In order to control your smart trainer, you’ll need a smart training app, running on
a device such as a smartphone or laptop.
2.1 Compatible devices
You can run training apps on:
• Smartphones
• Tablets
• PCs
• Macbook Computers
• Laptops
• Apple TVs
Your device needs either Bluetooth Smart or ANT+ in order to communicate with
the trainer. Smartphones, tablets and Macbook Computers have Bluetooth built in,
whereas you’ll insert an ANT+ dongle in the USB port of a Windows PC or laptop to

connection protocols:

2.3 Smart trainer modes
There are two main types of smart trainer workouts.
ERG mode
ERG mode keeps you accountable to your interval workout, ensuring you hit your
power targets by increasing resistance if you slow down, or easing up if you pedal faster.
Always use your bike’s fastest gear (large front chainring).
SIM mode
SIM mode simulates an outdoor ride: tougher on the climbs than the downhills. Use
your gears like you would outdoors.
Fliiiight also has a non-smart mode, Resistance Mode. Use the 4iiii app to set the
resistance level, then use your gears to adjust the difficulty.

3GETTING STARTED
3.1 Before installing the bike in the trainer
1. Check your wheel for compatibility, if you have not done so before purchasing.
a. Run a strong magnet around the wheel rim, being especially careful to check
opposite the valve stem. If the wheel is compatible, the magnet will not stick
anywhere on the flat surface of the wheel rim. Do not use the trainer with an
incompatible wheel. Go to 4iiii.com/support for assistance.
2. Install the included trainer skewer in your bike’s rear wheel.
Tip: As long as it is properly installed, it is safe to leave your trainer skewer in your bike
during outdoor rides.

4. Turn the threaded rods counter clockwise to retract them. Retract one completely,
and the other by ¾.
5. Back the bike into the trainer frame, aiming the wheel between the magnet arrays.
Tip: If the magnet arrays are not far enough apart to allow for easy installation of the
bike, you can pull them open gently by hand while the trainer is off.

3.3 Activating the trainer
1. Flip the “ON” switch. The magnet arrays will close on your wheel in order to center
themselves. Keep the wheel still until they release.
2. Pedal to start your ride.
Tip: Until the trainer receives a command from the controlling app, it will default to 36%
resistance.
Tip: Don’t forget to turn the trainer off when not in use.

6CHARGING AND STORING Fliiiight
6.1 Charging
When fully charged, Fliiiight allows over 2 hours of wireless riding.
Warning: For safety reasons, do not charge the trainer below 5°C (41°F). Doing so may
result in damage to the lithium ion battery, explosion, or injury.
Tips:
• Use the included cable (2A 5V type C USB
charger).
• For best results, charge from a USB wall
outlet adapter.
• Batteries deteriorate more quickly when
left in a fully depleted state. To maximize
the life of your trainer, charge it regularly
or plug it in during use.
• If the battery is fully drained, charge
overnight.
• Turn the trainer off when not in use.
