User Manual XC Tracer Mini V1.0 Rev 01 25.2.2016
Quick Start Guide
XC Tracer Mini is an acoustic variometer powered by a solar cell. Whilst you’re waiting to take off,
point the device at the sun in such a way that the solar cell catches as much sunlight as possible.
Use the velcro to attach XC Tracer Mini to the shoulder strap of your harness, or to your cockpit, or
onto your thigh.
(NB. Do not attach it to your helmet or hang it round your neck using a cord!).
Position the device in such a way that the solar cell catches as much sunlight as possible during the
flight.
Switch on XC Tracer Mini by pressing and holding the red button until you hear beep-beep. The vario
will make some beeping sounds, and the white LED will start blinking every 2-3 seconds. Don’t worry
if you forget to switch on XC Tracer Mini before taking off, you can switch it on whilst flying.
The vario won’t beep on the ground, but as soon as you’re flying then XC Tracer Mini will indicate
the lift / sink rate with beeping tones. XC Tracer Mini has four volume settings: mute, gentle,
medium and loud. You can change the volume setting with a short push of the red button, always
cycling from mute – gentle - medium – loud – mute – gentle etc.
Once you’ve landed, turn off XC Tracer Mini by pressing and holding the red button until you hear
beep-beep (after approximately 3 seconds). XC Tracer Mini will then switch off and the LED will stop
blinking.
