ADDITIONAL FEATURES OF SC VERSION:
Average battery runtime: 800h (rechargeable)
rechargeable via USB-C (approx. 6h)
2 modes of the top two encoders, adjustable by switches on the back: (push btn / shift)
push btn. = regular encoder incl. push button
shift = double encoder (normal turn / push and turn)
e.g. normal turning = encoder 1 = TC
e.g. push & turn = Encoder 2 = ABS
2 modes of 12-position rotary switches, (12-pos. / shift)
12-pos. = regular mode, each position gives a signal
shift = shift function of the thumb encoder
e.g. 12-position rotary on position 1 = thumb encoder output 1 (e.g. TC)
e.g. 12-position rotary on position 2 = thumb encoder output 2 (e.g. ABS)
e.g. 12-position rotary on position 3 = thumb encoder output 3 (e.g. volume)
e.g. 12-position rotary on position 2 = thumb encoder output 2 (e.g. ABS)
e.g. 12-position rotary on position 3 = thumb encoder output 3 (e.g. volume)

ELECTRONIC BITE-POINT CALIBRATION
precise adjustments in 1.0 % and 0.1 % increments
Bite Point can be changed on the wheel 
1. push both joystick buttons for 1s to acces bite-point mode
2. LED lights up to indicate calibration mode
3. rotate left joystick for 1.0 % increments / right joystick for 0.1 % increments (LED flashes to indicate changes)
4. exit calibration mode by pushing both joysticks again for 1s
recommended procedure for finding best setting:
1. enter calibration mode and set bite-point to high value, e.g. 80 %
2. pull slave clutch only
3. apply throttle
4. reduce bite-point in 1.0 % increments (left joystick) until vehicle starts moving
5. make test starts to fine tune desired bite-point setting
6. exit bite-point calibration moderecommended procedure for quick race starts
1. pull both master and slave clutche
2. apply throttle
3. race start -> let master clutch snap
4. it will take less than 20 ms to reach desired bite-point
5. slowly release slave clutch

NEW FEATURES
Compared to its previous V1 model, the F64-USB V3 features new 12-position switches which provide improved feedback, a closed shape and motorsport rubber grips
Improved grip ergonomics including slightly larger diameter, thinner lower section, different top shape to push top button
Rubber grips:
are not showing any tearoffers much more gripperfect hardness (not too soft, not too hard) for much easier endurance racing without getting exhausted
can be used without using gloves (also with sweaty hands)
better hygienics
new 12-position rotary knobbetter usability in “encoder mode” (rotational symmetry)
much better feedback
