HOW TO USE
-
11 pods
Each tray has 11 charging slots which correspond to the 11 time slots the Vantage can track.
-
1 Tray, 11 Pods, 2 Angle Adaptors.
-
Yes. A new replacement tray can be purchased.
-
A singular pod can be purchased as replacement.
-
The angled adaptors can be purchased as a set of 2.
-
Each pod corresponds to a tray slot and anatomical marker (e.g., Slot 1 = Toe, Slot 2 = Heel, etc.). When removing a pod from the tray, a green light will blink its time slot (e.g., 6 green blinks = Slot 6).
Refer to the SU Tutorial Videos for additional details.
-
Yes. Place the pod in the desired tray slot until the red light blinks, indicating it has reprogrammed. Remove the pod and the green light will blink the new time slot.
-
While it is possible, with the pods being singular and having no wire pulling on them, the pods stay on the rider much better.
The pods use the same black and white sticky dots that the harness use.
Hotter and humid climates or sweatier riders may experience the pods falling off, mainly on the knee, elbow, and wrist.
A skin adhesive spray is recommended to help prevent this. The Team at Specialized uses the Mueller Tuffner Quick Drying Adherant Spray.
Pod lights and charging
-
Place pods in the tray.
A solid red light = charging.
No red light = fully charged.
If the Pods are not charging, ensure that the tray is connected to the charger.
-
Charge wirelessly via a MagSafe charger or USB-C cord. The tray will charge faster on the USB-C cord. It is recommended to leave the tray on the charger when not in use.
A solid green light = charging.
-
No. The tray and pods can be left indefinitely in a charging position.
-
Yes, the pod will blink a double red light.
-
This indicates the pod is low on battery. Place the pod back in the tray and ensure the tray is charged.
-
A fully charged pod will last for more than a day out of the tray.
It is recommended to keep all pods in the tray when not in use.
troubleshooting
-
Check the LED status in the app.
Green = connected/in view of Vantage
Red = disconnected/not in view of Vantage
Make sure the Pod is directly facing the Vantage.
Green blink = seen; Red blink = lost signal
You can test this by blocking the pod with your hand. The pod should respond with a red blink when blocked, and then a green blink when hand is removed.
Click the Vantage icon in the app, and “pair harness/zin”
Check that the pod is charged.
If the pod is showing two red blinks, the battery is low and needs to be charged in the tray
Reset the Pod
Place the Pod back in it’s tray slot to reset. Then take the Pod back out, make sure it blinks the correct slot number and shows a green blink in front of Vantage. Place on rider and try again.
If the Pod still isn’t working, try programming a new pod to the desired slot and placing that in view of the Vantage and on the rider.
If the Pod is still not working, contact bodygeometryservicedesk@specialized.com.
-
To run a diagnostics test, following the instructions in this video.
For ease of use, it is recommended to create a “testing stick.” This could be a piece of cardboard that has 8 sticky dots on it and numbered for each Pod to velcro to. This allows you to quickly test the Pods all at once without a rider.
-
Pods are only serviceable by the Body Geometry Team.
Any other servicing of the pods will void warranty.
Replacement parts are available.
-
Ensure pods are facing the Vantage. The pod must be pointing towards the Vantage. Specifically check the angle of the shoulder or wrist pod.
Try elevating the Vantage 20cm higher for better detection (especially for shoulder marker).
-
Keep the rider out of the field of view while zinning if they’re wearing the pods. Otherwise, the Vantage may pick up pod signals.
compatibility
-
No. The wireless pods are only compatible with Vantages that have the proper wireless transmitter. See this document for compatibility details.
-
If the Vantage you have does not have the dark LED transmitter, contact your Specialized / Body Geometry Fit representative for details on how to have your Vantage upgraded.
The cost is $120 USD.
