MyTach – User Manual
Dear Customer, Greatly experienced in developing technology for motorsports, AIM now introduces MyTach, the
new sport training GPS tool, which samples and shows the essential information to constantly monitor the key variables during sport activities. MyTach has been designed for all sports that need a displacement along a route like running, cycling, canoe, horse riding, skiing etc. The main parameters it shows are:
Release 1.04
• instant and average speed
• run distance from the start line
• lap times
• length, frequency and number of steps
• altimetric data (height, slope)
• and more depending on different types of sports
Thanks to its innovative FCHS (Fast Connection High Sensitivity) technology, MyTach will detect satellite signals a few seconds after start up and works perfectly in those out of range open area., for example under trees, in canyons, on river rapids. We suggest to periodically check on www.aim-sportline.com new releases to update MyTach.

3 – How to charge the battery
MyTach uses a Lithium battery pack. 1 – Snap MyTach into the docking station
2 – Plug the cable to the adapter and in the docking station as
follows:
• Mini USB connector in the docking station
USB connector in the adapter or in the PC (switched on).
3 – When MyTach is charging, the message “Charging” and the percentage of battery status appears on the display.
4 – Disconnect MyTach once charging is complete (100%)
By default MyTach starts GPS initialization. When charging is completed the battery indicator has 8 marks and the duration with GPS switched on is of approximately 9 hours.
After 20 minutes of inactivity or if GPS is disabled (keep “GPS on-off” pressed for 2”) MyTach switches to power save mode and runs only as a watch. The duration of the battery in power save mode is about.100 hours. To exit power save mode keep “GPS on-off” pressed for 2”
NOTE : To start recording battery charge status must have at least 2 marks.

4 – Acquiring Satellite Signals
Press “On/Off” button to switch MyTach on. If MyTach battery is flat or if MyTach is switched on for the first time during the day, satellites signal detection may take 2 minutes, otherwise MyTach starts immediately satellites signal acquisition. Press ”Mode” button to enter Service mode. Press “Arrow” buttons to select Satellites page. The black bars represent the strength of each satellite signal received (the number of the satellite appears below each bar) - Figure below on the left.
The signal quality changes following the number of acquired satellites. The signal status range is from 8 (very good quality) to 1 (bad quality signal) marks – Figure above on the right.
The table below shows the correspondence between number of satellites and signal status:
Number of satellites Signal status Signal quality
0-2 0 marks bad
3 1 marks bad 4 2 marks weak 5 3 marks weak 6 4 marks good 7 5 marks good 8 6 marks excellent 9 7 marks excellent
Over 10 8 marks excellent
