CAUTION
● The SmartClips are specifically designed for sports, training and exercise purposes. They should
not be used for any other purpose than the one they are specifically designed for.
● Please take all necessary safety precautions when using the SmartClips and strictly follow the
instructions in the owner’s manual to avoid accidents and/or injuries.
● The SmartClips should only be charged with Embedded Fitness certified accessoires. The use of
non-certified accessories can lead to damaging the product and/or serious physical injuries.
● When charging the SmartClips in the hard case, leave the hard case open at all times, to prevent the
batteries from overheating.
●Only charge the SmartClips under dry circumstances. Do not charge the SmartClips in a wet/moist
environment such as in rain or by bringing them in contact with water.
●Never alter the characteristics of the product (like casing, battery, sensor etc.) This can lead to
damaging the product and/or serious physical injuries.
● Do not use any sharp objects that can potentially damage or penetrate the SmartClips and it’s
casing.
●Never try to change the batteries of the SmartClips. Also avoid contact with water and/or excessive
heat or cold. For more information on the use of the batteries, please refer to the section “Charging” in
this manual.
● When using the SmartClips in any situation involving a ball, Embedded Fitness strongly advises to
use the included safety straps, magnets, velcro strips or clasps.
● The SmartClips are fall protected up to 5 feet above floor level. When using the SmartClips beyond
this height, always use the included safety straps.
●Never use the SmartClips in rain or any wet/moist circumstances. Never submerge the SmartClips
in water.
● The SmartClips are equipped with LED lights (LEDs) that can flash quickly, brightly and can change
colour. This can cause epileptic reactions in people that are sensitive to it.
●Always consult a specialist when using the product for sports, training and exercising. Always
immediately stop the activity in case of any signs of nauseousness and/or exhaustion.
● Some images in this manual can differ from reality.
Factors that can affect wireless communication.
● The maximum range can vary, depending on the placement of the SmartClips and the tablet. E.g. if
the SmartClips are placed flat on the floor, the range is limited, since the built-in antenna is also placed
horizontally. When range is key, we advise to place or mount the SmartClips in a vertical position.
● Range is also subject to environmental circumstances. Placing the SmartClips in a metal casing, or
behind a wall, will significantly reduce the range of the product. For the best result, we advise to
always place or mount the SmartClips and tablet in sight of each other.
● Using the SmartClips in an environment with multiple active wireless devices can affect the
performance of the product.

OPERATION
Wireless Network
Every SmartClips set includes one host and seven clients. The host acts as the
central communication point for the tablet and the clients and therefore should
always be used. The clients receive their instructions from the host and also feed
their data back to the application using the host. In order to secure an optimal
connection, it is advised to keep the tablet close to the host when operating the
SmartClips. The host can be identified by the LEDs emitting blue light when
starting up, shutting down and when inactive. A client can not be connected to the
application without the use of the host.

MANUAL OPERATION
Sleep mode
When in “sleep mode” the SmartClips cannot be
used. First “awake” the SmartClips by pushing
the on/off button once. The SmartClips will now
indicate they are “awake” by going through the

are ready to connect. Holding down the on/off
button for longer than 5 seconds will put the
SmartClips back into “sleep mode”. The
SmartClips will go through the “shut down
animation” sequence (LEDs) after which the
“sleep mode” is activated.
