miCoach Pacer User Manual

1. Welcome to miCoach

Thank you for your interest in miCoach and congratulations on purchasing

the miCoach X_CELL.

This user manual provides you with everything you need to use the miCoach

X_CELL.

1.1 miCoach X_CELL Overview

Here is an overview of what the device looks like from the front and back:

The miCoach X_CELL can be used in the following scenarios:

• miCoach X_CELL, together with the multi-sport app, tracks all of your in-game

activity, so you can use it to get feedback on your performance in a range of

sports, including basketball, football, tennis, handball and American football.

• Use it for your Power up drills to get instant feedback on how you perform

in your Jump, Cut and Reaction training.

• You can train with your X_CELL as a Heart Rate Monitor when you pair it with

the miCoach mobile app on your Bluetooth® Smart Ready device.

1.2 miCoach X_CELL Compatibility

The miCoach X_CELL works with smartphones which are compatible with

Bluetooth® Smart Ready technology and the miCoach multi-sport app or

miCoach mobile app.

The miCoach multi-sport app is the key to communicating with the miCoach

X_CELL. You can load your latest data, manage results, and get performance

feedback. The app will tell you how you can improve as an athlete.

Note:

You must download the miCoach multi-sport app from the app store (relevant

for your device) before getting started.

1.3 Wearing miCoach X_CELL

There are two ways of wearing the miCoach X_CELL:

1. With the Textile Strap worn around your chest and the miCoach X_CELL

attached to the strap (measures heart rate).

2. With the X_CELL waist clip (doesn’t measure heart rate).

Follow these steps to wear the miCoach X_CELL correctly:

Textile Strap Usage

1. Clip the X_CELL onto the two snaps

on the Textile Strap. Ensure the

sensors on the back of the strap

are moistened to pick up your

heart rate.

2. Adjust the Textile Strap to ﬁt tightly

on your torso, with the X_CELL

centred just below your pectoral

muscles or breasts. The adidas

logo should be facing up.

With an X_CELL waist clip

1. Insert the X_CELL into the clip.

Make sure the on/off button

is inside the ring of the clip and

the adidas logo is visible.

2. Attach the clip onto your shorts,

in the middle of your waist, with

the on/off button facing towards

your body.

Note:

For the most accurate measurements during your workout, we advise you to

activate and wear the X_CELL for a few minutes prior to starting your workout.

Trouble-shooting:

• Lotions or oil between the skin and the strap may interfere with conductivity,

so you may need to gently cleanse the skin to remove any residue.

• When using the waist clip, if it’s not possible to place it exactly in the center,

(for example if your pants have a drawstring), it’s okay to place it slightly

to one side.

2. Using miCoach X_CELL with a smartphone

2.1 Pairing miCoach X_CELL with your Android or

iOS Bluetooth® Smart Ready compatible device

Note:

Before pairing, ensure Bluetooth® is activated on your smartphone.

Then pair your miCoach X_CELL with the miCoach multi-sport app. To do this,

follow these steps:

1. Launch the miCoach multi-sport app and login if you already have an

account or register on micoach.com to create a new one.

2. Choose “pair sensor now”.

3. Short press the on/off button on the X_CELL.

4. From the app select “Scan” next to X_CELL. Once your X_CELL is found,

select it from the list. You can identify your X_CELL by the ID on the back

of the device (see section 1.1).

Back

The name is only used to identify your sensor in the app.

You can set it new or change it later in sensor settings.

Trouble-shooting:

If pairing fails, please try the following:

1. Make sure your X_CELL is within 0.5 meters of your smartphone and there

are no other miCoach X_CELL devices in the same range.

2. If there is more than one X_CELL device found by the app and you’re

unsure which one is yours, then check that the serial number in the app

matches the serial number on the back cover of the device (see diagram

in section 1.1).

3. Go back to the pairing screen, select “Scan” next to X_CELL, short press the

button on the device and search again.

4. If the X_CELL still isn’t detected, you may need to replace the battery (see

section 4 for instructions).

2.2 Sport Tracking and Syncing

Turning on the X_CELL

Press the button on the front of the X_CELL until you hear three beeps.

Your X_CELL is now recording and you can start your game. Because the

X_CELL stores up to 5 hours of workouts, you won’t need to connect with

your smartphone during your workout.

Here is a list of what the X_CELL measures:

• Sprint force (acceleration)

• Cut force (right/left cuts) and changes in direction

• Jump height

• Hustle score – how hard you play

• Reaction time

• Heart rate

• Game duration

Memory data

miCoach X_CELL records approximately 5 hours of game data. Make sure you

regularly sync your data with the multi-sport app. 5 hours and over of game

tracking means your previous game data will be overwritten.

