Training

Pedal-Based Power

Vector measures pedal-based power.
Vector measures the force you apply a few hundred times every
second. Vector also measures your cadence or rotational
pedaling speed. By measuring the force, the direction of force,
the rotation of the crank arm, and time, Vector can determine
power (watts). Because Vector independently measures left and
right leg power, it reports your left-right power balance.

Maintenance Tips

•
Some bike tools may scratch the finish of Vector
components.
Use wax paper or a towel between the tool and the
hardware.
• After any bike adjustments, rotate the crank arm to check for
clearance.
• Calibrate Vector at the start of every ride
• Keep Vector components clean.
• When moving Vector to another bike, clean the threads and
surfaces thoroughly.
• Go to www.garmin.com/vectorowner
and information.
