Sensitivity :
This is the climb threshold, in cm/s, at which the vario will begin to emit an audible signal.

leBipBip+ charges continuously when it's in the sun! Allow around 10h ofdirect sunlight to fully charge it.
When the battery level is low (20%), the LED flashes red. This indicates that you need to leave the instrument in the sun to recharge it.
Note: be careful not to leave leBipBip+ behind a window or windscreen in your car, as this will not charge your BipBip+ and could damage the battery.
2 Velcro buckles are supplied with leBipBip+ to attach it to your equipment.
You can stick one Velcro strap to the back of your helmet, and if necessary, stick the second to the shoulder strap of your harness.
If you need to see the BipBip+'s LED, you can place it directly on your cockpit, or use the two Velcro loops glued together around the elevator.
Note: Make sure you always place leBipBip+ on the back of the helmet, not on the side, to avoid inconsistent beeps due to changes in the relative wind (e.g. when the rider turns their head).
If you need to, you can perform a factory reset at any time by pressing and holding the button for around 20 seconds: the default settings will be restored.
