Notices
Your Clarity receiver is not certified. Do not use
as a primary or backup flight instrument, or as a
means of traffic detection, separation, or
collision avoidance. Users assume all risk
associated with the use of Clarity receivers.
Your Clarity receiver receives some but not
all traffic information.
Do not store your Clarity receiver in your
aircraft. Do not store Clarity where
temperatures exceed 122⁰ F (50⁰ C) or are below
14⁰ F (-10⁰ C). Do not operate where
temperatures exceed 112⁰ F (45⁰ C) or are
below 14⁰ F (-10⁰ C).
Your Clarity receiver contains a lithium polymer
battery. Do not disassemble the device. Do not
incinerate or puncture the device or battery.
Ensure that disposal is in accordance with local
requirements for the recycling of electronic
appliances and batteries. Check with current
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) rules
before carrying Clarity inside checked luggage.

Quick Start Steps
1) Charge Clarity
For best results charge Clarity prior to use
with the provided charger and cable.
2) Turn Clarity On
Clarity SV Only:
Clarity SV warms up for 15 seconds (flashing
AHRS light). During the warmup period, you
may reposition Clarity SV. Next, Clarity SV
performs alignment (flickering AHRS light)
for 45 seconds. Keep Clarity SV still or fly
straight and level while the AHRS light
flickers.
Clarity SV automatically corrects for minor
installation tilt such as the slope of your
glare shield but cannot correct for yaw
error. Always position Clarity SV with the
arrow pointing forward.
3) Connect to iPad/tablet Wi-Fi
Go to iPad > Settings > Wi-Fi
Select the Wi-Fi Network with “Clarity” in
the name.
4) Start your Charting or Electronic Flight Bag
(EFB) App

A note from Sagetech’s President
Congratulations for choosing Safety. Clarity
stands alone in offering the finest design and
engineering available and contrasts sharply with
products from other companies jockeying to be
cheapest. At Sagetech, we know only Excellence
and Elegance, and Clarity is a shining example of
that culture.
During Clarity’s development, we faced many
challenges and often turned to our principles of
Excellence and Elegance for guidance. We
resisted temptations to double Clarity’s size,
reduce receiver robustness standards, or employ
cheap design shortcuts. Our amazing
engineering team stayed the course to produce
one of our greatest achievements ever.
I believe Clarity squarely hits the mark with
fabulous styling, incredible sophistication and
capability, yet with the simplicity of a single
button. I’m proud to offer you Clarity as one of
our finest works of engineering and design, a
high performance work of art.
Congratulations for choosing Safety.
Kelvin Scribner
President, Sagetech Corporation

Description
Clarity and Clarity SV are Automatic Dependent
Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) receivers. They
receive Flight Information System-Broadcast
(FIS-B) and Traffic Information System-Broadcast
(TIS-B) messages from ground towers on 978
MHz. Traffic messages from nearby aircraft
equipped with ADS-B Out equipment are
received on both 978 MHz and 1090 MHz.
Clarity receivers relay these messages over
Wi-Fi to your iPad or other computer. Charting
or EFB software displays this information for
