HRMPower On: RF transmission automatically activates when heart rate monitor is clipped on to a compatible strap and is fastened around chest.Power Off: HRM automatically stops transmitting and returns to ultra-low power mode two minutes after removal of the body.HEART RATE MONITOR+=
SDMPower On/Off: The SDM is always on and transmits your workout data when you exercise.Operational CharacteristicsShoe Attachment: The SDM is attached securely to the laces of any running shoe using the supplied clip, or inserted into the mid-sole cavity of 80 % of adidas running shoe range in 2010.STRIDE SENSOR•On the Stride Sensor page, it would be good to clearly indicate which direction of the SDM is facing forward (users will always ask that question), and that the SDM goes in with the miCoach logo facing up when installed in-shoe. It’s also worth stressing that the SDM should be secured well when used on the laces to get best accuracy and so it does not slip out while running.
CALIBRATION OF STRIDE SENSORStride sensor calibrationThe accuracy of the stride sensor will be >95% accuracy “out of the box” for a majority of users. Some users with certain stride characteristics may experience lower accuracy but this will improve once a simple calibration procedure is performed. The SDM provides >98% accuracy after calibration.Additional calibration can be done on miCoach.com.

PAIRING HEART RATE MONITOR and PACER Every device in the pacer bundle is already paired. The Heart Rate Monitor in the Pacer Bundle is pre-paired with the pacer device.The HRM must be “paired” with an ANT+™ enabled receiver device such as miCoach Pacer.Repairing ProcessPressing & holding the center and workout button at the same time while Pacer is off (TBD)•Notes on pairing: The HRM must be active in order to pair it to the Pacer – instruct users to put it on the chest to activate it. The SDM is always active. Mark can confirm, but I presume both sensors must be paired at the same time (if only one sensor is present and active, only it will be paired?).
