Thank you for purchasing Sportiiiis. Sportiiiis is a heads-up display that guides you to your target range (zone) during running, cycling, and many other sports - while allowing you to keep your eyes on the road and maintain form. It can pair with, and receive data from any ANT+TM enabled heart rate strap, foot pod, power or speed/cadence sensor. When properly mounted to your glasses, the boom of the Sportiiiis unit will be in your peripheral vision, so that its LEDs can tell you whether you are below, above, or in your zone by their color and position. Through the Sportiiiis software for Windows or Mac, you can set up Sportiiiis and configure the zones for your individual needs. What’s in the Box?

(See page 11 for more information) Page 3 Version 1.03 (11-08-2012) Sportiiiis User Manual Charging Sportiiiis To charge Sportiiiis, uncover the micro-USB port on the bottom of the unit and plug in the included USB 2.0 Charge/Sync Cable. Plug the other end of the cable into one of your computer’s USB ports or a USB power adapter. While the unit is connected to a power source, the LEDs will indicate the level of charge. The LEDs will blink Red when the charge level is low then begin to “stream” to yellow as the charge level increases; when two LEDs are solid and green the unit is fully charged. Sportiiiis takes about 75 minutes to charge from a fully discharged state. While using Sportiiiis, several factors will affect its battery life. These include LED brightness, LED blink rate, and the volume and frequency of audio announcements. (To configure these parameters go to page 8) Sportiiiis battery life is approximately 8-9 hours under normal use.

