You can check your MyLaps ProChip FLEX subscription status in 3 ways. This is done with MyLaps and is not linked to your BMXNZ Portal.
1. Place the transponder on a flat surface for 10 seconds, then pick up the transponder and shake for 10 seconds. You will see 2 blinks, the first blink indicates the subscription status. Red means Inactive and Green means the transponder is Active. The second blink indicates battery status: Red means Low Battery and Green means the battery is Ok. DO NOT TRY TO CHARGE YOUR TRANSPONDER as they cannot be re-charged!!!
2. You can also start MYLAPS Connect software and insert the ProChip FLEX transponder in your computer.
Under the Firmware version you can see the status of your subscription. Download software here: MYLAPS Connect software for Mac or Windows.
3. If you log in on <account.mylaps.com> with your e-mail address and password.
