With your SMARTSPEED drill running in RFID mode, after pressing GO on the PDA, the first light unit in each
lane will begin to flash a green rotating light. This indicates that the SMARTSTART units are ready to receive an
RFID wrist band. One athlete in each lane must place their band against the front of the SMARTSTART unit, and
upon a successful scan the SMARTSTART will beep, and the next unit will stop flashing and show either a solid
blue (SMARTSPEED) or green (SMARTSPEED LITE) light. The drill is now ready.
The athlete must get in position and place their hand on the mat. After 3 seconds, a low buzzer will warn the
athlete that the random delay period has begun (i.e. “Ready!”). The lights will then flash and buzz to start the
drill, and the athlete’s reaction time will be measured as the time taken for them to leave the mat after the
start.
For more detailed information on the use of SMARTSCAN RFID or SMARTSHOXX please download the
appropriate manuals from the Fusion website support area.
CHARGING & MAINTENANCE
SMARTSTART should be expected to operate for up to 15 hours per charge under normal use. It is however
recommended that it be charged prior to each use, and this will not develop any kind of battery memory.
NOTE – please be sure to switch SMARTSTART off after use to ensure it is
available for your next session.
When connected to the supplied 5V charger supplied, a RED light on the bottom of the unit will indicate that it
is charging. When fully charged, this light will turn green.
