To open the menu, simply swipe down on the screen with your finger or with touchscreen gloves.

Note: if you want to open the menu with a physical button, go to  Menu/Preferences/Key bindings and link the “show menu” action with the button of your choice.

To increase or decrease the brightness, you can click (short press) on the screen on the brightness widgets + or – with your finger (naked or with touchscreen gloves). Increasing the brightness provides you with better readability, decreasing the brightness provides you with more autonomy (a brightness of 50% gives you almost twice the autonomy). Look at the comparison made here and the video that shows the same.

Having the screen perpendicular to your look greatly increases readability and greatly reduces the need for brightness. If your cockpit cannot be tilted, we recommend using the AIR³ Base to tilt the instrument right in front of your eyes. If you are not using an AIR³, you can also use the Smart Multibase that fits most smartphones.

Thanks to the brightness widgets, you can easily adjust the brightness need according to the flight conditions. Read more details about the Display brightness widgets in the Action buttons subsection of the XCTrack Pro widgets manual 

To make a call, you can click (long press) on a pre-configured phone call widget with your finger (naked or with touchscreen gloves).

As soon as the call is made, you can take your brakes back in hand to control your wing. The built in speaker and microphone will let you communicate without losing control of your wing.

Check the quick video how to configure a Phone call widget here . Read more details on how to configure the Phone button in the  “Action buttons”  subsection of the XCTrack Pro widgets manual
