moving metallic disc to gradually and uniformly adjust resistan-
ce. This technology allows for very accurate changes in slope,
even when small, by taking into account the inertia experien-
ced when riding on the road. Both increases and decreases in
resistance adjustment are thereby gradual. This system also
ensures that pedals will not lock-up, which could have occured
at exceedingly high power outputs.

POWER MEASUREMENT

Direto features an integrated power measurement system. This
patented system measures with great accuracy the power de-
veloped by the cyclist during training.
Measured power accuracy: ± 2,5%.

DATA TRANSMISSION PROTOCOLS

Direto uses two different transmission protocols to interact and
send data to software / app / device.
Please contact the app / software / device manufacturer to ve-
rify compatibility with one or more of these protocols.
ANT+™
"ANT+™ FE-C" protocol: this protocol allows the software /
app / device to receive training data and adjust hometrainer
resistance. This protocol permits total interaction with the ho-
metrainer.
"ANT+™ Speed&Cadence" protocol*: this protocol transmits
hometrainer speed and cadence data. Although more common
than the ANT+™ FE-C, it does not allow interaction and the
app/software/device.
"ANT+™ Power" protocol: this protocol transmits the cyclist's
power output data. Also much more common than the ANT+™
FE-C, but this protocol does not allow interaction between the
hometrainer and the app/software/device.
With the exception of smartphones that feature integrated
ANT+™ connectivity, a USB dongle is necessary to connect
via the ANT+™ protocol.
An ANT+™ flash drive is required when using Android, PC
Windows and Mac devices. It's available for purchase on the
www.shopelite-it.com website or via other channels – it's
required to connect the device to the hometrainer via the
ANT+™ protocol.
An OTG adapter cable is required for Android devices, while iOS
devices require a specific flash drive (not included) compatible
with the 30-pin iOS connector.
A complete list of ANT+™ compatible devices is available at:

BLUETOOTH SMART
"Fitness Machine - Indoor Bike service" protocol. This protocol
sends training data to compatible software / app / device and
adjusts resistance on the hometrainer. This protocol offers total
interaction with the hometrainer.
"Speed&Cadence Service" protocol*: this protocol transmits
hometrainer speed and cadence data, but does not allow in-
teraction between software / app / device and the hometrainer.
"Power Service" protocol: this protocol transmits the cyclist's
power output data, but will it also not allow interaction between
software / app / device and the hometrainer.
In most cases, smartphones and tablets already feature Blueto-
oth Smart connectivity, so there is no need for additional com-
ponents to communicate with the Direto. However, the more
outdated devices might not be compatible. Please consult your
app provider to make sure that it's Bluetooth Smart compatible.
NOTE: When the hometrainer is connected to the device by a
Bluetooth Smart protocol, it cannot be connected to additional
BLE devices.
This is a restriction of the Bluetooth Smart protocol itself.
* Warning: should the software / app / device employ the
Speed&Cadence protocol to detect speed, you must set a whe -
el circumference value that equals the actual wheel value divi -
ded by 12,1. For instance, if wheel circumference is 2095mm,
the value to input as circumference is 2095 / 12,1 = 173mm.

USING THE DIRETO WITH THE

SOFTWARE / APP / DEVICE
We suggest using the My E-Training software/app, available on
iOS, Android, Windows and Mac OS.
My E-Training is a complete system with several training mo-
des, including videos, configurable software, Google Maps ra-
ces, Internet competitions and much more.
It's possible to use third-party software that is compatible with
the hometrainer communications protocol/standards. There
are several software/apps/devices currently on the market that
can connect to the Direto.
Please refer to the instructions for the specific software/app/
device for a proper connection to the hometrainer.
Before beginning the connection procedure with any app, make
sure that the hometrainer is powered up and is not on the
energy saver mode. The supplied hometrainer charger must be
connected to a power source.
The hometrainer motherboard features LED lights indicating
the current hometrainer status. Please check the "Status LED
lights" paragraph for an in-depth description.

LED LIGHTS

Direto transmits speed, cadence and power data via the
ANT+™ and Bluetooth Smart protocols.
There are 3 LED lights on the motherboard, displaying power
supply status, motherboard status and the protocol being used.
The LED lights come in 3 colors with the following meanings:
Red = status of hometrainer power supply
