Difficulty pairing to sensors
Posted: Fri Feb 19, 2010 11:49 pm
Hi all,
For my last two rides my iAero has been having problems pairing to the speed, cadence and HR sensors. This morning I put the iAero on the mount, turned it on, Batt test good, and wind cal performed as usual. However, it then wouldn't pick up the sensors. On my 20 min ride to my meeting point I kept trying to scan the sensors in the setup mode...no joy. When I got to my meeting point I did a hard reset and rescan & was ok for the rest of the ride until a coffee stop. When i started off again the unit again wouldn't automatically pick up the sensors but ok when rescanned. About 30 min later I noticed that contact was lost again. Rescanned while riding and ok again until i got home. I had a similar scenario on my previous ride.
Sometimes when i try to rescan in setup mode pressing the red button has no effect, i.e. normally if you select "yes" and press the centre button then the "0" flashes and the number changes as sensors are found. However, I sometimes find the "0" doesn't flash and pressing the centre button has no effect.
Also three rides ago I put in a new battery and got "lo batt" readings, dimming screen and eventually turned off. Stopped riding and opened the battery compartment, fiddled with the battery and put the cover back on, Ride ok after that.
After the last 2 rides had another look at the battery and noticed that the cover seems significantly looser than it used to be. One side of it is ca. 0.5-1.0 mm proud of the actual iAero. The opposite side is flush. If you push on the proud side it can be moved to the flush position (as seen on the opposite side). The cover is on correctly, i.e. not somehow crossthreaded. Could this be causing the intermitant pairing problem?
I have had some pairing issues in the past month or so but have ignored them as they were sorted by scanning in setup mode.
Just put the unit back on the mount and restarted, ok this time. Riding again tomorrow so will update.
I have the latest firmware (4.18) and iAero battery new. Other batteries less than 1 month. Wireless mount secure.
Cheers, Chris
