Operation System
There are four hidden beacons. At the entrance of the area you can choose between three different levels on a userfriendly touchscreen.
  • Level 1: find one beacon
  • Level 2: find two beacons
  • Level 3: find all four beacons
You have three minutes for every level to complete. If you don't find the beacon in time you will get an acoustic signal. If you can find a beacon  you will also hear an acoustic signal. You can analyse your results direct at the Training Area or via Internet (Results).
