To set up your VZ Sensor for the first time, remove it from its packaging and follow the instructions in the printed manual that came with it (which you can also find here in PDF format). Please make special note of the following:

  • Your bike must be a stable, stationary exercise bike. Because moving in VirZOOM games feels so realistic, players frequently lean into turns without realizing it. For safety reasons, VZ Sensor should not be used on a road bike mounted on a trainer, as these are significantly less stable while leaning.
  • The LED light only flashes each time you "wake up" VZ Sensor by rotating it 90 degrees per second, indicating that it has power and is seeking a Bluetooth connection. Then the light stops flashing to conserve energy. When you are not using VZ Sensor, it enters "sleep mode" to conserve even more energy, and the light remains off.

  • 2 batteries & 2 elastic bands come with your VZ Sensor, but only one of each is needed at a time. The others are extras in case you need them later.

Once you finish getting VZ Sensor affixed to your bike, it's ready to use with VirZOOM games! If you haven't yet installed VirZOOM Arcade, our free collection of exercise games, check out our Setup Guide for instructions specific to your VR platform.
