1. OUTLINE

The PLAYR GPS system is a professional-grade GPS system designed for use by teams and sub-elite individuals.

This document introduces the system, explaining how to operate the pod, download the sync tool, upload

your data after you have trained or played a game and lastly analyzer, compare and share your data.

The PLAYR software system is cloud based and the syncing of the training and game data requires a reasonably good

Internet connection. To sync the data, you will need a mobile phone, either iPhone or Android. Once you have

uploaded your data you can log in from most mobile phones. You can browse your information by using our APP on the

phone. We suggest that you keep your system up to date and that you use an up-to-date version of your web browser.

FIRST USE AND CHARGE

To make sure full battery charge before wearing, put pod on the

charging dock connecting to USB port or 5V adapter through USB

type A-type C cable. The display bar is going to show the battery

capacity with 1.5 second duration of blinking after wireless charge

starts. When the display bar is full, it’s time to stop the charging by

removing pod from the charging dock and the blinking will stop.

BATTERY CHARGE LEVEL CHECK

The pod is at standby mode with very low power consumption before any activation event. To activate and

check the battery capacity, tap the pod twice with your finger. The pod will turn on and display the

battery charge level by the length of the display bar.

VEST POUCH INSERTION

The pod will blink the display bar with 0.5 second intervals when it is put into the back pouch on the vest.

The pod is now ready to record your player data triggered via motion or phone APP activation.

DATA RECORDING

When activated by user motion or the phone APP, the pod will acquire GNSS satellite signals and record the

player motion and position data. The top light of the display bar will continuously turn on to indicate GNSS

position fixes.

POWER SAVING

The Pod will return to standby mode with minimum power consumption whenever it is removing from the vest

pocket or the charging dock.

GENERAL CARE

The PlayR pod is quite robust and tackles in football and rugby will not damage it. The pod has been tested

for two metre falls onto hard surfaces however for best results we advise that you keep the pod in its

charging dock whenever not using it to ensure full battery charge level.

WATER RESISTANCE

The PlayR pod is designed for outdoor use and can be used in weather conditions typically encountered

during football and rugby, including heavy rain and snow. The pod has been tested at temperatures from ---

10 °C to +50 °C (14 °F to 122 °F). Please note that lower temperatures may result in lower battery

capacity.

VESTS

The PLAYERTEK vest is made from a light, breathable material for maximum comfort. Each vest is fitted

with a pouch where the pod is housed securely. It is imperative the vest is tight fitting. This is so to

ensure accurate motion data for impact readings. The vests should be washed at a low temperature and

spin rate.
