The Hard-Reset process for your Newton depends on its date of manufacture:
1) Newtons manufactured 2012-Jan 2015:
Simultaneously press-hold the left,
bottom, right, and center buttons. The screen goes blank. Release the buttons
and the Newton will reboot.
2) Newtons manufactured Feb 2015 or after
: Press-hold the center button for 8
seconds. The screen goes blank. Release the center button to reboot.
If you’re not sure when your Newton was manufactured, try 1). If that doesn’t work then
try 2). One or the other will reset your Newton!
☺
NOTE
: AFTER A HARD RESET ALL DATA IS PRESERVED EXCEPT DATE AND TIME, WHICH
ARE RESET AUTOMATICALLY BY CONNECTING THE NEWTON TO ISAAC.
FINE-TUNING THE NEWTON WIND SENSOR
The wind sensor is calibrated at the factory and generally does not need recalibration.
However, you can check the wind sensor calibration and correct its setting if desired. This
is advisable if you are using the Newton for advanced measurements such as CdA or Coast
Down or if you ride both in very cold and very hot conditions.
Here is what to do:
1)
Let your Newton acclimate to the temperature where you will be riding
2)
CRITICAL
: find a place where there is absolutely no wind blowing into the wind
port of your Newton, or cup your hand over the wind port so that wind is blocked
3)
Click on the bottom arrow twice until “wind” is shown in the top window:
4)
While on the wind screen,
PRESS-HOLD THE UP ARROW
, until the Cal Wind
screen appears:
5)
After seeing this screen, release the center button.
6)
Let the number at the top of the screen stabilize for 5 seconds
. It should
drift towards zero after a few seconds.
7)
Calibration is fine if the number is between -1.5 to + 1.5
8)
To re-calibrate, click the center button.
9)
The number in the top window will drift towards zero and after a few seconds the
Newton will return automatically to the main screen
CRITICAL
: MAKE SURE NO WIND IS BLOWING ON THE WIND PORT WHEN THE “CAL
WIND” CALIBRATION IS PERFORMED.
