2 INTRODUCTION TO SMART TRAINERS 2.1 Compatible devices In order to control your smart trainer, you’ll need a smart training app, running on a device such as a smartphone or laptop. You can run training apps on: • • • • • • Smartphones Tablets PCs Macbook Computers Laptops Apple TVs Your device needs either Bluetooth Smart or ANT+ in order to communicate with the trainer.
2 INTRODUCTION TO SMART TRAINERS 2.
2 INTRODUCTION TO SMART TRAINERS 2.3 Smart trainer modes There are three modes for smart trainer workouts. ERG ERG mode keeps you accountable to your interval workout, ensuring you hit your power targets by increasing resistance if you slow down, or easing up if you pedal faster. Always use your bike’s fastest gear (large front chainring). SIM SIM mode simulates an outdoor ride: tougher on the climbs than the downhills. Use your gears like you would outdoors.
3 GETTING STARTED 3.1 Before installing the bike in the trainer 1. Check your wheel for compatibility, if you have not done so before purchasing. a. Run a strong magnet around the wheel rim. If the wheel is compatible, the magnet will not stick anywhere on the flat surface of the wheel rim. Ensure you check opposite the valve stem. Do not use the trainer with an incompatible wheel. Go to 4iiii.com/support for assistance. 2. Install the included trainer skewer in your bike’s rear wheel. a.
3 GETTING STARTED 3.2 Installing the bike in the trainer: first time set-up 1. Install one speed index on a spoke. It does not matter which spoke. Slide the index towards the rim. DO NOT install the spare indexes. Doing so will will affect the functionality of the unit. 2. Open Fliiiight’s legs to full extension and place the trainer flat on the floor. 3. Rotate the magnet arrays so they are parallel with your wheel rim.
3 GETTING STARTED 3 Front of Bike This Way 2 2 8
3 GETTING STARTED 4. Turn the large plastic knobs counter clockwise to retract the threaded rods. Retract one completely and the other approximately ¾ of the way. It does not matter which one is open all the way. This will open up the skewer cups enough to place the bike, and make it easier to mount. 5. Back the rear wheel of the bike into the trainer frame. Aim the wheel between the magnet arrays.
3 GETTING STARTED 6. Lift the tip of the trainer skewer into the closest skewer cup. The bike should be approximately centered. 7. Keeping the bike upright, tighten the other knob until both skewer cups firmly secure the trainer skewer. 8. Tighten the lock nuts against the frame.
3 GETTING STARTED 3.3 Activating the trainer 1. Turn the power switch to “ON” ( #1 in the diagram ). The status light ( #2 in the diagram ) will be solid blue until paired with your app. 2. The magnet arrays will close on your wheel in order to center themselves. Keep the wheel still until they release. 3. Pedal to start your ride. 2 1 Tips • The trainer will default to 36% resistance, until it receives a command from the app. • Don’t forget to turn the trainer off when not in use.
3 GETTING STARTED 3.4 Calibration Fliiiight is calibrated for a standard 700c road wheel or 29” MTB wheel. Use the 4iiii app to update the wheel rim circumference if you have a different wheel size ( Section 5.1 ). You will not need to do regular re-calibrations. 3.5 Removing your bike It is not necessary to undo both threaded rods. Leave one threaded rod in place to easily remove or install your bike. Additionally, you do not need to remove the speed index.
4 THE 4iiii APP 4.1 Download the app The free 4iiii app is available for Android and iPhone. We highly recommend that you use compatible apps like TrainerRoad or Zwift for training, in order to experience more extensive features, graphics, and workout plans. iPhone Download the 4iiii iOS app via the Apple App Store Android Download the 4iiii Android app via the Play Store Use the app to • • • • • • • Calibrate the trainer for a different wheel size ( Section 5.
4 THE 4iiii APP 4.2 Calibrate the trainer for a smaller wheel size Fliiiight is calibrated for a standard 700c road wheel or 29” MTB wheel. Use the app to update your wheel rim circumference value if you have a different wheel size. 1. Download the 4iiii app. 2. Sign in. If this is your first time, sign up for an account. 3. Select “Add a Device.” Select “Fliiiight” then press “Connect”. 4. Select “>” for more options. 5. Go to “Wheel Circumference” and select your wheel from the drop down menu.
