Welcome to the ns-strrt pocket™ The NS-STRRT POCKET™ has been designed to provide essential information with a very simple and user friendly interface. Speed, heading, timer, start line distance and GPS coordinates functions are all accessible at the push of a button and clearly displayed on the backlit LCD, ideal for night sailing and enhanced safety. The new V2 version has an upgraded button panel and an LCD mounted on a soft silicon pad to withstand the toughest environment. It features also a Bluetooth communication transceiver offering a wide range of functions and applications: •...

Wherever you mount the NS-STRRT POCKET va, it shouldn’t be flush to any thick surface such as the hull, so that the sensitivity of the embedded GPS receiver is not affected. Also a direct mount on a metal surface will reduce the receiver sensitivity.

Press and hold for more than 4 seconds until the screen displays OFF and the sequence “3”, “2”, “1” is finished. The device will turn off automatically when it cannot receive any GPS signal for 2

Operations During the power up, the remaining time for the data logger is displayed for 5 seconds. This time, called GPS LOG, is given in hours as shown below. Note : If the device does not turn on, you need to check that the battery is fully charged, that the battery compartment is clean, dry and the polarity is correct. No liquid should get into the battery compartment as it may cause internal damage.

At the start time: • the timer starts counting the race duration in minutes and hours To synchronize the TIMER when it is stopped: • Long press 0 to synchronize to 5, 4 or 1 minutes (starting time). To start the TIMER: • Short press 0 to start the timer from the value previously set. To synchronize the TIMER when it is running: • Short press 0 to synchronize to 5, 4 or 1 minutes. If the timer value is greater than 2:45, the timer will synchronize to 4 minutes. If lower than 2:45, it will synchronize to 1 minute. The timer continues counting down. To stop the TIMER: • Press and hold 0 . Note...

The start line consists of 2 points which have to be aligned with the start line: • A : Commitee boat • q : Pin with the start line The committee coal reference outside the committee boat aliened with the start line. To memorize the start line points • Press 0 when you reach the committee boat reference point. • Press 0 when you reach the pin reference point. • The distance in meters is now displayed on the data line. Note : If the start line is modified by the committee, you may be required to reenter one or both reference points. Note : The distance from the front of the boat to the can...

A GPS data logger is embedded in the NS-STRRT POCKETva allowing you to download all your sailing data to your computer using the NS-STRRT POCKET va Wireless Manager software. Upon setting the GPS data logger start parameter, the logger will start recording as soon as enough satellites are locked or when the timer reaches 0:00’. The recording interval can also be set using the parameter GPS Logger Timing (see the SET mode, page 15 for details). Current GPS coordinates This mode allows the latitude and longitude of the current position to display (in degrees and decimal minutes). To activate...

The SET mode allows the adjustment of your NS-STRRT POCKET va parameters sequentially as follows : • Speed sensitivity • GPS heading sensitivity • Boat offset • GPS logger interval • GPS logger start condition • Time in seconds for the average maximum speed calculation • Current embedded firmware version To enter the SET mode : • Your device must be switched OFF. • Press first 0 then £3 simultaneously. The device will enter the setup menu: SET will be displayed on the upper line • Each parameter is displayed on the lower line. The required value is adjusted by the button O ). • The...

Note: You can exit the SET mode any time by restarting the device. Speed Over Ground sensitivity: SPE • Hi: High sensitivity The high sensitivity setting allows a very sensitive reading of any speed variation. • Med: Medium sensitivity This sub-mode provides an average speed of the boat over a short period of time. This is particularly useful when sailing with big waves upwind or downwind. • Low. Low sensitivity This sub-mode provides an average speed of the boat over a longer period of time. This is particularly useful in rough conditions with lots of speed changes.
