Registration Notes
When registering your M2/slimcoach, you will need your activation code. You can not charge the slimcoach until you activate it, so after your register, leave your slimcoach plugged in until the red charging light goes out.
Most of the requested information is self-explanatory, but here is some information that may be helpful:
To determine your Body Frame type, wrap your thumb and fingers around the smallest part of your wrist:
• If your fingers overlap your thumb, then you have a SMALL Frame.
• If your fingers barely touch your thumb then you have a MEDIUM Frame.
• If your fingers do not touch your thumb, then you have a LARGE Frame.
As you set your goal,
• Weight Loss or Weight Management goals involve calories, which may be easier to understand as you get started. Lifestyle goals involve PI or Performance Index, which may be a little harder to understand before you get used to the M2.
• Weight Loss goals do not have to be for the entire amount at once. You may want to break your goal into mini-goals and go for smaller segments at a time.
Charging Your M2
Before you can use your M2/slimcoach you will need to charge it. It must be activated/registered prior to being able to charge it. Once registered, you can charge it via the USB cable on a PC or via a power adapter. In either case, leave it plugged in until the red battery light is no longer lit. You do not have to worry about over charging it.
The first time you charge your M2/slimcoach can be a little difficult. It seems that you either have to be charging it on a PC with the M2 Manager software installed or have synched it on a machine with the M2 Manager installed. If you registered the M2 on your PC, you probably installed the M2 manager as part of that process. If you registered your M2 in the club, you still need to set up your home PC (see the directions we put in your box). Once you have the M2 Manager installed on your PC, just plug the M2 into the USB cable and it will automatically synch and charge. Do NOT unplug the M2 until the synch is finished. After that, continue to leave it plugged in until the red battery light quits flashing to fully charge the slimcoach prior to unplugging. The first charge seems to take at least 2 hours.
If you do not have the M2 Manager software on your PC (Mac users and other users that don’t want to install it for whatever reason), it seems like you must synch the M2 somewhere (the club’s pc, a friend’s pc, your home pc, etc) before you can then charge it by either plugging the usb cable into any pc/mac or by plugging the usb cable into the power adapter.
The optional power adapter is available for purchase online and in the club. Just use the USB cable to plug the slimcoach into the adapter and then plug the adapter into the wall. If you are synching and reviewing your data in the club, you may prefer this option.
If you let your M2/slimcoach go too long without charging, the battery light will start to flash and the M2/slimcoach will start to beep once per minute. Make sure to get it plugged in and charging asap. If you run out of battery, you will lose any data since the last time you synch’d.
Mac & the M2
JAN 2012 UPDATE - The M2 now works with the MAC!
Travelling with your M2
If you are taking your normal laptop with you, you have no worries. If not, consider how long will you be gone and how will you keep your M2 charged.
The M2/slimcoach will hold its data for 30 days, so if you will be gone less than 30 days, you do not need to worry about synching. If you will be gone more than 30 days, you will want to figure out a way to access a PC with the M2 Manager software installed to synch up in time to save the data you have been collecting.
The easiest way to keep your M2/slimcoach charged while you are gone is to take a power adapter with you. If you are travelling overseas, you may also need a converter to plug it in. If you have access to a PC or Mac, you can also use the USB cable to charge the slimcoach.
I’ve also been told that the iphone home charger will charge the M2/slimcoach.
