2. Your adidas FITSMART
With its integrated optical heart rate monitoring technology, FITSMART provides
easy-to-understand, visually-coached guidance for workout intensity to keep you
on track and motivated and help you train smarter and more effectively.
FITSMART features an integrated accelerometer that offers daily activity tracking
monitoring steps, calories and distance. In addition, FIT SMART tracks pace,
distance, and stride rate for workouts and syncs wirelessly with the miCoach train
& run app for further analysis. miCoach FITSMART is an ideal tool for runners and
fitness enthusiasts.
How miCoach coaches
miCoach offers both Cardio and Strength & Conditioning plans to improve
strength, power, speed, agility, and flexibility. Together, these plans provide a full
range of training options.
miCoach uses a unique form of interval training for Cardio workouts, varying
the intensity of activity according to four personalized training zones — Blue,
Green, Yellow, and Red — where each color corresponds to an effort. miCoach
uses different combinations of the four zones to create varied, complete,
and personalized workouts. Training zones can be customized manually or
automatically via an assessment workout.

2.2 First time use
This section covers everything you need to know to get started with your FITSMART, including charging and turning on your FITSMART, initial setup, navigating menus, daily activity
tracking, understanding light pipes, pairing, synchronizing, and instructions on how to wear it to get the most out of your workouts.
2.2.1 Charging
A full charge takes approximately 3 hours.
FITSMART Charger FITSMART attached to charger
Align the two contacts on the back of your FITSMART with the contact points on
the charger. With the contacts lined up, your FITSMART and the charger should
click together.

8
2.2.2 Wearing your FITSMART
To ensure proper data tracking during your activities, fasten your FITSMART snugly around your wrist so that the optical sensor on the back of the device makes tight contact with
your skin and movement of the device during the workout is avoided. You want it to be close-fitting, but not too tight. Wear your FITSMART away from your wrist bone, not directly
on it. If you have small wrists, wear it higher up on your forearm.

9
2.2.3 Getting started with your FITSMART – out of the box setup
Turning your FITSMART on and setting the time
Your FITSMART can be used out of the box as a standalone unit or in combination with your smart phone and the miCoach train & run app. The first time you turn on your FIT
SMART, the time will need to be set.

Note: To complete this step, your FITSMART must first be paired

2.3 Pairing & Syncing
Pairing your FITSMART with the miCoach train app can be done in two ways; with manual pairing and auto-connect paring. You can choose either method. If your FITSMART is
showing the Bluetooth® pairing screen when first powered on, your device needs to be paired via the manual pairing method. If not, please continue to either pairing method.
If you see this screen on your FIT SMART when it is powered on
for the first time, please go to section 2.3.1 Manual Pairing to
continue device setup. Your FITSMART is running an older version
of software and an automatic software update will be triggered
during initial synchronization with the train & run app. Once the
software is updated, your FITSMART can be paired in the future by
either pairing method.
Pairing is the process of connecting a Bluetooth®
device like your FITSMART to a Bluetooth®
Smart compatible and enabled mobile device.
Basically, it links your device with the app.
Synchronizing (or Syncing) transfers completed
workout data from your FITSMART to the app and
transfers planned workouts and profile settings (time,
miCoach Zones, user profile etc.) to your FITSMART.
Note: Do not pair the FITSMART in your device’s
Bluetooth® settings. If it is, please remove it as a paired
device and then follow pairing instructions with the
app. Pairing the FITSMART directly to your device in its
Bluetooth® settings will not allow the miCoach train & run
app to establish a connection with your FITSMART.

13
2.3.1 Manual Pairing
Manual paring involves putting the FITSMART into pairing mode and then adding it as a device to the train & run app. Use this pairing method if your FITSMART displays the
Bluetooth® pairing screen when first powered on.
1. Put FITSMART into
pairing mode
2. Enable Bluetooth® 3. Add FITSMART 5. Pairing and Sync

doesn’t have the most recent version. When this happens, update to ensure you have the latest functions
and features. After the software update, your FITSMART will restart automatically.

14
2.3.2 Auto-Connect Pairing
Auto-Connect paring involves pairing FITSMART from the train & run app without putting the device into pairing mode. This pairing method requires your FITSMART to have the
latest software and the train & run app to be up to date, see sections 2.3.1 Manual Pairing and 2.1.2 What else is needed for more.
1. Enable Bluetooth® 2. Add FITSMART 3. Turn on FITSMART 5. Pairing and Sync

If your FITSMART is not on or in range when your mobile device is searching for it, or has been paired with
another account an error message will be received on the train & run app. If you receive a pairing error
message more than once, a factory reset of FITSMART may need to be performed. See section, 6.4.

15
2.3.3 Syncing
Once paired, your FITSMART will automatically sync with the miCoach train & run app when FITSMART is on and the train & run app is active and in the foreground of your mobile
phone. During syncing, FITSMART will update the train & run app with any completed workouts and your current daily activity tracking stats. If you made any changes to FITSMART
settings, your daily activity goal, or workouts within the app, these changes will automatically be synced to your FITSMART.
There are two types of syncing, automatic syncing and manual syncing. Automatic syncing happens in the background, while manual syncing can be done when updates need
to be added straight away.
