1 – Introduction

Thank you for choosing a PZRacing product. Start is a state-of-the-art GPS chronometer. There are many advantages to this technology: you will no
longer need to place a bulky infra-red transmitter at the side of the track, you can even view split times on the display and thanks to specially designed
software, you can view all the trajectories covered on a given track. Start is the only chronometer in the world to use a 50Hz receiver and a touch screen
pad with "Gloves Sensitive" technology which makes it possible to use the device even when wearing gloves.

Start Next and Start Basic are two chronometers of the same product line and they function in the same way. However, Start Basic
does not allow data acquistion; all channels connected to the device can be viewed on the screen but will not be saved.

Please note: PZRacing products are water resistant but not waterproof; do not wash the product with pressurised water and keep
the lateral tab closed at all times; failure to do so could cause permanent damage to the product.

1.1 – GPS Technology

The Global Positioning System (also known as GPS) is a satellite positioning and navigation system which, thanks to a network of artificial satellites in
orbit, sends information about geographic coordinates and the time to a GPS receiver, in any weather conditions and on any place on Earth. Its
functioning principle is based on a spherical positioning method which measures the time taken by a radio signal to cover the distance from a satellite to
a receiver. One of the main features of GPS receivers is the update frequency expressed in Hertz (Hz); this measurement unit indicates how many times
per second the satellite receiver is capable of updating its position. Start has a state-of-the-art GPS receiver with an updating frequency of 50Hz (50
times per second), which translates into higher precision in calculating the time and visualising trajectories.

1.4 – Important information for correct usage

– This device is to be used exclusively in open spaces
– In order to use the device, you must wait for satellite reception to have been completed; the GPS icon in the top left hand corner will appear on

a black background when reception is complete (see chap. 4.4)

– After a long period of inactivity, satellite detection may take up to 4/5 minutes
– In normal conditions when used on the track, satellite retrieval will only take a few seconds.

2 – Chronometer components

2.1 – Touch screen

Start has eliminated selection buttons which are difficult to press when wearing gloves; with Start, you select and scroll directly on the display thanks to
a touch screen pad and "Gloves Sensitive technology" which makes it possible to apply the pressure required even when wearing gloves. In addition, the
icons make it even more simple and intuitive to use the device.

3 – Installation

3.1 – Positioning

Start's integrated GPS receiver make installation easy. Place the chronometer in a spot where it
has good visibility of the sky and where the pilot can see it well. The GPS receiver is located in
the superior part of the device, this is why it is advisable to install Start vertical with

the receiver facing upwards, see side picture.

In horizontal position the GPS signal suffers strong degradations as the GPS
receiver view only one part of the sky and will also receive an amount of reflected
waves from the ground that disturb the signal quality.

N.B: check that nearby and over the upper side of the product, where the gps receiver is located, there’s no metal, carbon or
electronic items; one of these items could cause the degradation of the satellite signal and the malfunction of the lap timer.

N.B: don’t place the lap timer on the original dashboard of the motorbike because the internal electronic of the dash could cause
the degradation of the satellite signal and the malfunction of the lap timer.

Note for R1 2015/16: don’t place the lap timer nearby the original dashboard of the motorbike because the internal electronic of the
TFT dash causes the degradation of the satellite signal and the malfunction of the lap timer. Place the lap timer in vertical position
over the fork plate.

It is possible to fix the device with the plastic Velcro provided or create a bracket following these instructions:

- Prepare a bracket with an 11mm hole (GENERAL SUPPORT)

- Insert the head of the M6 bolt in the designated space on the back of the
shell of the Start device

- Fix the bolt with the plastic adaptor making the seat match the head of
the bolt.

- Secure the 4 screws to fix the plastic adaptor

- Insert an anti-vibration washer in the bolt between the shell and the
bracket

- Insert the bolt into the bracket

- Insert the second anti-vibration washer

- Insert the flat metal washer

- Place the nut provided on top of the metal washer and screw to hold in
place

Please note: absence of anti-vibration washers or incorrect positioning of these could damage the device due to vibrations of the
vehicle. This type of damage is not covered by the guarantee as it is not caused by a product defect but incorrect installation.

3.2 – Power

Start is fitted with a 2800mA lithium battery; you can see the status of the battery on the icon in the top right hand corner of the main screen.

Battery charge Low battery

To charge the battery, attach the USB connector of Start to a power source or USB port on your PC using the USB cable provided; the image of a battery
being charged will appear on the display together with the charging percentage.

Once the battery is fully charged, "Charging complete 100%" will appear on your display; you can now disconnect the USB cable.
You can also charge the product directly on the vehicle by purchasing the optional SS12V100 cable or the SS12CAR cigar lighter cable; when using these

devices, the battery will be charged only when the product is switched on.

Please note: in order to use some of the sensors to apply to the Expansion modules, you need to use the optional SS12V100 cable;
read the technical description of the sensors you wish to install carefully.
