Hooking up an XRX to PocketFMS is simple and easy. An available Bluetooth device enables your XRX to send traffic wirelessly to the PocketFMS device. Or, a serial cable is available for devices that may not have an available Bluetooth channel.

What you see

Increase your Traffic IQ With the Zaon XRX attached to a device running PocketFMS, other traffic in your vicinity is depicted as red aircraft on the Moving Map screens. Alongside each contact, the relative altitude and distance are displayed. An arrow indicates the traffic's trend: climbing or descending. You can control your Zaon XRX from within PocketFMS; Range, Altitude, Plane type, Sound on/off can all be set without even touching your XRX.

How to hook it up

Wireless Simplicity  To make hookup as painless as possible, a Bluetooth module is available from Zaon that sends XRX information wirelessly to any Bluetooth-enabled device, including Pocket PCs and Tablets. Alternately, a connection can be made via a serial-to-USB cable, or a standard serial cable, depending on the particular platform on which the PocketFMS software is being used.

Requirements

These minimum requirements are needed to show traffic:

• XRX with any version of firmware
• PocketFMS v0.9.68 or higher on a compatible Pocket PC, Windows Mobile cell-phone, Tablet PC, UMPC, notebook, or car-nav system
• Zaon Bluetooth module or appropriate cable
