OTHER SPECIAL FEATURES
There are some other very useful features available with your Newton+.
SPECIAL FEATURE #1: "AUTO HILL"
You're riding along on the flats but you see a steep hill ahead. Once you start climbing
you'll want to know: how tough is the climb? Your Newton+ can tell you AUTOMATICALLY.
Anytime you ride on a hill slope higher than two percent, the top window of your main
screen will AUTOMATICALLY alternate between your bike speed and the hill slope.
Once the hill slope drops below 2%, the Auto Hill feature will automatically cancel.
TIP: BY DEFAULT AUTO HILL IS TURNED "OFF". PRESS-HOLD THE BOTTOM ARROW FOR
TWO SECONDS TO TURN AUTO HILL ON ("Hill Auto"). DO THIS AGAIN TO TURN AUTO-
HILL OFF ("Hill OFF").
SPECIAL FEATURE #2: "LAP TIMER" AND "LAP REVIEW"
Your Newton+ screens display information about each Newton+ Trip, while simultaneously
storing all your trip ride data in memory. But if you're racing in a crit or training on a route
where you're doing multiple laps you will likely want to compare your performance from lap
to lap.
The Newton+ has a lap timer that lets you see your important lap stats (lap number,
average speed, average watts, and lap time) while on the bike and that marks those laps in
your ride file for later analysis.
Each time you press-hold the left arrow for two seconds, four things happen:
1) The previous lap ends, and the screen flashes the lap number that has just ended
2) Stats from the previous lap are flashed on the screen for about 10 seconds (average
speed, average watts, lap time)
3) A new lap is started and stats are gathered in the background for the new lap
4) Your Newton+ automatically returns to the main screen
The lap timer automatically resets to lap 1 whenever you perform a "trip reset"
command. So, if you're racing, perform a trip-reset while waiting at the starting line;
your first lap will start recording lap one.
When you've finished your ride you can download your ride, then perform a trip-reset to
reset your lap timer.
You can also review your lap stats on your Newton+. To do so, press-hold the left
arrow for five seconds. The "Lap Data" screen appears; the lap number is in the top
window. Select the lap number you wish to review with the top/bottom arrows. Wait 2
seconds; the screen changes and shows the average lap speed, average lap power, and lap
time. Continue to use the up/down arrows to select other laps. If no button is touched for
4 seconds, "Lap End" flashes and the Lap Review screens are exited automatically.
