-
All Retul Vantage systems use Channels. These range in numbers between 1 and 15. Anything outside of that range is not normal behavior
-
From left to right, the icons in the top-right corner represent the following. Each icon represents the device in question. Please keep in mind that an icon with a green border indicates it is active and connected. Grey means it is not connected
The first is an image of the Vantage, which indicates VCB connectivity. In this case, the icon has a green border. This implies the Vantage and VCB has a successful connection
Second is the DSD (Digital Sitbone Device). In this instance, the DSD is not connected or turned off
Third is the DFD (Digital Foot Device). In this instance, the DFD is not connected or turned off
Next is the status of the sacral sensor (ANGi). In this instance, it is not connected. The sacral sensor is turned on by gently shaking the device
The cloud-like icon indicates that your data has been synced with the cloud. If the icon turns into a spinner, that indicates the App is actively syncing with the cloud. If the icon has a red border, that indicates that it has not been synced.
-
The ‘searching’ status on the VCB screen implies that the VCB is waiting for some activity coming from the App. If the App is closed, the ‘searching' status will remain. If the App is opened and you have had a successful connection previously, that status will change to ‘connected’. If you have not had a previous connection, the 'searching’ status will remain. If this is the behavior, proceed with the Hardware Onboarding Tool
-
The 'connected' status on the VCB screen implies that there is a successful connection with the App and the VCB. This is further verified by looking for a Channel in the Channel section. The Channel has to range between 1 and 15
-
After turning the VCB On, the screen remains blank for around 15 - 20 seconds. If the device is functioning normally, that status will change to 'searching'. If it remains, try turning the VCB off, waiting 15 - 20 seconds before starting again. If the screen remains blank, you may have a faulty device.

No, the VCB powers both the Vantage and the dongle. Only the VCB needs to be turned off.
-
There is no way to know if all devices are set to the same channel. The channel you see in the Channel section of the Hardware page is the Channel of the dongle. The only way to make sure all devices are on the same Channel is for you to change Channels. Please make sure all your devices are turned On before changing Channels
-
This discrepancy can be caused by one of the following
The Zin tip is bent
The glass on the Vantage is either scratched or dirty. If dirty, please use the cloth that came with the Vantage to clean it. Using a can of compressed air to clean the glass works really well. DO NOT use a paper towel, tissue, or rag. That will scratch the glass
STUDIO setup
-
Check the recommended distance of the Vantage from the bike. If it is either too close or too far, the Vantage will not be able to read the data coming from the Zin Tool. The recommended distance is 8 feet
The height of the Vantage on the tripod from the ground could cause similar behavior. The recommended height is 3.5 feet
-
This could be caused by a height and/or distance discrepancy, as mentioned in the above question.
-
The success of the 2-step pedal spindle process is dependent the Vangtage successfully reading data coming from the three lowest markers on the harness, namely, the toe, heel, and ankle. If the Vantage cannot see these markers, there will be some challenges. Check the distance and height of your setup and verify that those markers are functioning
-
Inconsistent behavior of the devices could be the result of one of the following
in your fit studio, If your Vantage is facing large windows that allow a lot of natural light to enter the room, this could cause some challenges. The Vantage will have difficulty determining the difference between the data coming from the LEDs and the natural light
