MyLaps TR2 Subscription Guide: Activation & Renewal

My Store Admin

This guide covers MyLaps TR2 subscription activation, renewal and expiry. For model selection rather than account and activation help, use Which MyLaps Transponder Do I Need?.

Does my TR2 need a subscription?

Subscription-based TR2 transponders need an active subscription to operate at timed events. The period must be activated or synchronised to the physical transponder, not simply purchased in your account. Direct Power describes the power supply, not an exemption from activation.

TR2 Go is the no-recurring-subscription option. Check the exact product and entitlement registered to your transponder. Initial registration and warranty are separate from whether a recurring subscription is needed.

Activate a rechargeable TR2 in Speedhive

  1. Download Speedhive and sign in to your MyLaps account, or create an account.
  2. Enable Bluetooth and allow the permissions requested for connecting to your transponder.
  3. Go to Profile, choose Register transponder and select the appropriate transponder type.
  4. Place the rechargeable TR2 in a powered TR2 cradle.
  5. Select the transponder number shown in the app and complete registration.
  6. Check for confirmation that the transponder is activated. Confirm with your timekeeper that the correct transponder number is assigned to your entry before racing.

For rechargeable-unit setup, see the TR2 charging cradle and appropriate USB cable.

Activate a TR2 Direct Power transponder

The Direct Power unit stays installed in the vehicle and needs a correctly installed switchable 12V supply. Follow the Speedhive registration process, switching the vehicle supply on and off as directed by MyLaps to enter Bluetooth mode. The manufacturer describes a two-minute Bluetooth connection window. Select the transponder in the app and complete registration and activation.

Use the TR2 Direct Power manual and TR2 installation guide for installation details.

Renew a TR2 subscription

  1. Sign in to Speedhive and select your registered transponder under Profile.
  2. Check the expiry and available renewal choices. MyLaps lists one-, two- and five-year renewal periods; use the choices currently offered for your unit.
  3. Select a period and complete payment.
  4. Synchronise the purchased subscription to the transponder. Payment alone does not complete this step.

Synchronise after renewal

Enable Bluetooth and keep your phone within two metres of the transponder. Place a rechargeable TR2 in a powered cradle. For Direct Power, switch the vehicle supply on and off as directed to enable Bluetooth mode, leaving the unit installed.

Select the transponder in Speedhive and let synchronisation finish. Check the confirmation and updated subscription status before the event.

What happens when a subscription expires?

An expired subscription-based TR2 will not function for timed racing until renewed and activated on the unit. Check expiry before your next meeting. If the status has not updated after payment, check account registration, power, Bluetooth and synchronisation before contacting support.

Subscription and warranty are different

MyLaps describes warranty cover for eligible subscription transponders while the subscription is active, subject to its conditions and normal-use requirements. Go transponders have a standard two-year warranty. This is not a promise that every failure, loss or kind of damage is covered, or that renewal automatically restores every historical warranty entitlement. Ask us about the applicable terms for your unit.
