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.
