About the FxChip BLE

The FxChip BLE is the Freelap transponder with Bluetooth Smart technology. Worn by the athlete, it accurately measures time intervals between each transmitters crossed, and automatically sends all timing data instantly upon arrival (crossing the finish transmitter) via Bluetooth to your mobile device.

Use of the FxChip BLE

1. Prerequisites
   FxChip BLE transponder is a part of the Freelap timing system. To get your timing data, you must turn on and place the transmitters on the track, and use the MyFreelap app (cf corresponding user manuals).

2. Get to know your device
   Red Led: blinks when it detects a transmitter.
   
   Identifier (ID): Each transponder has a unique ID (2 letters – 4 digits), which makes it possible to time several athletes simultaneously.

3. Activate the FxChip BLE
   The FxChip BLE transponder has no button: it automatically turns on when moved and it stops after 10 minutes of inactivity.
   A red led lights up when it crosses a transmitter’s detection field, to confirm that the transponder is detecting the transmitter.

4. Attach the FxChip BLE
   The attachment of the FxChip BLE depends on your sport.
   For Running:

   ---

   Attach the FxChip BLE to the belt of the athlete’s short using his attachment clip (provided). It must imperatively be attached to the waist, centered in the alignment of the navel, positioned vertically and facing outward.
   **For Biking:

Attach the FxChip BLE to the bike using the FxMTB (velcro tape). It must imperatively be attached to the fork of the bike, positioned vertically and facing forward.
For Motorbiking:

Attach the FxChip BLE to the rider’s mask using its Velcro strap. It must imperatively be centered on the back of the helmet, positioned vertically and facing outward.**

For Skiing:

Attach the FxChip to the skier’s ski boot using
its Velcro strap. It must imperatively be centered on the back of ski boot, placed vertically and facing outward.
Attaching the transponder to any other location or position may result in inaccuracies or non-detection.

The FxChip BLE is an autonomous and smart device that does not require any manipulation, except its good fixation and orientation

5. Memory
   

   • Your Fx Chip BLE has a memory of max 10 intermediate LAP times. This means that your track must contain a maximum of 11 transmitters.
   • The timing data collected by your FxChip BLE transponder is not stored in the transponder but safely stored in your MyFreelap account.

6. Information
   To get information about your FxChip BLE you must download and use “Freelap Device Manager” app. You will be able to check the:

Battery and battery life

• Your FxChip BLE runs on a CR 2032 battery (provided) with a 2’000 hours battery life.
• Low battery indicator:
• Place the FxChip BLE in the detection field of a transmitter turned on. If the red led of the FxChip BLE doesn’t light up, it means that your FxChip BLE’s battery is too low.
• When the battery becomes low, you are notified on your MyFreelap account.
• You can check the battery level whenever you want using Freelap Device Manager app too.
• Replace the battery:
  Unscrew the 4 screws on the back of the device using a screwdriver, then remove the cover and the gasket. Remove the old battery, and insert a new CR 2032 battery. Make sure that the new battery is the right way round. Put back the gasket, the cover, and screw back the 4 screws
