Thank you for purchasing the Inclination Sensor
from Lazer.
Lazer Inclination Sensor is a body posture
monitor that allows you to track your
aerodynamic cycling posture in real time. The
monitor tracks your head position and gives you,
while riding, a tactile or acoustic feedback when
you are out of your optimal aerodynamic position.
The monitor is calibrated towards your optimal
aerodynamic cycling position. To do so, you
are encouraged to visit a wind tunnel. If you
cannot visit a wind tunnel, a training centre
may also have a good idea on how you should
be positioned on a bicycle to have an optimal
aerodynamic cycling posture.
The monitor aims at making you aware of your
head position while riding.

The Inclination Sensor is located on the rear of a helmet,
as you can see in the figure below.
3/ How to fix the sensor onto the helmet
During first use, you attach the Inclination Sensor holder
on the predefined location of your helmet with the use of
a snap if your helmet is Inclination Sensor compatible.
If your helmet is not yet Inclination Sensor compatible
you may use a velcro with a double sided tape.

6/ And off you go
4/ Installation
1/ You go to a wind tunnel or training centre to calibrate
the device
2/ You switch the device on with the on/off button (picture 1)
3/ You position yourself on your own bike in your most optimal
aerodynamic position (picture 6B)
4/ You hold this position for at least five minutes, preferably
while pedaling, to verify if this position is biomechanically
desirable
5/ Your trainer presses the calibration button for 2-3 seconds
(picture 1)
6/ You switch the device off, the setting is stored
PC:
Compatible for Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8
Requirements: USB port, Microsoft .NET 4.0

1/ You connect your Inclination Sensor to a PC or MAC
with a USB cable
2/ The monitor is recognized as a mass storage device/
USB memory stick

ware and download the software (PC or Mac). You can put
this file onto a computer hard drive location, for example
your desktop
4/ You select the tab “personal settings”
A/ Choose your helmet: Tardiz or Wasp Air
B/ Choose the deviation (in degrees) after which
a feedback is given as compared to your optimal
posture
C/ Choose the type of feedback that you prefer:
auditory, tactile or both
D/ Enable or disable the calibration button during
the use of the sensor
5/ You select the tab “Calibrations”
A/ You can save a calibration
B/ You can load a calibration
Good job!
Bad position
The Inclination Sensor gives you a tactile and/or acoustic
feedback when you are out of your aerodynamic cycling pos-
ture. The tactile and/or acoustic feedback is intensified when
you are more out of position and reduces when you go back
to a more optimal position.
The Inclination Sensor allows you to focus on your perfor-
mance when you remain in your aerodynamic cycling posture.

7/ Daily use
1/ Use the device whenever you feel like training. Calibration
for daily use is not required, a one-time calibration in the
wind-tunnel or by your trainer or dealer should be good for
two or three months if not longer
2/ Battery life-time is between six and eight hours if the device
is continuously giving feedback
3/ Recharge battery using the USB cable using a standard
USB connection on a PC or using a double isolated / SELV
type charger
4/ Store the sensor in a dry room between 15°C and 25°C
5/ Do NOT use Inclination Sensor during rain or snow fall
6/ Do NOT use Inclination Sensor in mountains
7/ For cleaning it is advised to not use any aggressive
chemical cleaning agents, simple moisture cloth is advised.
Do not submerge the sensor for cleaning
8/ When your PC or MAC does not recognize the Inclination
Sensor after 30 seconds, please unplug it and try again
