The wind keeps setting off the start sensor before races. Is there a windscreen?
Lynx doesn't sell one: shield the sensor with any object, such as a box or a plastic container. To clear a false start, arm the event (Ctrl+A) and the clock goes back to 0:00.
Lynx doesn't sell a windscreen: shield the sensor with any object, such as a box or a plastic container, so gusts don't reach it.
To clear a false start the wind caused, arm the event again (Ctrl+A): the clock goes back to 0:00 and the next start is the one FinishLynx uses. If starts keep arriving on their own, see FinishLynx receiving multiple starts.

- RadioLynx works most of the time but misses some starts. What do I check? — Recover the race with Repeat first. Then check the antennas, cable an electronic gun to the transmitter instead of using a sound sensor, tighten the input cable, run the paperclip test and charge the transmitter.
- Why isn't my RadioLynx working properly? — Work through the paperclip test to find which part has failed: the transmitter beeping with the start says whether the sensor and cable are fine, and the test needs only an unfolded paperclip.
