are looking to purchase a new SD card, it is recommended that any card used has a write speed of above 7 MB/s (4 MB/s absolute minimum) and a speed class of 10 (4 absolute minimum). Racelogic recommend SD cards from quality brands such as Transcend, SanDisk, Kingston or Lexar to ensure best results. IMPORTANT – If an SD card is formatted in the exFAT or NTFS file formats, it will need to be reformatted into a FAT32 file system before it will work with a VBOX Touch unit. More information on this can be found here. Screen Overview Main screen example Setup 1. VBOX Touch has an internal patch antenna, meaning that in many circumstances, where the unit has a clear view of the sky without any interference, an additional antenna is not required.

If multiple layouts are available, you can press the Select button to scroll through the different options. Ensure that the correct circuit is selected! 10. Press the Exit Button to return to the Lap Timing screen. 11. The unit is now ready to display live Lap Timing values. Main Screen: • Once the start/finish line is crossed, VBOX Touch will automatically begin to create a reference lap. When a reference lap is being created, a 'Creating a Reference Lap' message is displayed within the Delta-T section and the reference lap section will show a rolling lap time. The LEDs will also illuminate blue during the creation process. The reference lap will update if a faster lap is achieved unless the Reference Lap has been Fixed within the Settings. • Once a reference lap has been created, the unit presents a live difference in lap time (Delta-T) between the current lap time and the stored and active reference lap at the current location on track. • The 4 LEDs at the top of the screen provide a live reference lap speed comparison (Delta-V), varying in https://racelogic.support/01VBOX_Automotive/01VBOX_data_loggers/VBOX_Touch/ 7

the current location on track. The settings for this can be changed within the Delta-V Range settings. Basic Screen: • VBOX Touch will display the current live lap time and when a new lap starts, the previous lap time will be displayed for 3 seconds before reverting to displaying the current live lap time. It is possible to just display the previous lap time by Disabling the Rolling Lap Time. 12. By default, VBOX Touch will automatically start recording when travelling over 0.5 km/h, this can be changed within the General Settings. 13. Tapping on the SD Card Icon when green will manually start or stop logging data, overriding the Configured Logging Strategy. 14. The Record Icon will show when the unit is logging data to the SD card. If you have come to a stop, but the Record Icon is still on, press the SD Card Icon to stop the logging before removing the card. Sometimes, due to poor satellite visibility in a garage or close to a building, the box may start recording, even if the car is stationary. Always check the Record Icon before ejecting the card. IMPORTANT – The SD card shouldn't be removed when the Record Icon is on as you may lose data. Note: If for some reason the SD card is removed whilst still recording, it may need to be repaired using a PC before it can be reused. 15.
