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).

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).

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.
3. Tap “Get Started” in the app and select the position in which you’re wearing

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.

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.
12
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.
