The Freedrum sensors are calibrated by holding the sensors so that they are pointing in front of you and pressing the square button on the sensors as shown in the image. The Freedrum virtual drum kit is created in the air using angles. Every time you use Freedrum or change seating position, you must press the square button on the sensors to reposition the drum kit in front of you. Watch this tutorial video for best playing practices: (placeholder link). 7. Keep the sensors flat. In order for Freedrum to hit the correct drums and cymbals, the Freedrum sensors need to be kept flat, facing towards you. This means that you should not allow the stick to rotate in your hands while playing. If you allow for the sensor to rotate, it will not be able to detect the hits correctly. Watch this tutorial video for best playing practices: (placeholder link). 8. Be gentle. Freedrum is designed for playing in the air. Due to the limitations of the internal sensors, you should avoid playing the Freedrum sensors with excessive force. Playing Freedrum with excessive force will cause the incorrect drums to be played. If you notice that the wrong drums are being played, hold the Freedrum sensors still for 1 second and try playing with less force. Watch this tutorial video for best playing practices: (placeholder link). Standby mode: When the Freedrum sensor is still, it will enter into standby mode. The current battery level will be indicated by a pulsating LED (see below for colour reference). If the sensor is in standby mode for a long period of time, it will turn off automatically to save power. LED colours and patterns: Blinking blue: Not connected Solid blue: Connected (2 seconds) Slow pulse green: Standby and battery level is between 100%-31%. Time of pulse is 2 seconds.
Medium pulse yellow: Standby and battery level is between 30%-11%. Time of pulse is 1 second. Fast pulse red: Battery level is between 10%-1% (consistent state when sensor is on). Time of pulse is 0.5 seconds When the battery is low (between 10%-1%) then it should always fast pulse red. User must charge sensor. The sensor will change colour gradually during use. The colour changes depending on the angle of the sensor. FCC Regulatory Statements: This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules.
