1.2 Battery information

NANO is powered by a rechargeable battery. The battery can be charged and discharged

hundreds of times, but it will eventually wear out. Only use the approved battery and

recharge your battery only with approved chargers.

Unplug the charger from the electrical plug and the device when not in use. Do not leave a

fully charged battery connected to a charger as overcharging may shorten its life. If left

unused, a fully charged battery will lose its charge over time. Use the battery only for its

intended purpose. Never use any charger or battery that is damaged.

If the battery pack is mishandled, the battery pack can burst, cause a fire or even chemical

burns. Observe the following precautions.

Do not disassemble.

Do not crush and do not expose the battery pack to any shock or force

such as hammering, dropping or stepping on it.

Do not short circuit and do not allow metal objects to come into contact

with the battery terminals.

Do not expose to high temperature above 60°C (140°F) such as in direct

sunlight or in a glider parked in the sun.

Do not incinerate.

Do not handle damaged or leaking lithium ion batteries.

Be sure to charge the battery pack using supplied battery charger or a

device that can charge the battery pack.

Keep the battery pack out of the reach of small children.

Keep the battery pack dry.

3Basics

3.1 NANO at a glance

The NANO flight recorder is the smallest flight recorder designed in accordance with “All

Flights” IGC specification. It has an IGC approval for all flights including world records. It

features an integrated 66-channel GPS receiver with built-in antenna, altitude sensor, ENL

sensor, security micro-switch, Bluetooth module and 1700mAh battery.

The built-in battery allows up to 35 hours of stand-alone operation. The battery is charged

when the flight recorder is connected to a computer, NanoPower or wall charger.

Operation temperature for nano is from -20°C(68°F) to +60°C(140°F). Higher

temperatures may cause inflating battery.

Bluetooth is used for easy data exchange with a PDA.

The housing is made of robust ABS plastic. On the left side there is a micro-SD card slot,

rocker button and five status LEDs. LEDs display the operational status.

A 2 GB SD card 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).

On the right side there is small hole with a reset button. Use a pin to press the reset button.

In normal operation, this button should never be used.

At the back there is a mini USB connector, which is used for charging and data transfer.

The SD card is preloaded with the Nanoconfig program, which is used for uploading flight

declaration and changing the settings of the NANO. Flight declarations can be also uploaded

using a serial interface cable or Bluetooth (See chapter 5.1 for more details).

time and the NANO flight recorder will switch off. When flying press or move the button for

a short time and a pilot initiated event will be recorded and the flight recorder will then log

30 fixes with a recording rate of one second.

At the same time the LEDs will indicate the battery status.

If you move rocker button twice in direction towards SD card, Nano will toggle on

and off Bluetooth.
