USING THE NEWTON ON YOUR BIKE RIDES
STARTING A BIKE RIDE (Trip)
Each time you start a new ride (trip) with the Newton, follow these simple steps:
1)
Attach your Newton to your mount
2)
Click the center button of your Newton to awaken it
3)
OPTIONAL: check/set elevation
4)
Start riding; a bullseye appears when your Newton receives signals from the
speed/cadence sensor
The Newton automatically begins recording data whenever it detects that the bike is
moving.
When riding your ride the Newton records your cycling information at one second intervals
(NOTE: PowerStroke data is recorded 16 times per second; see Appendix 1, page 43). The
Newton saves your ride data to its internal memory chip.
When pausing during a ride (for example, at a stop light or during rest break), the
Newton’s ride recording pauses automatically, then resumes automatically when you begin
to move.
ENDING A TRIP (TRIP RESET)
When you’re finished riding, you can end the ride file with a
Trip Reset
:
1)
press-hold the center button until “Trip” appears, and “reset” flashes
2)
To complete the trip reset, you must click the center button again
.
3)
If you do not confirm the trip reset, after a few seconds “not reset” is shown. Clear
this message by clicking the center button
TIP:
YOU CAN DO A TRIP RESET ANY TIME, EVEN WHILE RIDING. YOUR RIDE DATA
WILL BE SAVED AND CAN BE DOWNLOADED LATER INTO ISAAC.
TIP:
IF YOUR NEWTON SLEEPS FOR 4 HOURS, IT AUTOMATICALLY DOES A TRIP RESET
4) A “Trip Reset” starts a new ride file and resets the Newton screens with zero
readings of:
•
Trip odometer
•
Trip time
•
Lap Timer and lap stats
•
Instantaneous, average and maximum:
Power
kilojoules
