Caring for your XGPS160

XGPS160 IS NOT WATERPROOF!! A few drops won't hurt, but do not power-wash or allow sustained exposure to water.
Charge device regularly - Make sure it is powered off before connecting it to the charger for long periods. This will extend your battery life.

3. Mounting the XGPS160

Ideal mounting locations for the XGPS160 are the top of your helmet or on the front fender, use the black 3M velcro mounting strips included in your kit

- IMPORTANT TIP: Clean the mounting surface with 95% rubbing alcohol, contact cleaner, or an equivalent before applying the velcro mounting strip. This will ensure good adhesion. If you fail to do this, it's likely the XGPS160 will fall off, get damaged, or be lost.
Remove the adhesive backing and place the velcro on your helmet or fender. Wait 15 min before riding to ensure a good adhesive bond

4. Your First Session

You'll need to pair your XGPS160 with the LITPro App before recording your first session.

Follow these steps to pair your XGPS with the LITPro App

Turn on your XGPS
On your iOS device go to the settings menu > Bluetooth (turn on Bluetooth if it is off)
After a few seconds, your XGPS will be listed at the bottom of page under “Other Devices” as XGPS160-xxxxxx

*Please note every XGPS has their own unique code
Tap XGPS160-xxxxxx to connect it to your iOS device
After approximately 5-6 seconds, the XGPS160-xxxxxx status will change from “Not Connected” to “Connected”
The blue LED on your XGPS will blink rapidly and then stay illuminated, indicating a successful Bluetooth connection
Open the LITPro App and login into your account
Tap the “Add Session” tab at the bottom of the screen
Tap “Pair a new GPS receiver”
Go to "Track laps with XGPS160"
Click "I have an XGPS160"
Click on the designated XGPS160 you are connecting to.
Congrats! Your device is ready to record a session!

Recording your session

Wherever the XGPS160 is mounted (helmet, fender, or other), it should have a clear view of the sky
When you are ready to begin riding, double-click the button to start recording data (LED blinking orange)
- IMPORTANT: A triple-click will initiate the continuous logging mode, indicated by a solid orange LED. If this happens, triple-click to stop recording and start again using just two clicks
When your riding session is complete, and you're back in the pits, double-click the button to stop recording. The LED should no longer be illuminated orange
Repeat steps one, two, and three for additional riding sessions.
A four-second hold of the button will power the XGPS off when your track day is finished

Syncing your session and reviewing data

Connect the XGPS160 to your iOS device via Bluetooth
Open the LITPro App
Tap the "Add session" tab at the bottom of the screen
Tap the “Sync now” button next to your device name
On the following screen, tap “Sync Data” to begin transferring data
- IMPORTANT TIP: While your sync is in progress, make sure you have a solid internet connection, and your iOS device stays in Bluetooth range (30 ft or less)
When your sync is complete, LITPro will automatically suggest any existing valid track configurations for you to apply
We suggest applying a valid track configuration that our system presents
- Considerations for creating a new configuration might be
  - If no track configs exist that match your riding you can create a new one
  - If you don't want to create a track config you can use the auto-generated "QUICK-Session" type (that has no permanent finish line location)
  - Pay attention to prompts about showing up on leaderboards.
After applying a track config, tap the "Analytics" tab to review your data
