NEWTON OUT AND BACK CALIBRATION RIDE:
1)
Make sure you have completed STEP 1 above to set your Newton to “Best
Accuracy”. Best Accuracy enables the out-and-back calibration ride.
2)
After selecting the “Best Accuracy” button in ISAAC, the center window of the
Newton will start to flash “do Cal”, indicating that your Newton is now configured for
an out-and-back calibration ride (Cal Ride).
3)
Pick a quiet, low-traffic place to do a
solo
(no drafting allowed) Cal Ride. The road
can be flat or hilly; it makes no difference.
4)
Make sure your DFPM is operating and that it has been calibrated properly
5)
Attach your Newton to its mount, then click any button to wake up the Newton.
Speed is shown in the top window. You’ll see “----W” and “do Cal” alternate in the
center window, indicating that your Newton is set for a Cal Ride.
6)
Start riding
.
IMPORTANT: DURING YOUR CAL RIDE, STAY IN YOUR “NORMAL”
RIDE POSITION YOU USE MOST OFTEN (FOR EXAMPLE, “HOODS” POSITION ON
YOUR ROAD BIKE, OR “TIME TRIAL” POSITION ON YOUR TT BIKE).
7)
After 8 seconds of riding the Newton screen changes. “Cal” appears in the middle
window, and “Start” flashes in the bottom window.
8)
If you want to keep riding and start your Cal Ride at a different place from your
current location, that’s OK! Just keep riding to your desired starting point; while
you ride to it the “Cal Start” message will continue to flash.
9)
When you are ready to begin the Cal Ride,
click the center button
to start the Cal
Ride. Remember:
DURING YOUR CALIBRATION RIDE, STAY IN THE RIDE POSITION
YOU USE MOST OFTEN (FOR EXAMPLE “HOODS” ON YOUR ROAD BIKE, OR “TIME
TRIAL” ON YOUR TT BIKE)
10)
The top window shows bike speed, the center window alternates between “Cal” and
distance traveled, and the progress bar fills as you ride.
11)
During the Cal Ride you can bike at a leisurely pace, and it’s OK to stop if needed.
Your Cal Ride will be unaffected.
12)
Ride for five minutes, until
“go bac(k), turn 180 degrees”
flashes
.
