General Description
LXNAV NANO3 is the smallest IGC flight recorder with a QVGA screen. Fly without any cables and chargers! A 1800mAh battery serves up to 36h with advanced power management. The Nano3 has 4 push buttons for easy editing and a rocker button for setting volume/zoom and MacCready.
The built-in battery allows up to 25 hours of stand-alone operation. The battery can be charged when the flight recorder is connected to a computer, NanoPower or wall charger. Bluetooth is used for easy data exchange with a PDA.
The housing is made of robust ABS plastic. On the left side of the unit, there is a rocker button and five status LEDs which display the operational status. A 4 GB solid state disk is used for flight data storage. Flights are stored directly in IGC format and are downloadable through a USB connection which is compatible with all operating systems (MS Win, Linux and Mac OS).
At the back of the unit, there is a mini USB connector which is used for charging and data transfer. The internal solid-state disk is preloaded with the NanoConfig program. This program is used for uploading a flight declaration and/or changing the settings of the NANO3. Flight declarations can also be uploaded using a serial interface cable or Bluetooth connection.
