Just quick questions before first ride

Post by ScottChapman »

Got my PowerPod. Here's what I've done so far

Already on current firmware
Charged!
Used Isaac to do setup (better accuracy)
I paired with my speed sensor
I paired it with my Wahoo Elemnt.

So, now it shows as solid yellow. Which seems like it wants me to do a calibration ride... Thought that was only necessary for best accuracy (which I'll do sometime).

Also, how do I turn it off??

1) You'll need to ride for 5 minutes, while PP self-calibrates. Check illustrated instructions for more details.

If you do a "Best Accuracy" calibration later-on, you'll need to ride for 10 minutes.

2) PP turns itself off after about 20 minutes of inactivity. You don't have to do anything.

Thanks John. Anything special for the 5 minute ride? Will it just start doing it when I ride? Or do I need to interact with it (press the button to start)?

Turn the device on; light will be solid yellow. Just start riding--light will flash yellow and watts will climb from 0 to 100. Once they reach 100, light will go out and you're all set!
