CALIBRATE KÉO POWER BEFORE STARTING A TRAINING SESSION
To calibrate Kéo power:
1. Wake up the transmitters by rotating the cranks.
2. In M450 time mode, press START to enter pre-training mode, and then choose one of the cycling
sport profiles.
3. Accuracy of power changed. Recalibrate? is displayed on your M450. Choose Yes to start
calibration.
4. Keep the bike upright and cranks in place until calibration is completed. The calibration takes a
couple of seconds.
5. When the calibration is complete a green LED will blink on the transmitters, and you can start your
session.
To ensure the calibration is done properly:
•
Do not put any weight on the pedals during calibration.
•
Do not interrupt the calibration.
When the calibration is complete a green LED will blink on the transmitters, and you can start your
session.
The temperature of your training environment affects calibration accuracy. If you're going to train
outdoors, for example, take your bike outdoors half an hour before doing the calibration. This way your
bike's temperature is about the same as that of your training environment.
