Safety information
The XC-Trainer is equipped with an advanced 20 channel GPS receiver. With sufficient
satellite coverage this will guarantee very high position accuracy.
Maps with inaccurate altitudes, incorrect altitude settings (pilot error) or simple instrument
defects may lead to erroneous altitude indications. The pilot should always fly based on
their own sound judgement and skills, and not rely solely on any instrument. This is
particularly the case when flying with reduced visibility or when landing.
The manufacturer is not liable for damage incurred due to erroneous altitude or position
indication by the instrument.
Consulting or even working with, the instrument should only be done when the situation
allows it – otherwise please rely on the acoustic signals.
The XC-Trainer must be mounted in a way that does not endanger neither pilot nor
tandem passenger (if applicable) in any way. Always make sure the XC-Trainer is
mounted so that it does not impede the pilot’s movements in the air on when
launching/landing. Finally it is important to check that neither instrument nor part thereof
may come loose, fall down and possibly hurt someone during the flight.
The XC-Trainer should always be secured using the safety lanyard,
see illustration.
Before launching the pilot should verify that the instrument is working and that the
rechargeable battery has sufficient power to last the entire flight.
The XC-Trainer is spray-proof but not waterproof. Should water manage to find it’s way
into the instrument we recommend opening the instrument and removing the batteries
immediately. Then the innards may be dried carefully with a hair dryer (never attempt to
dry in a microwave oven!). Should the instrument become flooded with seawater it must be
thoroughly rinsed with fresh water before drying. Following this a comprehensive check at
AIRCOTEC is then required.
You use the XC-Trainer at you own risk. The manufacturer is not liable for damage or loss
resulting from the use of the instrument, or the software included in the package.

Maintenance and care
The XC-Trainer is a technologically advanced and reliable instrument. With the
proper maintenance and care it will give you many hours of trouble-free service. Not
following these simple guidelines may severely compromise you flight instrument:
Never drop the XC-Trainer or expose it to hard shocks/impacts
Never drop in water. Ensure that water does not penetrate the instrument cover.
It is NOT waterproof, and particularly salt water may lead to extensive damage
to the electronics. Protect from salt-water spray, rain and humidity. Should the
instrument get wet wipe it dry immediately? In case of water getting inside the
instrument we suggest you let us check it for you at AIRCOTEC.
Protect the instrument from extreme temperatures. Both extreme highs and lows
adversely affect battery performance and lifespan, and high temperatures in
combination with humidity will accelerate any corrosion.
