:

  • the Solar is turned on,

  • Bluetooth is enabled on your phone,

  • the application is open,

  • the Solar is selected in the application’s Bluetooth sensors.

Restart the Solar and the application if necessary.


No sound is emitted

  • Check the volume level by briefly pressing the button.


The variometer seems inaccurate

  • Check that the Solar is correctly positioned in an area sheltered from relative wind.

  • Avoid positions directly exposed to airflow or subject to rapid movements.

  • Resetting the instrument may also improve operation.


The flight is not recorded

Check that:

  • the Solar is connected to the Syride Link application,

  • the application is active,

  • the phone’s GPS is enabled,

  • the phone has proper GPS reception.

Without connection to the application, no flight can be recorded.


The Solar is not charging

  • Check the USB-C cable and the power source.

  • The orange LED should show a variation in intensity indicating that charging is in progress.

  • Solar charging depends on lighting conditions and may be slower.


The issue persists

  • Perform a simple reset or a factory reset via Syride Link.

  • If the problem persists, contact Syride support.
