POCKET BOX PLACEMENT
It’s important that you place the Pocket Box into your pocket with the silhouette of
the fencer facingyour body (‘fencer-to-fencer’), and the ‘EnPointe’ logo facing
away from your body.
This placement ensures the Pocket Box has continuous contact with the body and
the radio antenna is unobstructed.
!
LOOSE POCKETS
The Pocket Boxes are designed to sit in the pocket of standard fencingbreeches.
A Pocket Box can be used with sweatpants, so longas it remains snugin the
pocket.
Extremely loose clothing, or loose pockets in which the Pocket Box could move
around, may impact the reliable performance of the EnPointe wireless system.
An EnPointe Waistband Clip can be used with clothingthat is loose, or for fencers
wearingbreeches without pockets, to ensure the Pocket Box maintains a reliable
connection to the fencer.
Settingup the Pocket Boxes

the display (shown in Figure 1 a):
VUT
You are now in ‘fencingmode’ and can touch onto the Display Box with your Pocket
Boxes (see ‘TouchingOn’, page 9).
Changingthe Display Box’s preferences
The system will use the default preferences for the on/otarget display lights, the
volume, brightness and sound style.
To make changes, the menu can be accessed by pressingthe circle button O. This will
enter ‘menu mode’. Each time you press this button, it will scroll through the menu items.
To toggle the selections for a menu item, use the <and >buttons.
To return to ‘fencingmode’ from the menu, press any of the weapon select menu
buttons.

Touchingo n 9
TOUCHING ON
Once you’ve switched on the Display Box by selectingyour weapon mode, the screen will
show the EnPointe logo to indicate that the system is ready for fencers to touch on.
If your weapon is plugged in and connected to your lamé in Foil and Sabre, you can
‘touch on’ (register) to the Display Box by holdingthe tip of your weapon near the
EnPointe logo below the screen.
The scrollingblue square outline will indicate that a touch on is in progress. This will
become a solid white square when the process is complete. This process should take less
than a second.
The fencer who touches on first will be allocated to the right-hand side of the piste. The
second fencer will be allocated to the left-hand side. You can swap any part of the
fencer’s equipment, includingwires or weapons, without needingto touch on again.
Now you’re ready to fence! There is no calibration routine required.
TIP
When touched on, the battery indicator light in the Pocket Boxes (viewed through
the sockets) indicates the side of the piste the Pocket Box is currently touched on
to. The colours correspond to the on-target light on that side of the piste. So, on
the EnPointe Display Box: red=left, green=right.

has been made for more than 15 minutes, the system will automatically switch itself o
to preserve battery.

It has a typical battery life of 60 hours of continuous fencingat the default brightness
setting, or two months of club use. Lower brightness settings will result in longer battery
life, while higher settings will decrease the battery life (down to a typical 15 hours at
maximum brightness).
The Display Box can be charged by pluggingthe power cord into the DC chargingsocket
shown in Figure 1 d.
If the Display Box is switched on when the power cord is inserted, the followingmenu
icon will appear on the screen to indicate that the battery is charging:
It takes approximately two to three hours to fully charge the Display Box battery from a
completely depleted battery.

With the addition of an EnPointe Piste Box, hits to a metallic piste can be cancelled.
Without a Piste Box, the Display Box functions as a wired system would without a
metallic piste, with hits to the floor not cancelled for Foil and Épée.
If you do not have a metallic piste, or do not wish to use a Piste Box, you can skip this
section.
Touchingon a Piste Box
When the system is on and in ‘fencingmode’ (Sabre, Foil or Épée are selected), hold the
Piste Box in front of the Display Box screen and simultaneously touch the two pins and
EnPointe logo with three fingers, as described on page 4 of the Piste Box (EP-G01) User
Manual.
The followingicon will appear on the screen to indicate that the Piste Box has been

Box once; the Piste Box will remain touched on to the Display Box (includingwhen the
Display Box is o) until the Piste Box is disconnected from it.
