Splitscreen Manual

1. Where to put it

The Splitscreen must be mounted firmly to the boat. If it wobbles around while you are rowing it will not work correctly.
The Splitscreen needs a clear view of the sky (don't put it underneath a rigger etc).
The mounting is a quarter turn twist lock. On delivery a new mount will be a little stiff but will wear in after the first few uses.

Press the left button to turn on.
Hold the left button for 3 seconds at any time to go to the main menu.
Hold the left button for 10 seconds to perform a hard reset - this is only required in the event of a fault.
The Splitscreen will turn itself off if it does not detect movement or any button presses for 10 minutes.

Press the right button to choose which data to display.
Press the left button to get the Splitscreen ready to row. The screen will display 'READY', but it will only start when you take your first stroke. Go to the menu to cancel.
Press the left button to pause. The screen will display 'PAUSE'. If you reset the piece or set a new piece then the paused piece will be stopped and recorded to memory.

If the GPS does not have a good fix, then the status will be shown at the bottom of the menu screen.
The remaining battery charge is shown at the bottom of the menu screen.

Once in the menu, the screen will show you what pressing the left or right buttons does.
At any time, hold the left button for 3 seconds to return to the main menu.

Select this to turn the Splitscreen off.
The current rowing data will be saved so it will still be there when you turn the unit back on.
If you turn the unit off during a set piece (time or distance), the quarterly data will not be recorded - only the overall data.

Select this to reset the current rowing data.
If you have paused a piece then the data from that piece will be saved to memory and the time/distance will be reset to zero.

Select this to set a target distance for a piece.
Press the left button ("+1") to add one to the underlined digit.
Press the right button ("Next") to go to the next digit.
Hold the left button down for 3 seconds at any time to go back to the menu.
If you have entered a distance, then pressing the right button on the final digit ("Go!") will take you to the rowing screen with the distance programmed in.

Select this to set a target time for a piece.
Press the left button ("+1") to add one to the underlined digit.
Press the right button ("Next") to go to the next digit.
Hold the left button down for 3 seconds at any time to go back to the menu.
If you have entered a distance, then pressing the right button on the final digit ("Go!") will take you to the rowing screen with the distance programmed in.

Select this to view the last 7 pieces completed.
Pressing the right button selects which piece or units to view.
Pressing the left button views the selected piece.
When viewing a piece, press the left button to go back or the right button to change the data displayed (distance, time or split).
If a pre-set piece (either distance or time) was completed uninterrupted, then the quarterly interval data will be shown. i.e if you programmed 16,000 m and completed it, then the memory will show you your performance in each 4,000 m. If you programmed and completed 4 minutes then it will display your data for each 1 minute.
Hold the left button down for 3 seconds at any time to go back to the menu.

Select this to use the Splitscreen as a pitch gauge.
When in pitch gauge mode, the GPS is turned off so the battery life is increased by roughly 2-3x.
When in pitch gauge mode the 'auto off' function will go from 10 minutes to 1 hour.
As with most pitch gauges, the best performance is +/- 45 degrees of wherever you 'zero' it.

The Splitscreen only charges with a Qi compatible wireless charger.
A full charge takes about 3 hours.
It is normal for wireless charging devices to become warm during charging.
Ikea chargers are not recommended. Our testing lines up with their reviews.
If you want a simple Amazon recommendation: Anker chargers haven't missed a beat.
Wireless chargers aren't supplied with mains adapters.
