FLARM ANTENNA (When you acquire a Live C equipped with
the FLARM module)
Warning:
The Flymaster utilizes an external antenna that has been precisely tuned to the Flarm
board circuit, specifically for the frequency band it operates on. While it may be perceived
as a minor inconvenience during takeoff, this antenna plays a crucial role in ensuring the
system functions optimally, allowing Flarm to operate effectively over the necessary
distances. This capability is vital for promoting aircraft visibility and facilitating safe
interactions with other flying vehicles.
To maintain the integrity of the Flarm system, it is imperative to use only the provided
antenna engraved with the Flymaster branding. This measure is implemented to prevent
any inadvertent swapping or confusion with other antennas. Using a different antenna can
lead to significant malfunctions within the Flarm system, jeopardizing the pilot's ability to
be detected by nearby aircraft and potentially increasing the risk of accidents.
In essence, the proper functioning of the Flarm system relies on the correct utilization of
the designated antenna. By adhering to these guidelines and ensuring the use of the
supplied antenna, pilots can enhance their visibility and contribute to a safer airspace for
all.
Installation - Be sure to install the antenna, tightening it to the end of the thread securely. the
tightening must be done in a clockwise direction.

Page 15
Flymaster Live C User Manual
Recommended take-off position
Antenna cap - When the pilot does not want or does not need to fly with the Flarm antenna, must
place the rubber cap (supplied) to cover the antenna socket.

First Steps
Do not delete or manipulate any files in the SD card directly. All SD card management tasks must
be done through Flymaster Instrument Manager.
Not doing so, may cause the instrument to malfunction.
To copy some file from SD card to your computer, you must use your computer’s file explorer
using the USB connection with the instrument.
1.
We recommend the reading of the following documents:
- Warranty terms and conditions.
To do that, please use the following links:
https://dnl.flymaster.net/Flymaster_Standard_Limited_Warranty_EN.pdf
2.
Create a Flymaster Cloud account if you donít already have one.
After the account creation go to:
https://livetrack360.com/login
3.
Register and activate the instrument.
A valid Paypal account is needed to activate the LIVE C.
Go to the following link and use the activation code.
https://livetrack360.com/devices/register
4.
Install “Flymaster Instrument Manager” to manage your LIVE C.
Connect your instrument to the computer via USB. The instrument will appear as a mass
storage.
Inside you will find a folder called "Flymaster Instrument Manager" where the installation
files are located. Alternatively, you can and should download the latest version available
on the Flymaster website in the "downloads" section.

5.
OPTIONAL FLARM AWARE SERVICE ACTIVATION
When you acquire a Live C equipped with the FLARM module no extra
service needed. This means that you will be visible to other instruments
that are able to receive Flarm positions (RX).
If you want to have FLARM AWARE service (also receive FLARM position from others and
have potential collision warnings) in your instrument you need to activate the optional
FLARM aware service. To do that, go to our website (www.flymaster.net), and under
“accessories” you can buy the product “Flarm Aware”.
You must fill in the “Dev. ID” (Flarm Serial number, which can be seen on the instrument,
under “Device Info” option. THIS IS NOT THE INSTRUMENT SERIAL NUMBER.
After receiving a confirmation email with the activation code, you must enter it in Flymaster
Instrument manager, with the instrument connected.
The cost is 50 Euros for a lifetime activation.

Reset and recovering instrument
Hardware Reset (force shutdown)
3 seconds and release
If for some reason your instrument becomes unresponsive you can force a reset to force it
to shutdown.
Press the power button together with Menu/Esc at the same time for 2 or 3 seconds and
release.
After releasing the buttons, the instrument should switch off.
Turn the instrument back on normally.

Page 19
Flymaster Live C User Manual
Force firmware install (recover the instrument)
If for some reason your instrument does not start and an error message appears on the
colour display such as "invalid crc", missing font, etc, this means that somehow
essential files for the recognition of the firmware version have been damaged on the SD
card and it will not be possible to restore firmware.
This does not necessarily mean any hardware problem with the instrument itself.
How to solve ?
You must have an SD card reader on your computer.
Have an Internet connection
Have the latest version of Flymaster Instrument Manager (downloads for this instrument
are available on the Flymaster website under Products -> Live C-> Downloads tab
First of all, force the instrument to shut down by pressing power button together with
Menu/Esc at the same time for about 3 seconds and release.
After releasing the buttons, the instrument should switch off.
This process is not dependent on any software and is always successful in any
situation.
Method 1 - Use the SOS SD card tool, present in the latest versions of Flymaster
Instrument Manager. When you click on the tool, you will follow a pop-up that will guide
you through the procedure of ejecting the SD card from your LIVE C and inserting it into
your computer's card reader. After being detected by your computer, the process is
automatic and the necessary files will be copied to the card.
After this first step, just force installation of the Live C Firmware.
Insert the SD card into the Live C.
Press the UP key and keep it pressed while pressing the "power" key. Keep the UP
cursor key pressed until "installing firmware" appears on the display.
1. Keep
2.

Page 20
Flymaster Live C User Manual
Method 2 - Download "livec-firmware.zip" from the Flymaster website (downloads
for this instrument are available on the Flymaster website under Products -> Live C ->
Downloads tab) to your computer. Unzip this zip file, to the SD card (its contents to the
root directory of the card, extract the folder hierarchy and keep them in the SD card
root, replacing files and folders when asked). Properly eject the SD card from your
computer.
After this first step, just force installation of the Live C Firmware.
Insert the SD card into the Live C.
Press the UP key and keep it pressed while pressing the "power" key. Keep the UP
cursor key pressed until "installing firmware" appears on the display.
1. Keep
