About the FxChip BLE
Use of the FxChip BLE
The FxChip BLE is the Freelap transponder with Bluetooth Smart technology. Worn by
the athlete, it accurately measures time intervals between each transmitters crossed,
and automatically sends all timing data instantly upon arrival (crossing the finish
transmitter) via Bluetooth to your mobile device.
1. Prerequisites
FxChip BLE transponder is a part of the Freelap timing system. To get your timing data,
you must turn on and place the transmitters on the track, and use the MyFreelap app
(cf corresponding user manuals).
2. Get to know your device
The FxChip BLE transponder has no button: it automatically turns on when moved and
it stops after 10 minutes of inactivity.
A red led lights up when it crosses a transmitter’s detection field, to confirm that the
transponder is detecting the transmitter.
The attachement of the FxChip BLE depends on your sport.
For Running:
Attach the FxChip BLE to the belt of the athlete's short using
his attachment clip (provided). It must imperatively be
attached to the waist, centered in the alignment of the
navel, positioned vertically and facing outward.
For Biking:
Attach the FxChip BLE to the bike using the FxMTB
(velcro tape). It must imperatively be attached to
the fork of the bike, positioned vertically and
facing forward.
For Motorbiking:
Attach the FxChip BLE to the rider’s mask
using its Velcro strap. It must imperatively be
centered on the back of the helmet,
positioned vertically and facing outward.
Identifier (ID): Each transponder has a unique
ID (2 letters - 4 digits), which makes it possible
to time several athletes simultaneously.
Red Led: blinks when it detects a transmitter.
3. Activate the FxChip BLE
4. Attach the FxChip BLE
To get information about your FxChip BLE you must download and use “Freelap Device

- ID
- Firmware and Bluetooth versions

More info about FDM app at:
www.freelap.com/support/freelap-device-manager-user-guide
Attaching the transponder to any other location or position may result in
inaccuracies or non-detection.
The FxChip BLE is an autonomous and smart device that does not require any
manipulation, except its good fixation and orientation
6. Information
• Your FxChip BLE has a memory of max 10 intermediate LAP times. This means that
your track must contain a maximum of 11 transmitters.
• The timing data collected by your FxChip BLE transponder is not stored in the
transponder but safely stored in your MyFreelap account.
