For precise readings, all settings must be as accurate as possible. Chain length and weight are directly proportionate to power value. If there is 1% error, the power value will also have 1% error.

There is no need to re-enter chain length and weight if links are removed. The system uses chain density (weight/length). Removing links from the chain does not affect density.

4.Power TEACH?:

If your sensor is already taught, select STOP.

If your sensor has not been taught, see Using a New Accessory (page 26) for more information on teaching.

Altitude Settings

Calibrate the altimeter to ensure accurate measurement.

Manual calibration: Set the reference altitude whenever a reliable reference, such as a peak or a topographic map, is available or you are at the sea level.

Automatic calibration: By using the automatic altitude calibration, you can adjust the starting elevation to be always the same in the beginning of the training session. Calibrate the elevation manually and turn the automatic calibration on. From now on, this elevation will be always used as the base elevation in the beginning of the training session if automatic altitude calibration is in use. Also, if the automatic calibration is turned on and you calibrate the cycling computer manually, the new value will be used as a new starting elevation for automatic calibration.

Select automatic calibration if you always train in the same environment to ensure correct altitude values.
