Bluetooth / FET Stick 

Included with your ergoFET is a Bluetooth / FET Stick. Refer to Image F.  The Bluetooth / FET Stick is needed 
when the ergoFET is used with software for testing.  The Bluetooth / FET Stick is included when the software 
CD disk is ordered.  Instructions for using the Bluetooth / FET Stick are included with your software purchase.

Battery Check 

The ergoFET

 

batteries are rated for 300 hours of operating use. The life of the batteries may vary depending 

on your usage pattern.  To help you identify when the batteries will need replacement, ergoFET is equipped 
with "power check" feature to allow you to see remaining battery power. To conduct power check, follow these 
four steps.  

1.

Put the unit into data retrieval mode, hold down the Threshold Button then click the reset button.

2.

Press on the Threshold Button for five seconds.  The unit will then display in the peak force LCD
AP indicating power check, and number from 1 to 100 in the Duration/Secs LCD display indicating the
percent of power remaining in the batteries. Refer to Image G.

3.

The unit will return to data retrieval mode after five seconds. To access again, press the threshold button
again for five seconds.

4.

To return to test mode, press the reset button.
