Demo Mode
RPM2 is supported with a "demonstration (Demo) mode" that easily allows you to navigate the app. Demo
mode is intended for navigation purposes only. Data in Demo mode are simply random data points providing
values so you can see what each screen shot contains. We recommend 30 minutes of "Demo mode" before
you pair, connect, and use your app. "Demo mode" can quickly make you an expert!
Open the app and click on "Demo" on the screen. You will find the word "demo” directly under the
Registration Code area, or under the black feet icons on the Connect Your Insoles screen. Once clicked, you
will advance to the main exercise screen where you can click on any book of exercises. For example, click
"Flexibility". This will direct you to the "flexibility" exercises menu. Click on an exercise. This will take you to
the exercise start screen. Before clicking anywhere on the screen, RPM2 recommends you click the “Video”
arrow in the top right corner. This will take you to our YouTube Video demonstrating exact technique of
performing the exercise. Once you have reviewed the YouTube video, you are re-directed to the "flexibility"
start exercise screen where you can anywhere on the screen. The timer will begin and demonstration data will
show you how the live screen operates when inserts are connected. Keep in mind this is demonstration data
and that the intent of the Demo mode is to help you learn how to navigate the RPM2 app. When ready you
can stop the timer by simply touching anywhere on the screen. The app will then take you to the post exercise
dashboard that provides a view of the exercise screen shot. Again, the data is demonstration data. We
recommend that you navigate all of the "Flexibility" exercises, as well as the "force", “Cycling”, and “Running”
Events.
While in "demo mode", we also recommend that you click the top left corner of the screen from the main
exercise menu. This will open the drop down window that contains other options available, Exercises,
Firmware Update, Calibration, History, and where to find Symmetry Scores. It is highly recommended that you
view the calibration exercises specific to standing pressure and cycling and practice them before actually
calibrating your RPM2 inserts. Additionally, it is recommended that you view the calibration videos on the
RPM2 website to learn proper calibration technique.
Once you have taken the time to navigate your RPM2 app in "Demo mode" you should be ready to pair,
connect, and try your inserts.

Example Exercises
For illustrative purposes, we will select “Force” then “Standing”.
The dashboard opens up and shows your standing pressure, left vs. right insole. It also shows where the
pressure is within the four quadrants of your foot.
Total Symmetry Score
Step 1. Tap to go to Firmware Updates, Calibration, History, Options, Remote Running, & Symmetry Score
Step 2. Tap on Symmetry Score to see your Total Symmetry Scores with a goal to achieve 100 %.
Step 3. Tap on Flexibility or Force to review Total Symmetry of each Flexibility & Force Distribution exercise.
Now you are ready to attempt other exercises like the 100 Meter run.
You will hear audible commands that take you through a Calibration process (only when Power Meter is
Toggled OFF). Follow the commands. After completion of this calibration, you will see a download screen and
the percentage (%) of data transferred from each insole.
When you are ready to run, “Tap on screen to Start”.
Once download is complete, you will see a dashboard. As for all running exercises, not just the 100 m dash,
you will initially see three data sets (Cadence, Power (watts), and Step Time). If the Power Meter is Toggled
Off you will see two data sets ( Cadence and Step Time).
Tap on any line and you will see another dashboard.
This represents the Step Time, Flight Time, Ground Time and Power Left foot vs. Right Foot when the Power
Meter is Toggled On and Step Time, Flight Time, Ground Time, Take off Force and Force Strike
which indicates the location of impact when you are running, i.e. Heel, Mid, or Fore Foot Striking when Power
Meter is Toggled OFF.
Toggle ON Toggle OFF
Tap “Running Dashboard” on phone to return to the exercise menu screen.
Tap “Cycling”. For illustrative purposes, we will use “Sprint Training”.
Remember, the options can be set for up to 12 reps for Sprint Training, each ranging from 10 seconds to 30
seconds. As you are riding, you simply Tap on screen to “Start” when you are ready to sprint. The application
counts down the seconds for you 3…2…1...
You will see left leg vs. right leg power as well as Collective Power and Cadence and the % left leg vs. right leg.
Don’t touch the screen again until you are ready to do another sprint. Tap on screen to “Start” again.
Once all reps are completed, a dashboard appears showing a number of lines that match the number of reps
performed.
For this dashboard, it is clear that 3 reps were completed.
By tapping on each of the lines, more dashboards become available.
The first of these dashboards, represents data from the first sprint. It shows Cadence (revolutions per
minute) Average Peak Power, Left Power vs. Right Power and time Elapsed.
If you would like more information regarding left vs. right force application during the ride and in particular
during the push or pull of the pedal stroke around the crank, tap on any of the bar graphs. The bar graphs on
the right half of the pedal represent push part of the stroke and those on the left half of the pedal represent
the pull part of the stroke.
The dashboard appears for that point in time of the stroke and provides comparative information regarding
what is happening left vs. right foot in terms of overall force applied , but also where the force is applied.
At any point in time, if you want to see a history of the exercises performed you can access this by taping the
back bottom on the top left of the RPM2 screen and tap the History button and then tap on either Flexibility,
Force, Cycling, Running or Running Power.
