USER MANUAL
Dashr|BLUE
Symptom
Actions
T1: Laser is not tripping
on the module
(Red/Green Light on
module).
T1.1 - If you are testing in the sun, make sure that the laser is
oriented towards the sun so that the laser hits the shaded side of
the athlete.
T1.2 - Turn the laser on next to reflector (while pointing the laser at
the reflector) and slowly back up to a distance of ~6 feet.
T1.3 - Orient the laser slightly downward at the reflector.
T1.4 - Change the batteries.
T2: Laser trip is not
registering in the Dashr
App.
T2.1 - Make sure that you are positioned between the START and
STOP laser. Being 100+ yards away from the timing gate may result
in occasionally missing a laser trip. See T5.
T2.2 - When in doubt, restart Bluetooth on the phone, restart the
Dashr App, and re-connect the lasers. Reinstall App if necessary.
T3: Laser is tripping for
most but not all
athletes.
T3.1 - Reflective clothing, such as white baseball pants, may
increase light bouncing back to the laser. Reposition the lasers to
hit the shaded side of the athlete and make sure they are not
wearing reflective clothing.
T4: Laser is not
connecting to the
mobile device.
T4.1 - Restart Bluetooth on the phone, restart the Dashr App, and
re-connect the lasers. Reinstall App if necessary.
T4.2 –Turn the laser off, then back on and retry.
T5: Laser is not
responding at distance.
T5.1 - Dashr | Blue hardware is tested to work reliably at 100 yards.
For distances beyond that (we suggest no more than 150 yards),
removing the phone case, placing the phone on a tripod, and
reducing the number of other Bluetooth devices in the area have
been shown to improve success rates at longer distances.
T6: Getting the error
“Check Stop Laser
Alignment”.
T6.1 - This error occurs when a downfield laser is tripped for several
seconds before the actual test begins - a check for the operator to
make sure everything is aligned before timing.
T7: Unrealistic times.
T7.1 - Timing off the front foot in the Dash drill will result in faster
than actual times (athlete gets a full step before moving their front
foot). For 2-point starts we suggest using the Flying drill with the
beam waist high, right in front of the athlete.
T7.2 - Tripods being too low (shin of the athlete) can result in
slightly off times due to the leg being in front of or behind the
athlete’s center of mass when crossing the beam. We suggest waist
high placement.

Make sure that your phone/tablet is properly charged before using the Dashr
system. Open the Dashr App on your mobile device and log into your Dashr
account. If you do not have an account, you can make one at
dashboard.dashrsystems.com.
BATTERY COMPARTMENT: The bottom of the laser module has a battery cover
that snaps in and out. To remove the cover, squeeze the battery cover on the laser
side of the module (sometimes these are pretty tight when new). This will release
the clips and allow you to pull to cover off.
BATTERIES: Each Dashr|Blue laser module requires two AA batteries. Make sure
you put the batteries in correctly and have the silk ribbon under the batteries for
removal. Look for the + sign in the battery compartment to properly align your
battery. Failing to put the batteries in correctly may damage the laser.
1. Download our App
2. Install/Open App
Dashr uses a mobile application to control the laser modules and display testing
times. The free Dashr Wireless Timing App can be downloaded from both the
Google Play Store and the Apple App Store.
NOTE: Operation of the system requires that your phone has Bluetooth® turned on
to connect to the laser modules. Connection takes place in the App, not your
phones’ settings.

All Dashr products (besides 2.0 and RFID modules) need to be registered with your
phone or tablet. To do this, select “Device Registration” from the main page and
power on your Dashr devices one at a time –selecting it from the “Available
Devices” list and assigning it a number. There is a spot on your Dashr device where
you can label your device with that number. Repeat this for each device. Note that
this must only be done once per phone/tablet that uses the Dashr device(s).

9. Start testing!
With the appropriate number of lasers/reflectors set-up to run your drill. Orient
the laser at the reflector and wait 5 seconds for the laser to calibrate to the
environment. If the light on the back of the laser is GREEN then the gate is setup.
When the gate is broken (something blocking the laser) the light will be RED.
Do not attempt to connect the laser to more than one phone/tablet. Doing so
may interfere with signal transfer and compromise the system’s accuracy.
Laser and reflector should be set-up roughly 6 feet apart (your wingspan).
The phone/tablet should be stationed between the lasers if performing a multi-
laser event or within 10 feet of the laser when a single laser event. Not doing so
may impact receiving results to the phone/tablet.
DO NOT place the phone/tablet on the ground while operating the system –this
blocks the Bluetooth antenna and can result in improper phone-device
communication.

Class 3R lasers range from 1-5 mW and are considered low risk for eye injury. Additionally, our
lasers a de-focused - preventing minor vibrations from tripping the system (~2.25in diameter at 10
ft). This adds to the safety component of the system.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could
void the user's authority to operate the equipment
This device complies with Industry Canada’s license-exempt RSSs. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must
accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.
Cet appareil est conforme aux flux RSS exempts de licence d'Industrie Canada. Le fonctionnement

7. Connect the device(s)
6. Align laser and reflector tripods
5. Select a drill in the app 8. Perform trial run to verify setup
Once logged in, the main page of the app provides several options to select your
desired drill. Once selected, each drill will present more information, including a
set-up diagram similar to those below. You will select Blue, as you are using the
Dashr | Blue series of lasers, to begin configuring devices for your drill. If you have
any questions throughout the process, help and tips have been built into the app
at each stage in addition to further support on the website.
Within the drill, turn on the device (laser, jump, display, etc.) and select it from the
drop-down list. Then press the “Connect” button. If it does not connect the first
time, repeat.
LASER MODULE/REFLECTOR: Use the threaded interface to attach to a mini or
regular sized tripod. Optional ball-joints can be used with the laser on mini tripods
to help with aiming. The laser must bounce back from the reflector to establish the
gate.
NOTE: WHEN OPERATING OUTDOORS ORIENT THE LASER TOWARDS THE SUN SO
THAT THE USER PASSES BETWEEN THE LIGHT AND THE LASER WHEN RUNNING THE
DRILL. Excess external light may prevent the system from functioning properly.
