HOW TO START YOUR NEWTON+ PRIOR TO A RIDE
Each time you ride with the Newton+, follow these simple steps:
1) Attach your Newton+ to your mount
2) Click the center button of your Newton+ to awaken it.
3) Start riding.
SPECIAL
FEATURE: setting starting elevation
Your Newton+ determines altitude (elevation) from barometric pressure measurements.
For correct elevation measurements, the Newton+ has to be "told" the reference elevation
that corresponds to the currently measured value of barometric pressure.
To set the reference elevation, go into Setup and click the top arrow until you see the "Alt"
screen. Click the center button and set the number to the correct elevation (in this
example, 15 feet).
Then, click the center button to accept. The elevation number you set in this step is
memorized, and can be easily recalled later, whenever your rides begin from the same
location.
Recalling Starting Elevation
Many people start their rides from the same place, so the starting elevation is the same.
However, because weather and barometric pressure vary from day to day, the elevation
shown on the Newton+ screen can change considerably. For example, in the Enviro screen
shown below, the reported elevation has drifted to -71 feet due to weather changes, even
though at this particular location the actual elevation is 15 feet.
To set the correct elevation, while in the Enviro/Tilt-Wind-elevation screen, press-hold the
center button for a few seconds. The current elevation will be updated to the reference
