You can also customize your computer by purchasing additional Bontrager NODE sensors or a power sensing system of your choice from your Bontrager dealer.

  • Page 8: Pairing Procedure/Force Pair

    Before Your First Ride Pairing (Pair) Procedure Before the NODE can display any data, it must identify each radio signal sent by the sensors (Figure 6). This process, which takes about one minute, is called “Pairing” (Pair). After the NODE creates a Pair, it remembers the signals, so normally this only occurs once (during the initial set up).

  • Page 9: Connecting Procedure/Force Connect

    Connecting (Connect) Procedure Each time you switch on the NODE, it automatically tries to Connect (lock on) to the signals it remembers from the Pairing procedure. Just like during Pairing, for the NODE to Connect to signals you must activate the sensors (make them send a signal).
  • Page 10 Switching Sensors to OFF or ON Hold for three seconds to go to Setting mode. When BIKES appears, scroll to SENS. Press (3 sec) To change Cadence to ON or OFF, press To select, press (or) To change Power to ON or OFF, press To select, press (or)

  • Page 19 Understanding Your NODE’s Functions SPEED Speed is a measurement of how fast your bike is moving. Features of Speed Function In Ride mode, speed always displays (Figure 10). The NODE can also display your current (CUR), average (AVG), and maximum (MAX) speed. The NODE can do this for two bicycles, bike1 and bike2.
  • Page 20 CADENCE (CAD) Cadence is how fast you are pedaling, counted as the number of complete revolutions per minute (RPM) of the crankset. Features of Cadence Function When displaying the cadence function, the lower section of the screen displays CAD (Figure 11). The NODE can display Current (CUR), Average (AVG), and Maximum (MAX) cadence.
  • Page 21 The NODE can receive signals from a variety of power meters (sensors) that work with the ANT+ protocol. However, Bontrager does not make a power meter. The sensor must be switched to ON and send a signal (spin the crank).
  • Page 22 Calibrating Power To get the most accurate data, you should calibrate the power function before every ride. In Ride Mode, scroll to PWR. Press CALIB? (Calibrate?) appears. To calibrate, press As the NODE calibrates, the 0 (zero) of speed fl ashes each segment in a circular pattern.
  • Page 23 HEART RATE (HR) Heart rate is a measurement of the number of times your heart beats in a minute. Features of Heart Rate Function If heart rate data is sent to the NODE, the lower section of the screen displays HR (Figure 13).
  • Page 24 Viewing Heart Rate CUR AVG MAX In Ride Mode, scroll to HR. Scroll CUR changes to AVG, which changes to MAX. If you have set the heart rate zones, a number will display beside the CUR heart rate. This number is the current heart rate zone.

  • Page 36 To see the gain (+) or loss (–) in Trip or Total, scroll to that feature and toggle When % appears, toggle to see current (CUR) and maximum (MAX). Setting Current Altitude The altimeter measures your altitude based on air pressure and temperature. Air pressure changes with the weather, so for the best accuracy you should set the current altitude before your fi rst use and again whenever you are near a point of reference of known altitude.
