What to know about the sensor before your first match: how to charge it, what the lights mean and where it goes in the vest.

Before you start
  • The sensor, vest and magnetic charging cable from your kit
  • A USB phone charger or a computer
  • An outdoor pitch: there's no GPS signal indoors
  1. 1

    Charge it before first use

    Bring the magnetic cable close to the sensor: it snaps on by itself. The light turns red while charging and green when done, in about 2 hours. Once fully charged it switches off on its own.

  2. 2

    Switch it on outdoors

    Hold the button for 1 second. Steady yellow: searching for satellites. Steady blue: GPS locked. If it hasn't been used for days, switch it on about 10 minutes before playing.

  3. 3

    Put on the vest

    The sensor goes in the back pocket, between the shoulder blades. The vest should fit snugly so the sensor doesn't bounce when you run.

  4. 4

    Start recording

    Press the button once: the light starts blinking. Blinking blue: recording with signal. Blinking yellow: recording, still without signal; wait in the open.

  5. 5

    Stop recording when you finish

    Press the button once to close the session. The recording stays saved on the sensor even if it switches off or runs out of battery.

  6. 6

    Switch off and download

    Hold the button for 5 seconds to switch it off. Then download the session with the Onyx Track app or, if you're a coach, with the Team Hub.

Tips
  • → The lights in short: yellow = no signal, blue = signal, blinking = recording, red when switching on = low battery.
  • → Download your sessions often: the sensor's memory is limited and the oldest recordings get overwritten.
  • → Always wash the vest without the sensor. trackPRO handles rain (IP67); track is not submersible.

Something failing? Won't switch on? Charge it for at least 30 minutes: with a very low battery it won't turn on, but it keeps what it recorded. No signal? Move away from buildings and roofs and wait a few minutes with the yellow light.
