T7.1 - Timing off the front foot in the Dash drill will result in faster
than actual times (athlete gets a full step before moving their front
foot). For 2-point starts we suggest using the Flying drill with the
beam waist high, right in front of the athlete.
T7: Unrealistic times.
T7.2 - Tripods being too low (shin of the athlete) can result in
slightly off times due to the leg being in front of or behind the
athlete's center of mass when crossing the beam. We suggest waist
high placement.

Actions
Dashr uses a mobile application to control the laser modules and display testing
times. The free Dashr Wireless Timing App can be downloaded from both the
Google Play Store and the Apple App Store.
NOTE: Operation of the system requires that your phone has Bluetooth® turned on
to connect to the laser modules. Connection takes place in the App, not your
phones' settings.
Make sure that your phone/tablet is properly charged before using the Dashr
system. Open the Dashr App on your mobile device and log into your Dashr
account. If you do not have an account, you can make one at
dashboard.dashrsystems.com.
BATTERY COMPARTMENT: The bottom of the laser module has a battery cover
that snaps in and out. To remove the cover, squeeze the battery cover on the laser
side of the module (sometimes these are pretty tight when new). This will release
the clips and allow you to pull to cover off.
BATTERIES: Each Dashr|Blue laser module requires two AA batteries. Make sure
you put the batteries in correctly and have the silk ribbon under the batteries for
removal. Look for the + sign in the battery compartment to properly align your
battery. Failing to put the batteries in correctly may damage the laser.
All Dashr products (besides 2.0 and RFID modules) need to be registered with your
phone or tablet. To do this, select "Device Registration" from the main page and
power on your Dashr devices one at a time – selecting it from the "Available
Devices" list and assigning it a number. There is a spot on your Dashr device where
you can label your device with that number. Repeat this for each device. Note that
this must only be done once per phone/tablet that uses the Dashr device(s).
