Troubleshooting:

Check batteries and all plug connections.
2.
Speed seems inaccurate:
Display possibly set to wrong unit of measurement. See
“Change Between Kilometers and Miles” above.
3.
Watts seem inaccurate:
Go to Service Mode menu and select Calibration. Do the
calibration procedure. Ensure brake is completely up (turned all the way to the left)
when calibrated.(
Keep in mind there is some variability between bikes, and between
rider perception and correct wattage values.)
4.
RPM will not display:
Ensure RPM sensor is close enough to the flywheel so it can detect
the magnet in the flywheel. Ensure plug is secure in back of console.
5.
Watts will not display:
Ensure plug is secure in back of console. Ensure RPM sensor is
working – Watts will not display if RPMs are not picked up.
6.
Console display reads “Using Prior Cal”
: The bike is recognizing the prior calibration. To
begin again, hold the END button for 3-5 seconds and begin the set up process again.
7.
Heart Rate not picking up –
HRM device must be on prior to turning on the console.
Console will only look for HRM signal approximately 30 seconds, after that it will cease
looking. To reconnect you must restart the console and begin a new ride.
