WELCOME TO ICEDOT!
This User’s Guide will help you set up your Crash Sensor as well as create an ICEdot
profile.
Your ICEdot Crash Sensor, when used properly, will mount
onto any helmet and connect with your ICEdot Prole via
a smartphone app. The system is able to detect motion,
changes in forces and impacts. In the event of critical
forces, the device triggers the app over low-energy
Bluetooth to sound an alarm and initiate an emergency
countdown. Unless the countdown clock is stopped, the
app will then notify your emergency contacts and send
GPS coordinates of the incident so the necessary follow-up
actions can be taken.
The Crash Sensor is not a medical diagnostic device for
determining concussions or whether or not your helmet is t
for continued use. The Crash Sensor is not preventative of
injuries in any way and should not alter your following best
safety practices and awareness of your own limits.

ICEDOT PROFILE CREATION
To effectively use your Crash Sensor, you will need a
current ICEdot prole. The rst year is included with the
purchase of a Crash Sensor and additional years are $10
per year. All ICEdot products work with your ICEdot prole
– this is where you establish the emergency contacts you
wish to be notied if your sensor triggers an incident.
Once you have established an ICEdot prole, each
additional ICEdot product you purchase will add an
additional year to your service. In Case Of Emergency,
ICEdot has the ability share predesignated health and
geolocation information over SMS/text. ICEdot stickers
and bands allow rst responders to retrieve emergency
information stored in an ICEdot prole. First responders
send an SMS text message containing the PIN found on the
ICEdot product to the number specied and an immediate
response message is returned containing information on
the individual and his or her emergency contacts.
IM PORTA NT:
YOU NEED TO RETRIEVE INFORMED CONSENT FROM
YOUR EMERGENCY CONTACTS BEFORE ADDING THEIR
DATA LIKE A PHONE NUMBER OR AN EMAIL ADDRESS
TO YOUR EMERGENCY MESSAGE. YOU WILL ALSO
BE RESPONSIBLE TO CORRECT THOSE DATA AND TO
DELETE IT WHEN THE OWNER OF THE DATA DESIRES.
To activate your ICEdot prole, locate the stickers
containing an 8-digit PIN in your Crash Sensor package.
Then visit http://icedot.org/activate, enter the PIN, a valid
e-mail address and establish a password. You will then
follow the on-screen instructions to complete creating your
prole. A prole is secure and any access to your data can
be seen in your account under “prole activity.”
You may choose to add additional proles for other family
members. Each additional prole is $10 per person per

year. Multiple proles may share a Crash Sensor and each
additional prole will receive their own sticker packs.
Once you have created your prole, try testing it. Send an
SMS/text message with the PIN found on your sticker to
+1.918.373.9989 or to +41.79.373.9929. Then, place one of
the stickers on your helmet, a round sticker on the back of
your Crash Sensor and another on a commonly carried ID
card i.e., company ID, insurance card, etc.
ICEDOT APP
Visit the Apple store on your iPhone 4s (or later) device or
the Google Play store on supported Android 4.3 and later
phones to download the ICEdot app. Please note: There
are two apps in the app store. The “ICEdot Medic” is not
the right app. When downloading, please allow location
services which enables capturing of GPS coordinates. If
you inadvertently denied, you can turn on later in Settings/
Privacy/Location Services.
Once downloaded, please sign in to your ICEdot account
and select the appropriate prole.
EXAMPLE:Profile Screen
You will then be prompted to set up your sensor. Make sure
you have charged your Crash Sensor for at least 4 hours.
There will be no lights or buzzing on the sensor--all battery
status is reported through the app. When you click “Select
ICEdot” the app will begin scanning for your sensor. Once a
device appears in the menu, select it.
If you have troubles connecting to your sensor, please make
sure you have:
1. Charged your Crash Sensor – 4 hours is recommended.
2. Your Bluetooth turned on. This is done in the “Settings”
on your phone.
3. An iPhone 4s or 5+ running the latest iOS and/or your
Android device is running Jelly Bean 4.3 or later. You
can check if you have the latest OS in your settings and
it will tell you if there is a newer version.
4. Downloaded the right ICEdot app from the Apple store.
The “ICEdot Medic” app is not applicable to the Crash
Sensor.
5. Given the Crash Sensor a good shake.

