1. Practice and race using the basic functions Now you can start using your Laptimer The Laptimer have some different operating modes We have already told you about the setup mode To use the basic functions of the Laptimer you need to know these three modes e First lap mode the Laptimer always starts in this mode e Running mode the Laptimer shifts to running mode when passing the finish line e Pit mode Enter pit mode by pressing MODE from First lap or Running mode After reading the information about the three modes you can use the basic functions of your Laptimer in practice and race When you are familiar with these functions we recommend that you start to take advantage of the more advanced functions these will really help you to improve your lap times Operating modes FIRST LAP MODE Ghent ar if Sr ja T U UH When the Laptimer is turned on with the MODE button it starts up in first lap mode This is the part of the race going from the pit to the finish line for the first time w m It will always start from the last lap shown in the Laptimer so you will never overwrite anything when turning the Laptimer on If you are not in first lap mode when the engine is started the Laptimer will automatically change to first lap mode when it detects a signal from the RPM sensor This way you cannot drive around in pit mode and think you are getting lap times It is however possible to change back to pit m
