Infinity F849 Operating Notes

3-2

Using your Infinity electronic start system during training sessions is one

of its most useful features. Swimmers will quickly become accustomed to

electronic starting and will thereby improve their start reflexes.

The volume control on the Infinity Connector Panel module affects only

the PA volume. The start and recall tones always operate at full volume. If

the start tone drops in volume or becomes longer, the battery is getting

low and needs to be recharged.

Check the Battery Life indicator LED to verify your battery’s remaining

power. Its different colors indicate:

Green - fully charged

Yellow - needs charging

Red - almost out of power

Flashing green - in charging mode

If coaches, parents and spectators attempt to start their stopwatches from

the start tone, they will not get accurate starts. The relatively slow speed

of sound (compared with the speed of light) generally results in late stop-

watch starts for observers at any distance from the speakers. Educate your

coaches, parents and spectators to use Infinity’s built-in strobe or external

strobe to trigger their stopwatch starts. The strobe flash is unaffected by

poor acoustics and the fast speed of light ensures that all observers see the

flash at the same time, resulting in more accurate stopwatch starts. The

strobe also ensures fair starts for hearing-impaired athletes.
