I. Setup Syride communication software
This software is mandatory. It is called the « SYS PC Tool », and ables you to update your instrument,
fine-tune the settings, download your flights (and optionnaly send them to Syride online flightbook),
upload routes, waypoints, etc…
Please be aware that the SYS’Evolution is also compatible with GPSDump software (version 5.20 and
above).
1. Download the lastest version of the
SYS PC Tool by checking the following
webpage :
http://www.syride.com/en/logiciel
2. Follow the instructions to install it on
your computer
3. Once installed, an icon shows in the
task bar. It detects when your
instrument is connected.
4. The software will automatically start
with your operating system.

II. Turn ON and OFF the flight computer
It is important to know that compared to other displays, the one the SYS’Evolution is using does not
require any power to keep its image displayed. This is why when you received it, some information
may already be displayed on the screen!
1. To turn ON your flight computer, press the
START button once. A small red light
turns-on in the eye of the eagle to
indicate that the instrument is ON.
The boot sequence lasts a few seconds to
initialize all the sensors. The "GPS
booster" is then activated to minimize the
time of reception of the GPS signal. As
soon as the reception is sufficient, the
instrument will automatically switch to the
flight screen.
2. The instrument will be automatically turned
OFF after 20 minutes of inactivity (no
ground speed nor vario). To manually turn it
OFF, press the START button during 2
seconds, until the display wipes out.

III. Charge the battery
1. In order to charge the instrument, just
use any mini-USB cable that you could
connect to any power supply
(computer, phone charger, cigarette
lighter..). A red light on the battery icon
indicates the flight computer is
charging. A full charge from an empty
battery takes up to 8 hours. It is NOT
recommended to charge through a
USB hub device.
2. If the instrument is connected to a
computer a screen symbolizes it. You
can disconnect it at any time.
3. In running mod, draw a “slide-down”
movement on the screen with your
finger in order to display the top banner
during a few seconds.
4. Disconnect the instrument to stop
charging it. The Li-ion battery isn’t
affected by a memory effect.

IV. Place the instrument in flight
1. Syride suggest to place the
SYS’Evolution on a cockpit.
Two adhesive velcro bands are
included and can be sticked on the
back of the instrument.
Please take care not to obstruct the
Reboot hole with the velcro.
2. The size of the flight computer permits
to place it on a ventral rescue
parachute.
3. You can secure the SYS’Evolution
using the lanyard.
4. For more comfort, a neoprene
protection housing with velcros is sold
separately.

V. General ergonomics
While the instrument is running, the whole display is dedicated to flight items. In order to make the
menus appear, draw a slide-down or slide-up movement with your finger, By applying a slight
pressure on the screen :
- The top banner appears during a few seconds by sliding down :
- Slide left or right in order to go to next or previous flight screen :
- Slide UP to display menus :

For your information :
- A slight pressure must be applied to use the SYS'Evolution touchscreen. This
technology allows to use this instrument with gloves
- The take-off is automatically detected and starts the log. The flight time in the top
banner appears after take-off.
- The touch-screen is designed to be used with or without gloves.
- Any flight item that requires GPS needs at least 3 satellites. Otherwise, a “NO GPS”
message may show up instead of the item.
- The first GPS fix can take several minutes in case of long power-off or in case
of significant change in position. Any first GPS fix should be done outside.
We recommend you to turn ON the instrument a few minutes before taking-
off.
- The temperature only indicates the temperature of the electronics. This cannot be
used as a reference for ambient temperature.
- A 3.5mm jack socket is available on the right side of the device. Plugging a headset
automatically transfers any sound from the speaker to the headset (and cuts-off the
speaker).
