Using OVR Jump
Setup
Set up the sender and receiver at least 4 feet apart. The OVR Jump releases lasers from the sender to the receiver, creating a laser barrier. When both units are on and positioned correctly, the receiver's LEDs will light up green, indicating the signal is received. When stepping through the lasers, the LEDs turn red, signifying the receiver is blocked.

Stance
It is recommended to stand forward and offset, with one foot directly blocking the receiver. A wide, centered stance may cause the lasers to be missed.
Most Accurate: One foot directly blocking the lasers.
Okay: A wide stance may not block lasers.
Least Accurate: Most likely to be inaccurate.
Modes
Regular Mode
Use for testing vertical jump height. The athlete must take off from and land within the laser area. Upon landing, the display shows the jump height in inches.
Diagram shows two vertical arrows indicating vertical movement.
RSI Mode
Use for dropping into the laser area, rebounding with a jump, and landing back in the area. This can be performed with consecutive jumps. Upon landing, the display shows jump height, ground contact time, and reactive strength index (RSI).
Diagram shows vertical arrows with a curved arrow indicating a rebound action.
GCT Mode
Use for measuring ground contact time. Set up the lasers in the appropriate area, allowing the athlete to quickly contact the ground during jumps and drills. Upon leaving the laser area, the display shows the ground contact time (GCT).
Diagram shows angled arrows indicating contact with the ground.

Main Screen Details
The main screen displays various metrics depending on the selected mode. Key elements include:
- 1 Jump Height: Measured vertical displacement.
- 2 RSI (Reactive Strength Index): Calculated performance metric.
- 3 GCT (Ground Contact Time): Time spent in contact with the ground.
- 4 Current Jump: The most recent jump measurement.
- 5 Total Jumps: The cumulative number of jumps recorded.
- 6 Rest Timer: Countdown timer for rest periods between jumps.
- 7 Tether Mode (if active): Indicates if tether mode is enabled.
- 8 Tether Channel (if active): Displays the active tether channel.
Visuals show example displays for Regular, RSI, and GCT modes with numbered callouts for each metric.
Tether Mode
Tether mode allows connecting up to 5 OVR Jump units side-by-side to extend the laser area, ensuring athletes do not land outside the measurement zone.
Tethering OVR Jump's Together
Step 1: Turn on two OVR Jump receivers and navigate to the settings.
Step 2 (Home): Designate the first device as the “home” unit (primary device).
- Change the “Tether” setting to “Home” and note the channel.
- Exit settings; the device will reset in home mode.
Example of Tether Settings screen showing 'Tether: Home' and 'Channel: 1'.
Example of the main view with tether icons.
Step 3 (Link): Designate the second device as the “link” unit (secondary device).
- Change the “Tether” setting to “Link” and use the same channel as the home unit.
- Exit settings; the device will reset in link mode.
Example of Tether Settings screen showing 'Tether: Link' and 'Channel: 1'.
Example of the main link view with tether icons and a checkmark.
Tether Link Screen Peripherals
- Bottom Left Corner: Tether Channel (1-10).
- Bottom Right Corner: Connection Status.
Step 4: Connect the home and link units side-by-side using the hidden magnets. Set up the sender to point lasers into both receivers. This effectively doubles (or triples) the laser barrier width. Repeat Step 3 for additional units.
Tether Notes:
- To tether subsequent receivers, complete Step 3 with additional receivers.
- Only one sender should be used; place it further away for tethered setups.
- For multiple tethered setups in a gym, ensure unique channels for each setup.
- Only the home unit can connect to the app and control settings.
- The linked unit will display a checkmark or X in the bottom right corner to confirm its connection status to a home device.

Do you need the app to use the device? | No, OVR Jump is a standalone unit that provides all your rep data from the onboard display. The app offers extended benefits but is not required for use. |
How accurate is OVR Jump? | OVR Jump reads the lasers 1000 times per second to ensure accuracy and consistency. |
Is there a jump limit? | Once 100 jumps are performed, the device resets the onboard data and continues recording jumps from zero. |
What is the minimum jump height? | The minimum jump height is 6 inches. |
How does OVR Jump work? | OVR Jump uses invisible lasers to detect when an athlete is on the ground or in the air, providing a consistent method for measuring jump height. |
Is OVR Connect required to tether receivers together? | No, OVR Jump can tether together without the app, ensuring a fast and stable connection. |
How many tethering channels are there? | Tether mode has 10 channels to allow multiple sets of receivers to work in the same area. |
