2.2 Compatibility

The miCoach SMART RUN works with devices compatible with Bluetooth®

NOTE: If you haven’t paired your miCoach SMART RUN with a Bluetooth®
device, pair them before you start working out (see Bluetooth® on page

63).

Basic steps

3.1 Charging

After unpacking the device, we recommend fully charging the miCoach
SMART RUN before using it for the first time. The miCoach SMART RUN is
charged using a supplied charging cradle. This cradle is also used for
transferring music files.

When your miCoach SMART RUN is turned on and connected to your
PC/Mac, the screen goes to the Settings domain with only battery status
displayed.

Please note that the charging status will always be visible on top with a
light grey overlay over the usual screen. It shows the battery charging
icon.

This combined with the steady growth of the battery percentage tells
you that your miCoach SMART RUN is charging. You’ll also see the
animated battery icon in the status bar (see page 19). The screen blanks
after 20 seconds of inactivity. Pressing the miCoach button displays the
Clock domain.

Generally, we recommend not using the device during charging to ensure a
fast and smooth charging process.

When wearing the miCoach SMART RUN, it will inform you when the
battery is running low.

The first notification will be when battery level is below 30%:

The second notification will appear when battery level is below 15%.

When running out of battery, the miCoach SMART RUN will automatically
power off.

The miCoach SMART RUN will automatically save your workout data before
shutting down so your workout stats aren’t lost.

3.3 Wearing miCoach SMART RUN during a workout

Your miCoach SMART RUN utilizes a revolutionary technology to accurately
track you heart rate. To enable this technology to work most effectively and
detect a good heart rate signal, please follow the easy steps below:

When you’re not using the heart rate monitor, you can wear your miCoach
SMART RUN as a casual device.

If you continue experiencing challenges in getting your heart rate, try the
following steps:

• Tighten the strap and/or move the miCoach SMART RUN further up

your forearm.

• On cold days, the heart rate sensor can be impacted. We recommend

activating the heart rate reading while still indoors and, if necessary,
wearing a sleeve over the device.

• If you’re still having trouble, try wearing the device on your other wrist.

• Fasten the miCoach SMART RUN snugly so the optical sensor on the

back of the device makes tight contact with your skin. Make sure it’s
close fitting, but not too tight.

• Wear the miCoach SMART RUN away from, not on, your wrist bone. If

you have small wrists, wear it higher on the forearm.

• The miCoach SMART RUN heart rate sensor performance is optimized

with greater blood flow. Exercise for a few minutes to increase your
blood flow before turning on the heart rate monitor.

• Minimize hand movement and extreme bending of the wrist while using

the miCoach SMART RUN’s heart rate sensor.

3.4 Turning the device on/off

Turning your SMART RUN on

A sequence of screens welcomes you. This includes the adidas and miCoach
logos along with a pulsing animation screen for the duration of the booting
up process.

To turn on the miCoach SMART RUN, press the miCoach button until the
device vibrates.

Powering on sequence

The sequence ends with the clock view and the device being unlocked and
ready for use.

“Hard off”-switch: Pressing the on/off for 8 seconds from any state
immediately shuts miCoach SMART RUN down without any animations.
This provides a method for restarting a device in the exceptional case that
the device doesn’t react anymore.

Turning off

b) With miCoach button (from locked state):

You have two options to power off your miCoach SMART RUN:

a) From Settings (see section 8):

Going to the device subdomain and tap the power off menu option to shut
down the device.

Press and hold the button. This will follows the same sequence used
for locking the screen (see section 3.6, page 23).

Continuing to press the button during the locking animation produces
a power switch image and a progress bar at the bottom.

Pressing the button until the progress bar reaches the end powers off
the miCoach SMART RUN. The device will vibrate to confirm that the
power is off.

Restarting your miCoach SMART RUN:

Pressing and holding the button for 8 seconds from any state immediately
shuts down the device without animations.

3.5 Initially setting up your SMART RUN_

Before starting to work out, set up the miCoach SMART RUN. Follow the
directions on the device when on first use or after resetting (see Reset on
section 7.4, page 69).

Battery level will be shown if the level is below 50%. Please charge the
device (page 7) in order to be able to follow the set up.

Powering on sequence will appear before starting.

