Knowledge Base

We use a specific very high bond industrial tape. It’s very important that you follow the instructions, when mounting the tag to your own disc. In particular, it is critical that you sandpaper the surface of the disc, and that you wait at least 24h to achieve the ultimate bond strength with the tape.

The package includes the fixing tape, piece of sandpaper, a wet wipe to clean the surface of the disc, and our special made tool to centralize the tag exactly into the middle of the disc. Follow closely the instructions, and you will achieve the best user experience.

Adding the tag has the same impact as adding an LED light for throwing in the dark. It makes the disc more unstable. Therefore, we recommend that you select a stable or a slightly over-stable disc. We have tested many different discs and selected the ones which are now on sales because they had the best flight with the tag.

No, you don’t. The tag is prepared to be charged with standard wireless chargers. We have tested many different chargers and few steps below is a list of verified chargers, as well as a list of non-working chargers.

For the most comfortable charging experience, consider
following aspects:

• Make sure that your charger does not have magnets on it (e.g. Apple MagSafe). Our tag is activated and rebooted with magnet so the chargers with magnets will create a rebooting loop.
• Charge the tag on top of the wireless charger, to have a contact with the tag and the wireless charger as well as to see the led lights properly.
• If your wireless charger is very thin, place something underneath it to lift a it a bit from the table surface. This way you may place the tag with disc properly on top of the wireless charger.
• Make sure that the tag is positioned in the middle of the charger. Charging coils of the tag and the charger must be aligned.

When the tag is placed into a wireless charger, the LED will have four operating modes:

• Blinking RED - Battery voltage is low.
• Blinking YELLOW - Battery voltage is on a medium level.
• Blinking GREEN - Battery is almost fully charged.
• Steady GREEN - Battery is fully charged and a notification will be sent in the application.

The battery percentage value will not be shown during the charging. If you want to follow the status of the charging, look at the battery charge status icon in the application. The color of the icon will turn to green, when the battery is fully charged.

No, there's no difference. The required charging current of the battery is very small and the electronics inside of the tag will adjust it automatically.

Every GameProofer™ tag is delivered with a branded magnet, which is used to turn on, activate, and reboot the tag. So just hover the magnet on top of the tag, and it blink a short blue light and will turn on. Tag is turned off from the application.

In a nutshell, the practical operation is following:

1. Turn ON the tag by hovering a magnet on top of it. And we mean on top of the GameProofer logo in the tag, which is actually located underneath (bottom surface of) the disc.
2. Make sure the tag is connected to the Application. If not, pair the tag in the App and name it.
3. Select the Throwing mode, either FIELD (default) or RANGE (see more details in the following bullet).
4. If using FIELD mode, wait until you have the GPS connection before throwing.
5. Throw the disc. The trigger for a throw to be recorded is SPIN value of >300RPM.
6. Keep the mobile device with you, and the Application open and running when walking to the disc !! If the Bluetooth connection in between the tag and the mobile device has been interrupted after/during the throw, it will be automatically restored, when you walk towards the tag.
7. When the disc has landed, the LED of the tag will start blinking GREEN after the data has been processed and the results has been transferred to the mobile device. Wait this green blinking LED, or receiving the results to your mobile device, before picking up the disc.
8. New throw will reboot (empty) the flash memory of the tag. So if you have not received/transferred the data of the previous throw, before throwing again, the data will be lost.
9. Repeat the points 5-8.
10. When you stop throwing, turn OFF the tag. This is done in the Application by selecting "My Discs" view, then clicking the particular tag/disc, and selecting "Power off" from the opening menu.

FIELD mode is used, when throwing long(er) shots in the field. RANGE mode is used, when throwing into the net, inside or outside. The main difference is between these two is the utilisation of the GPS sensor.

When throwing in the FIELD mode, GPS sensor is enabled and used to measure the Distance of the throw, and the Flight Speed of the disc. See more details in the following bullet.

When throwing in the RANGE mode, GPS sensor is disabled and the Distance from the release point to the net should be set by the user in the App, and then the Flight speed is calculated by utilising this distance and the data from the sensors.

NOTE: The GPS sensor is by far the highest energy consumer in the tag. When throwing in the FIELD mode, the battery of the tag will last 1,5-3 hours, depending on your geo-location and the access to the sky (visibility of satellites to the tag).

When using the tag in the FIELD mode, GPS sensor is enabled. Before throwing the disc, you must ensure that the tag has a good connection to the satellites.

When the tag is turned ON, make sure it has clear "visibility" to the sky. Please be patient and wait 2-3-4 minutes, depending on the location, that the tag gets connection to satellites (GPS fix). GPS icon will change to "active", and when you open "My Discs" and click the active disc, you will see values after GPS text in the top right corner of the menu. There are three values and the one in the middle is the accuracy of the GPS in centimetres. The lower the value, the more accurate measurements. Anything below 100 (1m/3ft) is a good accuracy.

After the first fix (so called cold start), the connection to satellites will be faster in the following throws.

Very sharp hit might bend the disc so much that the tag will pop out the disc. This might happen for example if you’re hitting a hard object (rock, wall, etc.) with the disc. In such cases, check that the enclosure of the tag is unbroken, and if the tape is still clean, you can follow the mounting instructions to get the tag re-mounted. If the tape is dirty, replace it and re-mount the tag to the disc. New tapes can be ordered from GameProofer™ web store.

When you throw the disc to the net, you must select the “RANGE mode” in the application. User sets the distance from the release point to the net (e.g. 6m/20ft) in the application. Algorithms and sensors will then take care of the rest. When throwing outside, GPS sensor will report the highest speed that it’s able to measure after the release.

Based on our analytics and high-speed camera footages, there is a lot of disturbances on the disc during the first tens of milliseconds after the release. To achieve the best possible accuracy with certain parameters, we want the flight of the disc to stabilize during the throw. You can throw GameProofer™ also from a shorter distance, but then the data accuracy might suffer a bit and you might not get all the metrics from your throw.

Yes you can. If you go to ”Your profile” and select ”Settings” from the top right corner. Second option from the top is ”Measurements”, where you can select the units either in metric or in imperial (Standard US).
