This document provides information about compatibility of i.Concept monitors and accessories with mobile devices and how exercise data is displayed. It discusses:
1. Which i.Concept monitors can display data on smartphones/tablets via Bluetooth and which only display on the monitor.
2. How pulse, cadence, and resistance data is captured, transmitted, and displayed between i.Concept devices, accessories, and mobile apps.
3. Limitations of using the T-KIT accessory on non-motorized machines in matching resistance from mobile apps.

i.VS Motion model is equipped with E1 monitor, which does not integrate Bluetooth technology
However, it is possible to use a chest belt with Bluetooth wireless technology as that chest belt will send the
information to the smartphone or tablet, not to the monitor
Therefore, the information about the pulse will be only displayed on the compatible smartphone or tablet
(which must be equipped with Bluetooth Smart Ready)

• When a model is equipped with T-KIT , there is NOT an automatic adjustment of the resistance. It is the
user who has to adjust MANUALLY the machine’s resistance.

When pedalling, the information about the cadence is transmitted from the pedal to the machine’s monitor.
This information can be viewed both on the machine’s monitor and also on a compatible smartphone or tablet
equipped with Bluetooth wireless technology
Thanks to T-KIT, when user s pedal, the information about the cadence is sent from the Bluetooth Smart
emitter, which is placed on the pedal, to the smartphone or tablet (that must integrate Bluetooth Smart
Ready wireless technology)

14. WHEN USERS INCREASE/DECREASE THE RESISTANCE LEVEL ON THE MONITOR
1.- User press the button to increase/decrease resistance on the monitor
2.- On the one hand, this information is sent to the App, which will display it on the screen of the smartphone or
tablet
3.- On the other hand, the information will be also sent to the monitor, which will increase/decrease the
resistance
4.- The pedalling will be harder or softer
WHEN THE APP INCREASES/DECREASES THE RESISTANCE
1.- The App indicates that the resistance level must be increased/decreased (i.e.: we are using Run on Earth and
we pass from a flat terrain to a mountain path)
2.- The information of the new resistance level is displayed on the screen of the smartphone or tablet
3.- The information will be also sent to the motor, which will increase the resistance
4.- The pedalling action will be harder

15. When the App (i.e. Run on
Earth) displays on the screen of
the smartphone or tablet the
resistance level of the route
users must adjust manually the resistance
of the machine, so that it can match with
the one shown in the App

16. THEREFORE….
> If users place the T-KIT on an indoor bike (or bicycle trainer, crosstrainer or
manual bike)
Usually they are not equipped with engine, that is why it is impossible that automatically
the App sends an order to the pedal to change the resistance level
> If users place the T-KIT on a program version of a bicycle or crosstrainer
Although they have motor, the T-KIT works independently, and T-KIT cannot communicate
with the motor. For this reason, users must also adjust the resistance manually

17. If…
> You already have a crosstrainer, indoor bike, exercise bike or bicycle trainer
Buying the T-KIT, you could turn it into a machine with i.Concept technology. It is easy and has
an affordable price
THE LACK OF COMUNICATION between the T-KIT and the resistance motor is the
reason why WE DO NOT RECOMMEND buying a NEW manual or program bicycle or
crostrainer and THEN buy the T-KIT separately; the experience is not going to be
never the same than buying a machine with the i.Concept technology integrated
But, remember…
