4. USING THE AIRHUB SMARTPHONE APPLICATION

4.1. Training application

Green = Heart Rate Strap Connected

Grey = Searching for Heart Rate Monitor or Poor connection

Red = No Heart Rate Strap Connected

Red = No AIRhub detected or connected

Grey = Signal sent to AIRhub

Green = Signal received from AIRhub. AIRhub connected.

To save power on your smartphone try these ideas: reduce brightness,
activate lock screen while running app in the background and/or use
aeroplane mode with Bluetooth activated.

4.2. Device Compatibility

The AIRhub Smartphone App is currently compatible with Apple iOS and
Android devices.

The Viiiiva Heart Rate Monitor broadcasts both Bluetooth Light protocol
(BLE) and ANT+ signals, allowing heart rate data to be collected
simultaneously by your phone and other recording devices; SRM, Garmin
etc.

The AIRhub uses BLE to transmit data. BLE protocol uses power similar
to that of the super low power wireless protocol ANT+ and will not drain
your battery like other Bluetooth devices.

5. SETTING UP THE AIRHUB

5.1. Connection and resistance parameters

The AIRhub requires a minimum speed of 15km/h before data is transmitted
to the Smartphone App and pairing can occur.

No resistance is applied below 15km/h.

Maximum speed where resistance can be applied is 50km/h.

When resistance is applied a light tapping is felt. This is normal and indicates
the AIRhub is working.

Once a command is sent, resistance will be continuously applied – even
while the Application is closed/in the background.

To stop resistance a Pause command must be sent by using the “Pause”
button on the home screen.

The device will stay active whilst stationary for up to 2 mins.
