Get ready for a RUN
1 Turn on the hat by pressing and holding the power button. The hat beeps three times and the light will pulse blue.
2 Put the hat on your head. Move any hair or fabric accessory away from the sensor contact point to allow direct contact with your forehead.
3 Pair the hat with your fitness device or smartphone, and wait for the heart rate to display. Your device will detect the hat as the 'LifeBEAM Hat'. If your heart rate does not appear, reset the hat by turning it off and then on again. Also reset your smartphone app or fitness device and wait 15 seconds for the heart rate to display.
What’s in the Box The hat comes with the following: QUICK START GUIDE INFORMATION BOOKLET
What is Special about our Hat? Our hat measures your heart rate, cadence and calories, and eliminates the need to wear a chest strap. Sensor Area The optical sensor is integrated into the front of the hat where it gently touches your forehead and monitors your body signals. LifeBEAM Electronic Unit The Electronic Unit is the brain of the hat, and uses information from the sensor to calculate your heart rate, cadence and calories.
Interface Area The Interface Area is located at the back of the Cap, or the right side of the Visor.
First Run Charge Battery Make sure battery is charged BEFORE your first run. 1. Find the LifeBEAM Electronic Unit pocket, located on the inner back side of the Cap, or on the inner right side of the Visor. 2. Using the cable, connect the LifeBEAM Electronic Unit to a USB power source. Either insert the cable through the intended hole in the fabric, or diconnect the Electronic Unit from the hat and remove it from the pocket to charge externally. The status light will pulse orange while charging. 3.
Turn on the Hat Press and hold the power button. The hat will beep three times and the status light will turn on and begin to pulse blue. • Put the hat on your head. • Be careful to establish direct contact between the sensor and the skin of your forehead by moving any hair or fabric accessory away from the sensor contact point. • Adjust the velcro band at the back until the hat fits comfortably and snugly. Make sure the sensor still touches the skin of your forehead.
Please see the wireless connectivity protocol relevant to your device: Smartphone Users Each smartphone app pairs a little differently. Make sure Bluetooth is turned on and that you have the latest version of your fitness app. The hat pairs in the app settings, not in the Bluetooth settings of your phone as in classic Bluetooth devices. Follow the pairing instructions of the app you are using. Note: Each time you change fitness apps on your smartphone you will need to re-pair the hat.
Note: If you take the hat off your head, your heart rate will stop displaying. Depending on your smartphone app and fitness device there will be differences in displayed messages at this time. Now you’re ready to run! For future runs, you only need to turn on your hat. Take Off Your Hat When your hat is off your head and stationary it will automatically turn off after 10 minutes of inactivity. You can also shut down the hat by pressing and holding the power button.
30 minutes before the battery is fully depleted, the hat will begin to beep every 10 minutes and pulse red.
Storage When storing, do not put objects inside the hat that may scratch or damage the sensor. Washing Step 1: Removing the LifeBEAM Electronic Unit Disconnect the cable connecting the LifeBEAM Electronic Unit to the hat. Remove the Unit from the pocket located on the inner back side of the Cap, or the inner right side of the Visor. Make sure you close the end of the cable back inside the pocket while washing, and store the Electronic Unit in a safe location.
Troubleshooting What to do if your Heart Rate does not Display on your Smartphone or Fitness Device: • Verify the hat is paired to your device. • Make sure that nothing is blocking the sensor from touching the skin of your forehead (e.g. hair or fabric accessories). • Make sure the hat is not too tight but fits snugly. • Make sure the LifeBEAM Electronic Unit is properly connected to the hat by opening the hat pocket and making sure the connector is fully inserted into the Electronic Unit.
What to do if the Heart Rate Display is not Regular: • Make sure that nothing is blocking the sensor from touching the skin of your forehead (e.g. hair or fabric accessories). • Readjust the hat on your head so that it is not too tight but fits snugly. • If the heart rate display is still irregular, restart the hat.
