Introduction
e r o r n S p i r is t e l t st in S ti i g
technology intended for measuring lap times and analysing laps, as well as
logging many different performance tests and critical engine functions.
The software application that the RaceChrono TouchScreen unit uses was
originally developed as a free S60 mobile phone application by a Finnish
company named RaceChrono. The aim of RaceChrono was to give immediate
feedback of laps and to provide a way to analyze laps without transferring any
data to a computer. The software was particularly aimed towards recording lap
times in motor sports, but it had also a lot of users in down hill skiing, bicycling
and even horse racing.
With Lap timing feature you can test and improve your track driving skills.
RaceChrono supports both circuit and special stage type tracks. Of course using
this feature is not limited only to track driving; you can for example time your
commute to work.
RaceChrono offers its users a huge online track library containing the start,
finish and split lines for many different race tracks. There is currently over 200
tracks in 40 countries in the library, all of which are downloadable within the
application.
The R ceChrono Touch reen GPS ap Timer uses global po i ioning tem
and lap time error margin is typically 0.10-0.05 seconds depending on satellite
positioning accuracy and the position of the GPS receiver being used. The best
accuracy is gained using the external Bluetooth GPS receiver provided with the
Pro Kit, but the internal GPS receivers in the TouchScreen unit is supported as
well.
RaceChrono also has a performance testing feature which you can use to time
your car’s or bike’s performance on, for example, a quarter mile track, and view
the speeds at the finish line.

Initial set up
Before use please make sure that the RaceChrono Touchscreen Lap Timer has been fully charged.
Normal charge time is approximately three hours.
While charging a red LED light will be showing, the red light will go out when the unit is charged.
The RaceChrono Touchscreen GPS Lap Timer can be charged either via the wall charger, car charger
or USB cable. Battery operation time is approximately 2hrs continuous use and it is recommended
that this unit be turned off between lap timing sessions. Battery life can be extended when the unit
is in “locked” mode during lap timing (screen turned off but unit still functions).
If you have the RaceChono Pro System you will also need to fully charge the Qstarz GPS receiver.
Instructions for inserting the battery and charging can be found in the Qstarz Quick Guide. Battery
operation time is approximately 25hrs in 5Hz mode. This unit may be left on all day when lap timing.

Using the Touchscreen
Your new RaceChrono Touchscreen GPS Lap Timer is a precision instrument and contains sensitive
electronic hardware. To interact with functions on the screen you can use either your finger (for best
results use your fingernail) or the scribe provided (inserted into the bottom left corner of the unit).
Note: The RaceChrono Touchscreen uses a ‘One Click’ system...
Touch once to open an item. (equivalent to ‘double click’ on PC)
Touch and hold to select an item without opening (equivalent to ‘single click’ on PC)
Touch, hold and drag to scroll up and down, left and right.
Every care should be taken not to drop or damage the unit. You should also be careful when
mounting the unit to a motorcycle/kart using the 3M Dual Lock tape provided – try not to push on
the screen when mounting the unit. Physical damage to the unit will void your warranty.
Also be careful not to mount the unit in a position where it will get too hot. Running the unit in areas
that are above 40 degrees Celsius is not advisable and will void your warranty.
Note: The RaceChrono Touchscreen Lap Timer is not water proof. For use in wet conditions we
advise mounting the unit in a dry area on your motorcycle/kart or carrying the unit in your pocket.
Water damage to the unit will void your warranty.

Mounting the RaceChrono 3.5” GPS Touchscreen Lap Timer
Car
- Your RaceChrono GPS Lap Timer can be easily mounted to the windscreen of your car using the
Car Windscreen Mounting Kit supplied (see pic 1).
Motorcycle/Kart
- RaceChrono GPS Lap Timers come with several strips of 3M Dual Lock mounting
tape. This is the best and most reliable reclosable fastening system available and can be used to
mount the lap timer in a variety of different positions on a motorcycle including on the tank, triple
clamp, steering damper, steering wheel or to a custom made mount such as the one in Pic 2. When
using the 3M Dual Lock Tape, be sure to clean any mounting surfaces thoroughly with a paint safe
solvent such as Brake Clean or Prepsol and thoroughly test for good adhesion once the unit has been
mounted.
