Welcome to the
complete racing system derived from the legacy, the
includes a GPS speedo, 9 axis gyro-compensated
magnetic compass, race timer, distance to the start line and all other essential
and advanced race functions.
The new features a Bluetooth communication
transceiver offering a wide range of functions and applications:
•
Record up to 1248 hours of racing (1 point / 30 seconds)
•
Replay on Google Earth and other navigational software
•
Computer management of 100 waypoints, including their coordinates and
descriptions
•
Computer management of 20 routes imported from Google Earth and
defined by existing waypoints
•
Updates with new features
The usage of the is greatly simplified with 3 buttons
dedicated to starting the timer and defining the start line points at your finger tips.
Introduction

The mounting location should be as far as possible from any magnetic objects to
avoid any interference with the magnetic compass sensor.
The should be mounted as close as possible to the
vertical and horizontal planes.
Note:
Wherever you mount the , 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.
Note:
If your isn’t facing the same direction as the
boat, you can compensate this difference in the parameter tab of the " S360
Pocket V2 Wireless Manager" PC software.

Switching power on and o
•
Make sure the battery is installed with the correct polarity and has enough
remaining power (positive pole inserted first).
•
Press the lower to start the device.
•
Press and hold the lower 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 remains in the horizontal position for
more than 3 minutes.
Upon switching on, the remaining memory time for the data logger is displayed for
5 seconds. This ’GPS LOG’ time 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. o
liquid should get into the battery compartment otherwise this may cause internal

damage. The 2 springs for +/- contacts in the battery compartment can be
removed/cleaned with rubbing alcohol or similar and then put back in place.
Note:
If the battery is almost discharged, the GPS functions are automatically
deactivated (’OFF’ is displayed) in order to save power. Only the functions linked
to the magnetic compass are activated and the battery indicator will blink.
Note:
Until enough satellites are locked, the is not
ready for use. For the modes SPE, SLD and Wxx, the screen displays ’---’. For
the MAX speed sub-mode, the maximum value is displayed but blinking until
ready.
Note:
Disposable alkaline batteries are not recommended, but can be used to
reach the maximum 40-hour battery life of the . It is
mandatory to remove disposable batteries if the device is not going to be used
for a prolonged period of time (a week or more) to avoid battery leakage, as this
will irreversibly damage the battery compartment. Therefore we recommend
that rechargeable batteries with a low self discharge rate should be used (normal
rechargeable batteries lose their stored energy quickly even when they are not
being used), and will last for 30 hours or more. Recommended batteries are
SA YO E ELOOP, GP RECYKO+, U IROSS HYBRIO (2000mA or more typical
capacity).
Switching backlight on and o
•
Press and hold upper for more than 1 second until the icon is
displayed on the screen.
•
To turn off the backlight, press and hold the upper for more than 1
second until the icon disappears from the screen.
Note
:
When you press and hold the upper button to switch on/off the
backlight, you will not make any mode selection.

•
line is ’ CTIVE’ when the icon appears inside. To activate a line,
you need to push once in front of the chosen line. The icon
appears.
•
fter activiting a line, choose the mode and sub-mode required on the
’ CTIVE’ line by pushing and then the arrows and for the sub-
mode selection.
•
You are free to choose any mode on each line independantly.
GPS record status
•
When the icon is displayed, the GPS trace is recording.
•
The "NS360 Pocket V2 Wireless Manager" PC software gives you three
options at startup : GPS trace record disabled, GPS trace record always ON
and GPS trace record starts at the end of timer countdown.
•
For more information please refer to the online manual of the "NS360
Pocket V2 Wireless Manager" PC software.

Speed mode: SPE
This mode provides the speed over ground of the boat as measured by the GPS
receiver. The sub-modes provide several speed resolutions, the trip distance and
the maximum speed. The boat speed is displayed in knots (kts) with an accuracy
of 0.1 knots. The minimum speed is 0.5 knots.
•
Use the arrows and to scroll the sub-modes.
Speed sub-modes
•
Hi: High sensitivity
The high sensitivity speed 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.
•
Max: Speed MAXimum
The maximum speed that the boat has reached since the last reset.
Note
:
For the ’Max’ sub-mode, don’t forget to reset the maximum speed before
your next sail begins to ensure the value displayed refers to the new trip.
•
TRP: TRiP distance
The TRP mode displays the total distance made by the vessel since the last
reset.
Note
:
For the ’TRP’ sub-mode don’t forget to reset the trip before your next sail
begins to ensure the value displayed refers to the new trip.
Operations
10
To reset the maximum speed or trip distance:
•
Select the maximum speed or the trip distance in the sub-mode
•
Tilt the device 90 degrees to the right or left for more than 3 seconds
•
The selected sub-mode is reset
Magnetic Heading compass mode: HDG
To win races you need to react to the smallest wind shifts. The
digital compass delivers precise and reliable
heading information to help you to tack and jibe at the most suitable times.
The sensitivity of the compass can easily be adjusted to High, Medium or Low by
scrolling through the sub-modes.
•
Use the arrows and to scroll the sub-modes
Sub-modes of the Magnetic Heading compass:
•
Hi: High sensitivity
When sailing with light winds and flat seas, high sensitivity allows you to
appreciate very small wind variation.
•
Med: Medium sensitivity
Medium sensitivity is more suitable for race boats under medium wind and sea
conditions. Dinghy racers will appreciate this mode.
•
Low: Low sensitivity