5 OTHER APPS 5.1 Connecting other apps Check the app’s support resources for more assistance navigating the app you have chosen to use with Fliiiight. 1. If you are connecting via Bluetooth [BLE], Bluetooth and location services must be enabled on your device. Allow Bluetooth and location permissions for the app. If you are connecting via ANT+, install the ANT+ dongle in the USB port. Or, for Android devices with built in ANT+, ensure ANT Radio Service and ANT+ Plugins are installed. 2.
5 OTHER APPS Tips • Once you have paired with the trainer, many apps will pair with it automatically next time you start up the app and trainer. • Find more Bluetooth and ANT+ troubleshooting assistance online at 4iiii.com/support.
6 CHARGING AND STORING 6.1 Charging When fully charged, the Fliiiight battery will allow for a minimum of 2 hours of use. • Use the included cable ( 2A 5V type C USB charger ). • For best results, charge from a USB wall outlet adapter. • Batteries deteriorate more quickly when left in a fully depleted state. To maximize the life of your trainer, charge it regularly or plug it in during use. • If the battery is fully drained, charge Fliiiight overnight. • Turn the trainer off when not in use.
6 CHARGING AND STORING 6.2 View your battery level The app will provide more detail than the lights provide. 1. Download the 4iiii app. 2. Sign in. If this is your first time, sign up for an account. 3. Select “Add a Device.” Select “Fliiiight” then press “Connect”.You should now see the battery level in the device information. Charging Light The charging light is located above the charging port. It will turn on to indicate the trainer is plugged in and receiving power.
6 CHARGING AND STORING 6.3 Storage You can turn the trainer off and leave it set up with the bike installed, or remove the bike and store it flat. To store flat, turn off the trainer and remove the bike, fold the legs against the frame, and rotate the magnet arrays parallel with the frame. When moving the trainer, carry it by the top of the frame above the legs. To prolong the battery life, do not store the trainer with a fully or nearly depleted battery.
7 TROUBLESHOOTING 7.1 What is the status light indicating? Blue, solid Bluetooth disconnected, ready to pair. Blue, blinking Bluetooth connected, receiving commands. A long blink will alternate with 1-3 short blinks. The number of short blinks indicates the number of Bluetooth channels that are connected. Red, rapid blinking Error message, check the debugging page in the 4iiii app. Yellow, alternating with Blue Battery power is approximately 50% - 25% Mostly Yellow Low battery.
7 TROUBLESHOOTING 7.2 Using the 4iiii app for troubleshooting 1. Download the 4iiii app. 2. Sign in. If this is your first time, select sign up for an account. 3. Connect to the trainer. 4. Select “Diagnostic Tools” and scroll down to “Trainer Sensors”. 5. This screen will give you feedback on the quality of your sensor inputs and tips for improving them.
7 TROUBLESHOOTING 7.3 Troubleshoot your connection over Bluetooth or ANT+ My app can’t find my trainer when it scans Bluetooth • Press re-scan. • Do not attempt to connect to the trainer in your phone’s main Bluetooth connection menu. It is a different connection protocol. If you have previously tried connecting in the phone’s Bluetooth menu, put the device briefly into, then out of, airplane mode and connect from within the app. • Allow Bluetooth and location permissions for the app.
7 TROUBLESHOOTING 7.3 Troubleshoot your connection over Bluetooth or ANT+ Interference and signal dropping These are the common symptoms: • The app repeatedly disconnects. • Fliiiight does not consistently respond to changing ERG targets or hill slopes. • Power and other readings stop populating, or “stick” at a certain value. • During simulation, your avatar keeps stopping even if your wheel is spinning.
7 TROUBLESHOOTING 7.4 Alignment Your magnet array should be level with your bike’s wheel rim. The trainer is shipped aligned for a standard 700c road wheel or 29” mountain bike wheel. If you have a different wheel size, you may need to adjust the resistance unit up or down. Possible symptoms of misalignment: • Magnets come into contact with wheel or tire. • The trainer is not able to hit your resistance targets.
