2. The idle will start from the engine if sound is activated and or turned up. Note to disable sound, open Menu and touch Turn off Volume.

 

3. Apply the gas button once. The engine revs up to 2500 rpm’s. No need to apply the gas pedal anymore after the stall up to 2500 rpm’s. (Pro Tree option revs up to 5000 rpm’s)

 

4. Either use the left brake button (as most newer devices are pressure sensitive) or use the brake slider bar above to adjust forward.

 

Move forward until you find both pre-stage and stage lights are lit. You can deep stage if you choose too but be careful not red light on the tree.

 

You can use the brake slider bar to adjust forward and then touch the brake button to use as a Trans brake option.

 

Note: Close any slide out keyboard before opening GDR Tree. Right lane Brake Slider can not fit on left side due to Drag Tree and cell phone size. You can easily use the brake button below when racing in the right lane.

Add New Log: Touch on Add New Log. Loading Weather Data box appears and automatically loads the temperature, barometer and humidity field boxes. The weather information is loaded by retrieving the close weather station near or at the track. This app uses cellular wireless networks to get the weather information needed. Sometimes the cell phone signal might be weak due to location. In that case you may turn on your cell phone GPS and retrieve the weather data that way. This feature might take up to a minute to retrieve the information, depending on your location and signal. You can bypass the automatic uploading of the weather data by pressing the back button and enter in it manually.

 

Title button, enter in Practice Run, Test n Tune or the Round number.

 

Touch and fill in all other boxed information accordingly. (It is not necessary to make sure all boxes are filled in, as we know not all the information will be provided for the user at the track) The GDR Log Sheet will accept part or all information entered by user. When done touch the save button to save the data entered. Note: The more info entered the more accurate the result will be when using the Predict ET

How to use GDR G-Force Recorder

 

Place unit in a solid mount on dash or roll bar facing up and perfectly straight. Preferred mounted on center of dash or windshield (if allowed at the track) to achieve the best results. Use the upper, lower and side G-force graph numbers to get close to 0 as possible. That assures the unit is perfectly aligned and ready to go.

 

Keep the current original background or open Data Bar below. Check the Cam button and the camera option opens up. Depending on the device, you might have to put the G-Force in landscape mode to use the camera option correctly. Click on the menu button and touch landscape to switch over.

 

Some android devices might not show camera video operating and/or record any video. We find the video record feature may not function with some android devices and we are always working on it.

 

When ready, touch Red Record button and the elapsed time is recorded. When done touch the same button to stop recording.

 

After recording you may now hit the save button and save under a file name of your choice.

 

To Delete any previous recordings, apply the menu button for options and touch on Delete Recordings.

 

To load a previous recording touch on the Load button and load the saved file. Touch the green Play button and watch the previous recording.

 

GDR G-Force has option to remove the Grid or Graph from the back ground. Find it on the Data Bar below the Play button.
