Mounting your phone

Your phone should be mounted securely to the craft you are paddling. Phones do not float, we have tested this theory out thoroughly!

You'll also need a water proof case, ebay is a good source of these, people generally opt for either a bomb proof one that will last forever, or a collection of cheap ones that will be replaced more often.

With the advent of waterproof phones, its now very practical to mount your phone properly, just like an erg display:

Next, make sure the mounting mode in the app settings matches your mounting method:

1 Rowing mounting mode, you've mounted your phone so as a rower you can see its screen, just like an erg display, with the back of the phone facing towards the back of the boat:

 rowing@2x

2. Cox mounting mode, you've mounted your phone so as a Coxwain, you can see its screen, the back of the phone faces to the front of the boat.

cox-mode

3. Traditional/flat mode, you've mounted your phone on a flat surface somewhere in your boat. Maybe you dont want the distraction of a screen, or you need it safe and sound inside a bulk head. In this mode, the phone should lie flat as you would place it on a table, with the ear/speaker end of the phone facing towards the front of the boat. The screen will still display data in landscape format.

Be aware that on hot days, your phone may get too hot. Direct sunlight will make this happen much quicker as will some phone cases with large gaps around the phone.

If this happens often, try mounting the phone in a shadier spot in your boat. Chat with us if you need help!
