No connection
If there is no connection, the device is displayed with a red cross. Make
sure the USB cable is properly connected and the adaptor switch is on.
If the connection does not work, it may be that the driver is not installed
properly. Go to the Tacx website and check the Frequently Asked
Questions about problems with the USB connection and the installation
of the driver.
Linking Bushido/Vortex
When starting up the Tacx Trainer software, the software automatically
searches for the Bushido and Vortex ergotrainer, if the ANT+ stick is in
the computer. It is also possible, using the menu at the right, to
manually link the connected devices to the PC. Make sure that the
ANT+ USB stick is plugged firmly into the computer and that there are
no interfering obstacles.

BlackTrack
1. It will connect automatically when the batteries have been put in the BlackTrack and by
steering to the left.

When you have used the trainer before, the software will find the trainer automatically the next time,
after you have plugged the brake into the power grid and after pressing on the interface computer.
When the BlackTrack is in sleeping mode, you have to turn the wheel to the left as far as possible. A
green light will then start to blink.
