Setting up your Firebelly Device
Device Overview
Turn the device on by pressing and releasing the top button once. The green led should blink
telling you the device is on and charged. If the device flashes red that means that it needs to be
charged.
Press and release the same button again to put the device into swim detect mode. The device
will now flash the blue led. In swim detect mode, the device will automatically sense your
swimming motions and give you real-time performance feedback. Pressing and releasing the
top button again stops swim detect mode and returns the device to ready mode (flashing
green)

The two buttons on the side are used to scroll through the mode options configured on the
device. Pressing the top button increases the mode (i.e.
“Mode 1” => “Mode 2” …) and
pressing the bottom button decreases the mode (i.e.
“Mode 2” => “Mode 1” …). The selected
mode is announced via audio when the button is pressed. Note that the mode can be changed
while in swim detect mode without stopping swim detect mode, e.g. to quickly change the type
of feedback during a set.

Note that for device software release v1.3.6 and later, you need to press the top button twice within a couple of
seconds to stop swim detect mode. This prevents unintentionally stopping swim detection mode.
