Default Inertial sensing in Butterfly Vario, TE vs Airmass indicators

Marc,

I flew this weekend and now I have more questions.

1. I connected my power flarm portable to the rear seat vario, and turned on the flarm designator in both units. The rear seat display worked but not the front. How do I get both to display traffic.

2. Does the flarm screen with the bigX only change when traffic is near, or should it have a different screen once the Flarm is connected? In my case the rear unit switched to a flarm screen only when traffic was near. The front display never did anything.

3. I tried all kinds of settings for the SC dead band, and had my rear seat passenger duplicate those settings. At no time did I achive a deadband, or notice any change at all. What am I doing wrong? What settings would you suggest for a fairly wide cruise audio dead band?

4. What baud rate, and sentence should I select in the Flarm setup page?

5. Where do I change the volume for the voice commands and alarms?

The rear unit is designated #1 and the front #2 . The Flarm is connected to the rear #1 unit.

Thanks once again for your help. I love the instrument in spite of all the teething problems.

Dale
