Note: Please drive forward 3 meters then set up the Start/Finsh line. This can increase the accuracy.
Beacon Width: Beacon is commonly referred to as the virtual start, finish and split lines. The
default beacon width is set to 30 meters (15m from each side of the vehicle) and the Beacon line
is placed in a straight angle to your current bearing (see below picture), you may adjust the
beacon width according to your track width.

want to mark as Start/Finish line.
2. After you have created the Start/Finish line, press button to mark the split line.
(Note: Max 25 split lines can be add for each track)
3. Press button to finish creating the Start/Finish and Splits lines. The Track will be saved
automatically in the memory of Q6000/BEACON/USER folder once finished; you can re-load it later or
share it with other users.

Note1: The vehicle must be moving for better precision when setting the Start/Finish line.
Note2: In some cases it may not be feasible or safe to add Start/Finish Splits line while driving. Users
can use alternative way by QRacing software to edit the Start/Finish, Split lines then upload
them to LT-Q6000 for race (Please see J-2 Edit Beacon).

Speedometer:
The speedometer can display your current driving speed in real-time, Max speed and Trip time traveled.
And it additionally has an over speed alarm function. When the vehicle exceeds the setting speed,
driving speed will be shown in red and device will make beeping sound to warn the driver.
G-Meter:
G-Meter uses Q6000's built in 3-axial accelerometers to provide accurate real-time G-force results with
graphics.
GPS Cold Start:
Performing the Cold Start function will clear the GPS engine of the device’s list of old satellite
information. Under normal operating conditions, the last satellite lock computed before the unit was
turned off is stored into memory and will be used as the reference when the next time the unit is turned
on. Also, if you travel for more than 500 miles with it turned off, it will still have the reference point but
it may be too inaccurate to be useful and result in longer time to get a satellite lock. In this case you may
want to perform a cold start.
