(2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Preparing your new Speed Sensor for use Install Battery
(Refer to Figure 1, Figure 2 below) 1.Remove SpeedSensor from packaging 2.Orient the SpeedSensor with LCD face down. Remove strap from SpeedSensor to expose the battery cover. Figure 1. 3.Remove the battery cover by turning counterclockwise 4.Install CR2032 battery under prongs. Figure 2. 5.Install and turn battery cover clockwise, using triangles for alignment 6.Install hook and loop strap with the furry side towards the battery cover. Press the SpeedSensor power/LCD button. The LCD should turn and blink the green LED should blink rapidly. The Speed Sensor is now ready for use. Figure 1. Figure 2. Overview of Speed Sensor Figure 3. The Speed Sensor is mounted on a baseball or softball bat and used to measure swing speed and swing radius. The Speed Sensor measures the speed and radius of the swing during contact
(hit) or non-
contact
(strike) with a pitched ball. The Speed Sensor has a two character LCD display for displaying the calculated speed or radius to the batter. The LCD display also serves as the power on/off and mode select button. The Speed Sensor also has a green LED used as a status and mode indicator. The Speed Sensor can operate while connected and controlled by an IOS device, allowing a coach to monitor the results of the swings. The Speed Sensor also operates in a standalone mode allowing the batter to observe the swing results on the LCD. Speed Sensor Features 1.Bluetooth Low Energy One year battery life

.8 oz 6.When operating in stand alone mode, stores last 50 swings 7.Displays swing speed or swing radius, user selectable 8.Attaches to bat with non-slip hook and loop strap LCD Button Basic Operation LCD Button Press the LCD button once to turn the Speed Sensor on. Press and hold the LCD button for longer than three seconds to turn the Speed Sensor off. The LED will blink rapidly when the Speed Sensor is turned on. When the LED is blinking rapidly, the Speed Sensor is broadcasting connection information over Bluetooth and waiting to connect to an IOS device. After thirty seconds, if a connection has not occurred, the Speed Sensor will transition to standalone mode. The LCD will flash and the LED will begin to blink. When operating in connected or standalone mode, pressing the LCD button selects what is displayed on the LCD. Every press
(of less than three seconds) will enable either speed or radius to be displayed. The blink rate of the LED will change to indicate what is being displayed. Fast blink indicates speed, slow blink indicates radius. Basic Operation
(cont.) When operating in standalone mode the Speed Sensor stores the last 50 swing results in internal Flash memory. Theses results can be automatically transferred to the IOS app when connected. The IOS app can also delete the data stored in the Speed Sensor if the results are not needed. Using the Speed Sensor 1.Mount the Speed Sensor on the bat with the hook and loop strap a.Loosely attach the Speed Sensor to the bat towards the handle b.Balance the bat on two fingers c.Grab the bat with one edge of your hand on the balance point and the other edge towards the Speed Sensor d.Slide the Speed Sensor up against your hand e.Tighten and clamp the hook and loop strap 2.Press the LCD button and either connect to IOS app or wait 30 seconds and use the Speed Sensor in stand alone mode. 3.
