How to use a ChampionChip

The Chip should be worn as close as possible to the mats to ensure that it is read by the antennas embedded in the mats.
For running triathlon, cycling, mountain biking, cross-country skiing and in-line skating events the chip should attached to the shoelace or attached to the ankle with a strap. Loop a single lace through the square holes of the ChampionChip and pull it tightly to the shoe. When using a strap, attach the ankle strap with the chip around your ankle. Make sure you do not attach it too firmly because your ankles will swell up during the event.
For your personal chip, the best position is the lowest part of the shoelace, as close as possible to your toes. When you do not use your personal chip, use the upper part of the shoelace, close to the knot, for easy removal and return of the chip after the finish. Alternatively you can use a cable tie to attach the chip to your shoe laces, this way you can easily cut the tie at the end of the race without having to undo your shoe laces.

Please ensure that the central tube of the chip is be pointing downwards (if using the ankle strap) or in the "running direction" (if using your shoe laces or cable tie).


In cycling events the chips should be located as close to the mats as possible on the frame of the bike. Preferably the specially designed clip should be used. The chip should not be mounted on the metal of bikes, ice-skates or in-line skates directly. The central tube of the chip housing must be separated from metal by at least 7 millimetres, the use of the clip will ensure that the chip is in the correct position.
