Blind Apex HUD-9X Manual

IMPORTANT : The DisplayIT requires that a radio transmitter is connected to the timing system. If your
DisplayIT is not receiving information during a session, check with your timing and scoring team to see
if they are using the transmitter. Blind Apex provides those transmitters FREE to most racing organiza-
tions. However it is the responsibility of the timing team to connect the transmitter. If your organization
doesn’t have the transmitter, do not hesitate to contact us at 418 651 0752. We will provide the required
hardware FREE of charge to most racing organizations.
