The unit will automatically turn off after approx. 45 minutes inactivity. Just before turning itself off it will display “Off!”. The unit can be manually shut down by long pressing the Select Button ②. The unit will display “Off!” as it turns off, and the Status LED 3○ will stop flashing.
Staða rafhlöðu
When the unit’s battery falls below 50%, the Status LED 3○ will turn from blue to green. When the battery falls below 25%, the Status LED 3○ will start flashing red. At this point we recommend charging the Unit.
Endurstilla eininguna
The unit can be reset to default conditions by holding in both dials simultaneously for more than approx. 10 Seconds. When both dials are pressed, the display will show “Rebooting!”. After a few more seconds the display will go blank and the status LED will flash through a cycle of colours. After booting, the Sign will display the model (ACS270) and the software version.

Connecting to your Stopwatch
- To connect to your Stopwatch, first setup your Watch by turning it on and finding the Setup Mode. In Setup Mode, set your Channel number (e.g. Channel 15).*
- Turn on your Display by pressing in the lower dial until the unit displays Network ID and group and the Status LED 3 blinks.
- Network ID and Channel Number MUST be the same for Stopwatches, Displays and Speakers to communicate with each other. Rotate the lower Dial until the LED Display shows “Chan #”. From here, as in step 2, rotate the upper Dial to select the Channel number that matches your number used for the Performance Stopwatch (Default is Channel 15), then ‘long press’ the lower dial until the Display confirms your selection by reading “Saved”.
- Confirm your connection by starting a race in Race Mode on your Performance Stopwatch and looking for the start commands on your display. The display will also operate in Watch and Speed modes, allowing use of the stopwatch without the speakers sounding. The displays are capable of displaying velocity splits and stroke rates, as well as time splits and race placing. (See 4.4, 4.5 below)
Please refer to the Performance Stopwatch User Manual for detailed instructions regarding your Watch

The display will show “1st Ready!” when Pace Mode is initiated on the watch and subsequently display the lanes and stopwatch accumulation. - Smart Watch in Race Mode
The LED Sign will display “Ready” when the starter’s whistle is activated on the watch, “On marks!” when “take your marks” is activated and will start displaying lanes and the race times when the Smart Watch starts the race. “Abort!” will be displayed if the Smart Watch user decides to cancel the race. “False Start!” will be displayed if the starter sends a false start command.
Splits recorded by the watch will be displayed according to the corresponding lane and rounded to 0.01 seconds. Unless Race .1 is selected, times below 1 minute will be rounded to 0.01 seconds on the ACS270, or to the nearest .1 seconds for longer durations. - Smart Watch in Interval Mode
As per Pace Mode, the LED Display will read “On Marks” when the watch announces “Take Your Marks” and subsequently display the lanes and stopwatch accumulation after the “Go” beep.
Times recorded by the watches will be displayed in their corresponding lanes and rounded to either 0.1 or 0.01 seconds depending on your settings. - Smart Watch in Watch Mode
The LED display shows the primary information the ACS270 displays, allowing the coach to look at the display and watch the swimmer, and not look down at their watch. Also the Athletes can see the display, eliminating the need for the coach to yell out the result.
Stroke rate displayed on an ACS270 - Smart Watch in Speed Mode
In addition to times and stroke rates, in Speed mode split times are not displayed, but split velocities are as shown below.
ACS270 displaying 1.23 Meters per second velocity split.
- Tími
To reach Time, rotate the lower Dial until the Display shows “Time”.
Time Mode simply displays the current time of day as hh:mm:ss. Time mode will be suspended automatically when any connected Smart Watch starts a timing activity or event, and will automatically resume after the Watch has become inactive. - Pace Clock
To reach Pace Clock, rotate the lower Dial until the Display shows “Pace Clk”.
For the ACS270 the Pace Clock will display two clocks showing seconds with a 30 second gap or separation between each clock/display.

To reach Multi Pace 5, rotate the lower Dial until the Display shows “Pace 5”. The display has the 2 right hand digits displaying traditional Pace Clock digits, the first 6 digits are colour coded time cycle counters, the slowest time cycle on the left side, each digit to the right is a 5 second faster time-cycle. Athletes just need remember the colour (time-cycle) and what digit they left on. E.g. Green 4. No mental arithmetic is therefore needed to swim any of the six different time-cycles - (ACS270) Multi Pace Clock – 10 Second steps
To reach Multi Pace 10, rotate the lower Dial until the Display shows “Pace 10”. The display has right hand 2 digits displaying traditional Pace Clock digits, the first 6 digits are colour coded time cycle counters, the slowest time cycle on the left side, each digit to the right is a 10 second faster time-cycle. Athletes just need remember the colour (time-cycle) and what digit they left on. E.g. Green 4. No mental arithmetic is therefore needed to swim any of the six different time-cycles
Í þessu frvample swimmer number 1 in the fastest of 6 groups is leaving, swimmer number 7 in the slowest group, swimmer number 8 in the second slowest, etc.
Digits 7 and 8, without colour, can be seen operating as a normal Pace Clock – that is 00 to 59. (25 seconds showing) - Hópur

Using a lower brightness setting will allow up to 5 times battery life for a given use. If the battery level is low, (Red flashing status LED) high brightness settings will not activate in order to preserve maximum remaining battery time.
Hleðsla rafhlöðunnar
- The Auto coach Smart Display can be recharged with the supplied AC Adapter (5V 4000mA).

- Geymsla
Try to store in an as dry and cool place as possible. When in use always stand the LED Display on its base and take care not to drop the unit on hard surfaces. Protective carry cases are also available for both LED Display models. Don’t put a wet display inside a case, wipe it dry to prevent corrosion.
- Meðhöndlun
The SmartDisplay is water RESISTANT, and NOT water proof. Do not submerge the unit! After use around splash areas, be sure to shake any water out of the unit and wipe off remaining droplets. Also the holes for USB port and battery charger must be covered when not used to prevent water splashing in. We recommend a small piece of gaffer or duct tape or Blu Tack over the holes. - Merking
Please put a large sticker on your LED Display to ensure it is not accidentally taken or stolen. An increasing number of clubs now use AutoCoach equipment so if taking equipment to race meets or training camps, it is better to be well prepared! If you have more than one unit, we recommend labelling it with the squad or group number. - Núllstilla
If the program fails to respond or the device will not turn on, try performing a Reboot as per Section 1.4. Please record what you were doing when the problem happened and report to us in order for the problem to be investigated.
Festing á þrífót
Please attach bracket as shown in this image. 
Use the 3 or 4 nuts / wing nuts to attach tripod bracket as shown above. Be careful not to over tighten the knob and place display on tripod in an area where no one will bump it or trip over the display! We recommend at least 3m from the pool for safety and reducing the chance of exposure to splashing water. If your Display has no mount bolts, it will need to be retrofitted. Please contact us for instructions.