NOTE: See page 18 to learn how to navigate through the domains and
subdomains

Step1: Choose your language and confirm it.

Step 2: Connect to your WLAN.

You have the option to select the WLAN and enter your passkey using the
virtual keyboard (see page 17 for keyboard use).

If available on your router, you have also the option to connect to WLAN via
WPS.

Once the miCoach SMART RUN is connected to WLAN, the next screen will
appear.

Step 3: Choose your time zone and confirm/edit time and date.

Step 4: Log in with a miCoach account.

If you don´t have a miCoach account, visit miCoach.com/start, sign up, and
log in from your miCoach SMART RUN.

If you already have an account, enter your account details with token or
with email.

a) With token

The token-based sign-in requires you to visit miCoach.com/start to
enter the token given by the device.

Note: If you use special characters in your password, you’ll need to
sign in via this “Token” approach.

b) With email

Use the virtual keyboard (for more details on the keyboard, please
see page 19).

This image below will be shown while your profile is syncing.

Step 5: Add a Bluetooth® device if you have one (if you want to pair it later,
see page 62).

The pairing process will start and your headset will be connected.

Let your miCoach SMART RUN check for the Bluetooth® devices and select
the one you want to pair.

Pairing devices can be done repeatedly. To dismiss this option, tap “DONE.”

Step 6: Ready to go!

The check mark indicates that the initial set up is complete. Swipe to start
and reveal the Clock domain.

3.6 Navigating the miCoach SMART RUN

miCoach SMART RUN is divided into four domains which are located next to
each other.

Many of miCoach SMART RUN´s screens slide up and stop within the set
limit. This is called screen-based scrolling.

To move to another domain, swipe left on the screen. The next domain will
slide into view.

Swipe up and down to reveal the subdomains.

Some views scroll freely, without any limitation. The screen can set
anywhere between list items.

To select, tap on the screen. This slides the following view into place from
the right.

3.7 Keyboard use

To allow you to manually enter information, we created a virtual keyboard.
This keyboard has multiple layers which can be accessed by swiping
vertically. The keyboard views are paging so that each keyboard snaps into
place when entering the view. The keyboards are horizontally scrollable to
choose the letters. To make a selection, tap on the item you’d like to enter.

To go back, drag the previous screen into view (note that the view on right
appears from the left).

Swiping the third and last keyboard up reveals the “OK” button and disables
the keyboards. If you don’t interact for a certain period of time, the screen
will scroll down and the keyboards will be disabled. Scroll up to continue
using the keyboards.

NOTE: Special characters from other languages aren’t supported. To connect your device with a miCoach account, use the token sign in (see page 16).

3.8 Screen lock

Keeping the miCoach button pressed produces a lock symbol and a
progress bar at the bottom of the screen. The bar advances as long as the
button is pressed. Once the full length of the display width has been
reached, the lock is activated and the open lock symbol changes to a locked
symbol.
The locking starts after the button has been pressed for 0.5 seconds.
After 1 second, the bar should have reached the end of the screen and the
screen gets locked.
Continuing to press the on/off button will power off the miCoach SMART
RUN (more details in section 3.2).

Opening screen lock

When the screen is locked, pressing and holding the button unlocks the
screen. The bar advances as long as the button is kept pressed.
After 1 second, it’s full and the screen unlocks.

Automatic screen locking

miCoach SMART RUN´s screen automatically locks after 5 minutes.
In workout mode, the screen never locks to provide you with full access to
your stats at all times.

3.9 Display Sleep Mode

You can wear your SMART RUN of course also as a regular watch. Whenever you
do not activate the screen lock as outlined in the previous section, the device
automatically puts the display to “sleep”. This “sleep mode” is intended to increase
the battery life of your device. Please note that this mode will only be activated
when you are not working out with the SMART RUN.

4. Clock domain

4.1 Stopwatch

The clock face is shown whenever you unlock miCoach SMART RUN or
when pressing the miCoach button shortly while it’s locked.

To choose a different clock face, go to the Settings menu to browse options
(further details section 7.4, page 67).

Your SMART RUN has also a Stopwatch.
Here is how the stopwatch works:

- Tapping “START” begins the stopwatch.

- Tapping “STOP” pauses the time.

- Tapping “Reset” returns to default.

- Tapping “RESUME” restarts the stopwatch.
