Change settings without a computer
If you want to change the settings: double click and hold the second click for one second. To
go to the desired setting press the button once briefly; with a long press to select/change the
setting.
It is very easy to add a buddy at takeoff who also uses a variometer with Flarm. Switch on
the XC Tracer Maxx and the vario of your friend, and wait until both vario's have a GPS fix.
Now go to the settings of Maxx (double click and hold the second click for one second), then
go to the menu "Add Buddy" with short clicks, then select this menu with a long click. Now
you will see all the Flarm devices that are available within a radius of 50m around you.
Navigate to the ID of the buddy with short clicks, and then select this ID with a long click. The
ID of the buddy is now saved, and the radio ID will no longer get displayed.
Go back in selecting "Back", and then check under "Remove Buddy" whether the buddy has
been saved. If you want to remove a buddy you can do this here, just select the buddy you
want to remove and then delete the entry with a long click.
You can add up to 8 buddies in total. If you want to give a buddy a different name than for
example Buddy3 you can do this on the computer by changing the name of the buddy in the
config file.
Below "Remove Buddy" you will find the entry "SAR Buddy". Here you can check where your
buddies have been when XC Tracer Maxx has received the last Flarm signal from them. This
can be helpful in search and rescue operations to quickly find a missing paraglider or hang
glider.
The remaining entries are self-explanatory.
