When you open your Trace for the first time, follow the “Start Here” instructions. With your phone, go to TraceUp.com/setup and choose the sport you’ll be using Trace for the most.
It’s very important to follow the instructions when mounting Trace to your surfboard, skis, or snowboard. Make sure the surface is clean, make sure the arrows are pointing toward the front of the board, and wait 24 hours for the mount to fully adhere.
For extra security, there’s a leash eyelet on the mount that you can attach a tether to. If you’re skiing or snowboarding, you must attach the mount tether to your binding to guarantee your waranty with Trace.
Once the mount on your board has cured for a full 24 hours, you’re ready to use Trace. Follow the steps to track your session:
Yellow means Trace is looking for a GPS signal. Trace must be outside to acquire a GPS signal.
Blue means Trace has acquired GPS and is ready to start recording your stats.
Blinking blue means Trace is recording. Go surf, ski or snowboard.
When you’re finished, open Trace Surf or Trace Snow and go to “New Session”.
After you’re finished tracking your session, go to New Session. Your phone should already be paired with Trace. If it’ not, press the “Have a Trace? Pair Now” button and make sure your bluetooth is turned on.
If your Trace is already paired, you should see the first screen below. Follow these steps to upload your session:
Depending on how long the session was, this may take a few minutes.
While your session is uploading you can add a photo and add info about your equipment.
After your session is done uploading, tap the blue bar at the top to view your stats.
Once you’ve successfully updated your session, you’ll see all your session details.
It takes roughly two hours to fully charge Trace. When Trace is charging, the green light will blink, when Trace is finished chargin, the green light will be solid. You can plug charging station into your computer or a wall USB port.
