2.1.2 ClearNav Handheld Remote
The Handheld Remote is designed to be easy‐to‐use in flight – even when bumping along in ridge lift
and wearing gloves. It offers 9 intuitive buttons that make it easy to quickly access any software
feature.
The Handheld Remote connects to the ClearNav Display through the panel‐mounted connector on the
CAN/USB Extension. It can also be connected directly to either of the 2 small RJ‐22 connectors on the
Nexus Wiring Board – but most customers will probably connect it through the CAN/USB Extension.
Dimensions: 100 mm (3.9 inches) long x 44 mm (1.7 inches) wide x 24 mm (0.94 inches) deep
2.1.3 ClearNav Stick Mounted Remote
The Stick Mounted Remote is made from precision carved mahogany with a durable two‐part epoxy
finish. A 10‐button remote control panel is mounted in top of the handle for comfortable, ergonomic
control of ClearNav with flying hand. It includes all the same buttons in the same locations as on the
standard handheld remote. It includes a PTT (push‐to‐talk) button and wiring. The hole for the stick is
customized to the stick diameter. Please specify the stick diameter when ordering.