Play your game, train, and get better by collecting your data and improving

your performance.

3. Syncing will start automatically.

4. When sync is complete your games will show up as new game cards.

5. Edit your game details for each game card by clicking the edit button

(see image).

Trouble-shooting:

If syncing fails, please try these steps:

1. Ensure that your miCoach X_CELL is in range and there are no other

miCoach X_CELL devices in the same range (< 0.5 meters).

3. If the sync process doesn’t start automatically, make sure you have enabled

Bluetooth® under your phone’s settings.

4. Change the battery of the X_CELL (see section 3).

2.3 Training by Power up drills

Power up drills for Jump, Cut and Reaction offer a unique and engaging training

experience. With instant feedback on your performance, X_CELL helps you to

improve faster.

To access Power up drills, select the corresponding menu item in the main

menu of the miCoach multi-sport app. This mode will detect your previously

paired device automatically (for pairing see section 2.1).

To train using Power up drills, follow these steps:

1. Select “Power up drills” in the app.

2. Choose from one of the three drills – Jump, Cut or React – and check out the

coaching notes.

and follow the instructions from the app as you get real-time feedback on

your performance. Make sure your smartphone is within 2 meters of you.

5. Your data will also be recorded to the multi-sport app and after each set of

drills you’ll get an overview of your results and can see how you’ve improved.

Note:

Your Power up drills aren’t saved as game cards.

2.4 Training with X_CELL as a Heart Rate Monitor

Paired with the miCoach mobile app, your X_CELL can also be used as a Heart

Rate Monitor only.

1. Clip your X_CELL onto the Textile Strap, ensuring the sensors on the back

of the strap are moistened. Wear the strap tightly on your torso, with the

X_CELL centred and the adidas logo facing up (for details, see section 1.3).

2. Pair your X_CELL with the miCoach mobile app. You only need to pair your

X_CELL with the miCoach mobile app once. In the app, go to Settings >

Sensors, press the on/off button on the X_CELL and add your X_CELL as

a Heart Rate Monitor.

3. Before starting the workout you can connect your paired X_CELL by simply

short-pressing the on/off button. The app connects to your device and shows

your heart rate. Make sure the X_CELL is within 0.5 meters of your

smartphone. To collect all your heart rate data, make sure you’re carrying

your phone while you work out.

Note:

The miCoach X_CELL used as a standard Heart Rate Monitor is compatible with

all Bluetooth® Smart Ready devices.

2.5 Logging out of the miCoach multi-sport app

If you want to delete all of your data on your app and log out, go to your proﬁle

page.

Please note:

Before logging out of the app, be sure to ﬁrst sync your data. When you log out

of the app, this will reset the miCoach multi-sport app back to factory settings.

This means you will lose any data that has not been synced yet and is stored

only on your phone.

4. Care and Maintenance

1. Unsnap the miCoach X_CELL from the Textile Strap and carefully remove the

miCoach X_CELL: pulling it straight off is recommended. Failure to remove

the miCoach X_CELL from the strap may result in corrosion of the connectors

and deteriorated performance.

2. Store the miCoach X_CELL and Textile Strap in a dry place. If the miCoach

X_CELL or the Textile Strap comes into contact with a damp surface, such

as a towel, it may remain activated and run down the battery.

3. Rinse the strap under clean water to prolong the life of the strap and

ensure the best performance. Hang to dry. The Textile Strap is hand wash

only. Don’t iron, wring, dry clean, or tumble dry.

4. The miCoach X_CELL is water-resistant up to 10 m (33 ft). We don’t

encourage you to submerge the device in water. Swim use isn’t supported.

5. The on/off button of the miCoach X_CELL should be pushed with a ﬁnger

and not with a hard object such as a pen or wire.

3. The miCoach X_CELL Battery

The miCoach X_CELL battery should last for over 5 months in active mode and

18 months in inactive mode. This is equal to 150 hours of active life (5 months

of one hour per day usage at 20 °C). The X_CELL uses a CR2032 coin cell

battery commonly used for cameras and watches. It can be purchased at most

electronic stores.

Note:

You can also use a CR2032H coin battery, which has a longer battery life.

Replacing the X_CELL battery

1. Place the miCoach X_CELL on a clean, ﬂat surface.

2. Use a coin to turn the back cover to the left and remove the battery door.

3. Remove the old battery.

4. Insert the new CR2032 battery, ensuring the + sign on the battery is facing

toward you.

5. Close the back cover by turning it to the right and aligning the two green dots.

Note:

The battery level is displayed in the multi-sport app under Settings > Sensors.

If the battery level is below 20 %, you’ll be notiﬁed during pairing and syncing.

We recommend you to keep a second battery on hand, just in case.