Page 5 Version 1.03 (11-08-2012) Sportiiiis User Manual The Sportiiiis Software Interface 1) Main Navigation Tabs – The software is divided into three sections Profile – personal data Zones – configuration of the LEDs Setup – hardware setup such as volume, brightness, etc. 2) Upload Status Button - whenever you make a change in the Sportiiiis Software Application, the Upload Status Button will indicate that it is “Ready to upload.” Click this button to save the changes to Sportiiiis. When the upload is complete, the Upload Status Button will indicate “OK to disconnect.” 3) Battery Status Indicator – indicates the approximate charge level of the battery in Sportiiiis. Page 6 Version 1.03 (11-08-2012) Sportiiiis User Manual The Profile Tab Enter your name, a “nickname” for your Sportiiiis unit, your email address, height, weight, year of birth, and gender in the Profile screen. Page 7 Version 1.03 (11-08-2012) Sportiiiis User Manual The Setup Tab To set the preferences up for your Sportiiiis unit, click on the “Setup” tab in the left column and choose the parameter you would like to configure (LEDs, Audio, Sensors, TipTap) on the upper right. Setup>LEDs Max brightness – sets the maximum brightness of the LEDs. In most cases a brightness level of 80 is appropriate for outdoor activity with the Sportiiiis boom located on the inside of your eyewear. Note: Sportiiiis features an ambient light detector to help balance the LED brightness for changing conditions. LED blink rate – This adjusts the blink rate of the target zone LED. Each LED further from the target zone will automatically blink at a faster rate. Configuration – Sportiiiis can be setup for left eye or right eye use. NOTE: For increased safety while cycling, it is recommended that you use the eye furthest from the road to view your Sportiiiis unit. Thus, in countries where you drive on the right side of the roadway, it is recommended that you mount your Sportiiiis unit under your right eye, and in countries where you drive on the left side of the roadway, you mount your Sportiiiis unit under your left eye. This allows for unobstructed vision while looking over your shoulder for approaching cars. Flip LEDs – This option flips the “below” and “above” target LED’s position. (left to right becomes right to left) Page 8 Version 1.03 (11-08-2012) Sportiiiis User Manual Setup>Audio Volume – typically a level of approximately 80-85 is acceptable under normal circumstances. Auto-Announce – interval at which your Sportiiiis unit will announce the current data from all paired sensors for which “Include in Auto-Announce” is selected (see Zones tab). To turn auto-announce off, move the slider all the way to the left. Personality – Choose a male or female voice for verbal updates. Announce above/on/below target – Sportiiiis will tell you when your “in-target” status changes, either going above, below, or on target. Page 9 Version 1.03 (11-08-2012) Sportiiiis User Manual Setup>Sensors Sensors that are currently paired with Sportiiiis will appear here, to delete a sensor click the “X” on the sensor entry. If Sportiiiis is paired with a bike speed sensor you’ll see an area to enter the wheel circumference, a footpod sensor will have an “adjustment factor” entry. Page 10 Version 1.03 (11-08-2012) Sportiiiis User Manual Setup>TipTap Two important features of Sportiiiis are controlled by simply tapping on the side of the unit. A single tap will give you audio feedback of the current sensor being displayed and two taps will switch to the next sensor (if more than one sensor is paired). The slider adjusts the sensitivity of the TipTap function. Sensitivity – “Normal” sensitivity is a good starting point for most applications. Page 11 Version 1.03 (11-08-2012) Sportiiiis User Manual The Zones Tab Overview 1) The Zone Adjustment widget - The Zone adjustment widget controls the 7 LEDs on the Sportiiiis boom and each LED is represented by a colored section with yellow nodes on their outer limits. The center green (or whichever color you choose to make it) section represents your target zone for the current activity, and the LEDs to either side are set up to guide you to that target zone. The color of each LED can be changed by clicking on the diamond shaped LED icons below the zones The Sportiiiis configuration application will show you the available LED colors on your particular Sportiiiis hardware. The zones are changed by dragging the yellow nodes. (see example setup below) 2) Run / Bike selectors - You can setup zone profiles for Run and Bike sensors separately, then change between them while using Sportiiiis. (see page 3 for more) 3) “Enable this zone” button – Choose whether or not you want this zone enabled on your Sportiiiis unit. All paired sensors are included. 4) “Include in Auto Announce” button - Sportiiiis can audibly update you on all active sensors at regular intervals. Selecting this button will include the current sensor in this announcement. (the interval is configured in the Setup>Audio section, covered on page 9) 5) The Sensor Selectors - Select which sensor you want to configure. Sensors that are paired with Sportiiiis are illuminated, those not paired are greyed out. Note: You can still select and setup zones for sensors that are not currently paired. (see page 17 for information on pairing sensors with Sportiiiis) Page 12 Version 1.03 (11-08-2012) Sportiiiis User Manual Example - Setting up a Zone workout: In this example, we’ll set up Sportiiiis for a run with a target heart rate zone of 130-140 bpm. a. Click and drag the yellow node on the left side of the target zone until the value in the corresponding box has reached 130 Repeat with the yellow node on the right side of the target zone, setting this to 140. By clicking on the coloured LED icons below the zones you can change the LEDs in your Sportiiiis unit to the colour of your choice. b. Next, work your way out to the left and right of your target zone and create the zones that will help guide you to your target. We recommend the first adjacent zones be 10 bpm wide and the second, 20 bpm. c. Click the “include in auto announce” button if you would like the current sensor included in regular spoken updates (go to Setup > Audio to configure how often these announcements occur). d. When you are finished, click on the “Ready to Upload” button. This will upload and save the values to the Sportiiiis unit. e. Repeat this procedure for other sensors you’d like to configure by clicking on the icons at the bottom of the screen.

Imperial/Metric – selects Imperial (miles) or Metric (kilometers) units. Page 14 Version 1.03 (11-08-2012) Sportiiiis User Manual Attach Sportiiiis to Your Glasses Notes About Mounting Your Sportiiiis Unit For increased safety while cycling, it is recommended that you use the eye furthest from the road to view your Sportiiiis unit. Thus, in countries where you drive on the right side of the roadway, it is recommended that you mount your Sportiiiis unit under your right eye, and in countries where you drive on the left side of the roadway, that you mount your Sportiiiis unit under your left eye. Also, your Sportiiiis unit should be mounted under your line of sight so that its LEDs appear in your peripheral vision. Please make sure that your Sportiiiis unit does not obstruct your vision. WARNING: Be very careful to mount the Sportiiiis unit securely to your eyewear to ensure the boom will not come in contact with your eye during use.
