ADDITIONAL FEATURES OF THE SC VARIANT:
Average battery life: 800h
rechargeable via USB-C (approx. 6 hours)
2 modes of the two upper encoders, adjustable by switches on the back: (push btn / shift)
push btn. = normal encoder including push button
shift = double encoder (normal turn/press and turn)
e.g. normal rotation = encoder 1 = TC
e.g. press & turn = Encoder 2 = ABS
2 modes of the 12-position rotary switch, (12-pos. / shift)
12-pos. = normal mode, each position outputs a signal
shift = shift function of the thumb encoder
e.g. 12-12-position rotary switch to position 1 = thumb encoder output 1 (e.g. TC)
e.g. 12-position rotary switch to position 2 = thumb encoder output 2 (e.g. ABS)
e.g. 12-position rotary switch to position 3 = thumb encoder output 3 (e.g. volume)
e.g. 12-position rotary switch to position 2 = thumb encoder output 2 (e.g. ABS)
e.g. 12-position rotary switch to position 3 = thumb encoder output 3 (e.g. volume)

ELECTRONIC CALIBRATION OF THE GRIPPING POINT
precise settings in 1.0% and 0.1% steps
Bite Point can be changed via a configuration tool or directly on the steering wheel:
1. Press both joystick buttons for 1s to enter pressure point mode
2. The calibration mode is indicated by the LEDs lighting up
3. The left joystick can now be rotated for 1.0% steps, the right one for 0.1% steps (changes are indicated by flashing LEDs)
4. Exit calibration mode by pressing both joysticks for 1s
Recommended procedure for finding the ideal setting:
1. Enter calibration mode and set the pressure point to a high value, e.g. 80%
2. Now just pull the secondary clutch lever
3. Step on the gas
4. Now reduce the Bite Point using the left joystick in 1.0% increments until the vehicle starts moving
5.Test starts can now be carried out to fine-tune the desired setting
6. Finally, exit calibration mode
Recommended procedure for quick race starts:
1. Pull the main and secondary clutch levers
2. Accelerate
3. Let the main clutch snap at the start of the race
4. It takes less than 20ms to reach the desired bite point
5. Slowly release the secondary clutch lever

NEW PROPERTIES
Compared to the previous V1 model, the F64-USB V3 features new 12-position switches that offer improved feedback, a closed shape and motorsport rubber grips.:
Improved grip ergonomics with a slightly larger diameter, thinner base and changed shape on the top making it easier to press the top button
Rubber grips:
show no signs of wear
offer much more grip
perfect hardness (not too soft, not too hard) to prevent fatigue during long distance races
Can also be used without gloves and offers support even for sweaty hands
better hygiene
new 12-way rotary knob
Better usability in “encoder mode” (rotational symmetry)
much better feedback
Two new thumb encoders
