PowerTool won’t turn on
GymAware is smart.
By default, the type of battery inside the unit disconnects
after a period of non-use in order to protect itself. If your
GymAware won’t turn on (ie. LEDs light up) when the tether
is pulled we recommend:
• Pull the tether slowly a few times (4-5) at least 30cm-60cm.
• Perform a full reset by pressing the reset button on the
side of the unit
• Place the unit on charge overnight - this may make the unit
start to beep consistently, but this is the low battery warning
and needs to be ignored as it will shut off after a low charge
is reached.
• Battery jumpstart - this involves taking the end cover off,
doisconnecting the battery and reconnecting.

Tether care
The GymAware tether is a braided cord with a 65kg breaking strain
(thats a big big fish); however, there are some simple concepts to
keep in mind to make sure it functions as it should.
Issue and Prevention:
Slack tether - Blocked angle sensor -
Clean the angle sensor
regularly. The weights room can be a sweaty place and the angle
sensor can become clogged with chalk and grime. Use the angle
cleaning tool in the GymAware First Aid kit for a seasonal service.
Be controlled when dumping the bar
- instructing the athletes
to be mindful of violent releases. It is the sudden shock of the
reversing tether direction which can damage the spring inside the
spool mechanism.
Adjust the tether tension
- this involves using tools. Find someone
who is good at changing lightbulbs and follow the instructions at
gymaware.zendesk.com - We have even made a video which we
recommend watching.
