serial nr of the unit, will be visible on device list, when in range and turned on. Pair code will be requested to

15.3 Usage
Bluetooth communication is designed to be used in double seat gliders, so 2
nd
seat PDA/PNA can get all the
data via BT or when only power cables are provided in glider for PDA/PNA (Club gliders).
16 User port
LX Eos uses User port (RS232 standard) to connect to third party devices such as PDA/PNA (Oudie, Mio,..),
radio (KRT2)
Connect any third party device only with LX Navigation supported cable. Any unsupported cable may
damage LX Eos or third party device beyond repairs. For successful communication correct BR must be
selected under NMEA settings.
Note: For some PDA (for example HP314 ....) it is preferable to set the USER Port at BR115200 or at least
at the maximum BR that is supported by the PDA. This can help to avoid communication problems during
the declaration from PDA to LX Eos
