To connect it: * Turn on the Solar. * Enable Bluetooth on your phone. * Open your flight application (XCTrack, FlySkyHy or Syride Link). * Add the Solar as a Bluetooth sensor in the application settings. Once connected, variometer data is automatically transmitted to the application.\ The connection is saved by the application and will reconnect automatically during future uses. ⚠️ **Important note**: If after 5 minutes the Solar has not been connected to an application, it will automatically disable Bluetooth until the next startup. *** **Use with Syride Link** \ The Syride Link application allows you to take full advantage of the Solar.

It allows in particular: * instrument configuration, * automatic flight recording, * transfer of flights to your Syride flight book, * access to connected features of the Syride ecosystem. When the Solar is connected to Syride Link, variometer data is combined with the phone’s GPS data to record a complete flight. *** **Use with XCTrack, FlySkyHy and compatible applications** \ When the Solar is connected, the application uses the Solar’s variometer data to provide accurate and responsive vertical information. This notably allows: * improved variometer responsiveness, * more precise lift measurement, * improved flight comfort. The Solar operates in combination with your phone’s GPS, which provides position, speed and navigation data. *** **Automatic reconnection**\ Once paired, the Solar automatically reconnects to the application when it is opened and the instrument is turned on.\ No additional action is required. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://manuals.syride.com/solar-english-manual/5-bluetooth-connection-and-use-with-flight-applications.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