6. If the sensor has been charged for a longer period or
experienced a power surge, the protective circuitry may
have shut down functions preventing it from appearing
as available to avoid overheating. Let it sit overnight and
it should return to normal function.
7. If the above has not resolved your problems you can
reset your sensor by plugging it in for 10-20 seconds,
unplug it and retry the connection process.
Once your Crash Sensor is selected, you will be able to
name it and mark it as your favorite. This allows your phone
and sensor to auto-connect when the sensor is awake. By
simply shaking the sensor, or your helmet if it is mounted,
the app will auto-connect and you will not have to scan for
sensors before each use.
EXAMPLE:Sensor Settings
When the Crash Sensor is connected to your app, select
“Go.” The app will then show “actively monitoring” meaning
the app is ready to receive an impact notication from the
sensor.
If an impact is detected, the app will sound an alarm and
begin a countdown. You can disable the countdown by
swiping the “disable slider.”
Alternatively you may select to go without Sensor. This
enables you to use the app for non-sensor based sports
but allows you to manually declare an emergency from the
app and provide location tracking.
EXAMPLE: Countdown & Slider
If you do not disable the countdown, the app will pull your
GPS coordinates, connect to the ICEdot server which will
send out notications to your emergency contacts in the
manner you have specied, SMS/text or email, including
your GPS coordinates. It is possible your phone may be
unable to nd your GPS coordinates. In this case, an
emergency notication will be sent, but it will not include
the GPS data. It is necessary that your smartphone can
establish a data connection, therefore you have to enable
data roaming when you are using the Crash Sensor outside
of your country.

THE ICEDOT CRASH SENSOR AND APP RELY ON A
NUMBER OF THIRD PARTIES TO TRACK AND DELIVER
YOUR EMERGENCY NOTIFICATIONS INCLUDING
CELLULAR SIGNAL AND YOUR DEVICE. ONE OR MORE
OF THESE ITEMS MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE AND/OR
DAMAGED. YOU SHOULD ALWAYS PROCEED WITH THE
ASSUMPTION THAT THESE ITEMS MAY NOT WORK AND
THAT RIDING IN GROUPS AND COMMUNICATING YOUR
ROUTE ARE THE SAFEST MEASURES TO BE FOLLOWED.

SETTINGS
CONFIGURATION
FOR MORE INFORMATION:
[e-mail]
The ICEdot app has a number of settings you can
customize including the Notication Delay, GPS precision
and GPS timeout. Notication Delay is how long the
countdown clock will run prior to reporting an incident
and notifying your emergency contacts. The default is 45
seconds, but this can be adjusted up to 2 minutes.
EXAMPLE: Settings
ICEdot Account will take you to your login page at ICEdot.
org on your mobile browser to adjust any of your accoutn
settings or to update your prole.
Locate Me shows your current GPS coordinates.
Track Me enables you to be tracked by your emergency
contacts while running the app. Turning this on will allow
those you specify to track your location via SMS using your
ICEdot PIN. To congure who can track you, you must log-
in to your ICEdot Account and select “anyone with my PIN”
or “emergency contacts only” under your Sharing Settings
within your Prole. With this feature enabled, someone can
check your current location by sending “Track” followed by
your PIN number to +1.918.373.9989 or to +41.79.373.9929
and they will receive a reply text with your current location
or last known location in case call coverage has been lost.

MOUNTING
HELMET
FOR MORE INFORMATION:
[e-mail]
Your ICEdot Crash Sensor comes with one helmet mount.
Additional mounts may be purchased. The helmet mounting
clip should go on the top rear of the helmet as shown in the
image below. You can attach the mounting clip by using the
3M adhesive tape and applying it directly to the hard outer
shell of your helmet, or by using the supplied zip ties and
running them through the slots on the mounting clip and
attaching it through the vent holes of your helmet, cutting
away excess. Always attach the mount so that the USB
plug port is facing the back of the helmet.
EXAMPLE: Mounting clip with arrow identifies USB plug
EXAMPLE: Helmet with the Crash Sensor attached
IM PORTA NT:
THE CRASH SENSOR SHOULD BE FIRMLY ATTACHED
TO YOUR HELMET WITH NO MOVEMENT OR BOUNCING.
ANY MOVEMENT OF THE SENSOR MAY CAUSE
VIBRATIONS WHICH CAN RESULT IN FALSE READINGS.
