PART ONE: FAST START SETUP
GETTING YOUR NEWTON GOING IS FAST AND EASY. HERE’S WHAT TO DO:
1)
Charge your Newton’s battery
2)
Attach the Newton mount to your bicycle
3)
Attach the speed/cadence sensor to your bike (or pair your Newton to your existing
ANT+ Speed/Cadence Sensor; see page 16 for instructions)
4)
Ride your bike for 5 minutes, to allow the Newton to self-calibrate for good accuracy
5)
After your ride, use ISAAC software to fine-tune your Newton for better/best
accuracy
THAT’S IT!!!
Details on each step follow.
1. CHARGE YOUR NEWTON’S BATTERY
Your Newton uses a rechargeable battery. The battery is permanently installed in the case
and cannot be removed.
Before using your Newton for the first time,
make sure to fully charge your
battery
. Attach the USB cable to the USB connector located on the bottom of the Newton
case, then plug in the USB connector to your computer port, or to any USB power source.
If your Newton screen is blank it is “sleeping”. Awaken the Newton by clicking any button.
To check battery charge, click the left arrow of the Newton one time. While charging, the
middle window shows “batt%” and the bottom window will flash “chrg” (charging), followed
by the percentage charge of your battery.
When your Newton is fully charged the bottom
window will show “100” (100%) and the flashing will stop.
It takes about 2 hours to charge your battery the first time. After that, recharging is much
faster.
NEWTON BATTERY RIDE TIME
Your Newton battery provides about 20 hours of continuous ride time between recharges,
in cold weather or warm.
After the first full charge, each time you plug your Newton into your computer, or any USB
charger device, the Newton battery will recharge very quickly.
You can check the percentage of battery energy remaining in your Newton by clicking the
left arrow one time to find “batt %”. The amount of battery charge in your Newton is
shown in %. Wait a few seconds for the battery charge indication to stabilize.
TIP:
WHILE IN THE “BATT %” SCREEN, PRESS-HOLD THE CENTER BUTTON TO TURN THE
NEWTON OFF.
TIP:
DURING THE WINTER MONTHS AND THE “OFF” SEASON, RECHARGE YOUR NEWTON
ONCE EVERY TWO WEEKS. THIS WILL EXTEND ITS BATTERY LIFE .
Click the center button to return the Newton to the main screen.
