Calibration Ride - iBike Gen III Operating Instructions Manual

STEP TWO:
THE CALIBRATION RIDE
The Calibration Ride improves the accuracy of your wind sensor and tilt sensor, and also
improves the accuracy of your estimated aerodynamic and frictional drag coefficients.
The Calibration Ride is 2 miles (3.2 KM) long. The cyclist rides one mile out, then turns
around and rides back on the same road.
Here's how to perform the Calibration Ride:
1) Make sure the FAST START sequence has been completed
2) Place the iBike on its mount.
3) Click the center button to awaken the iBike. Cup your hand over the wind port
during the "Auto Wind" calibration.
4) Ride your bike to the location where you will start the Cal Ride. While riding the
iBike will show readings but power and wind speed measurements may not be
accurate.
5) When ready to start the Cal Ride, press-hold the up arrow to enter Setup.
6) Click the up arrow twice to find the "Cal Ride" screen.
7) To start the Cal Ride click the center button.
8) Your iBike checks to see when the Tilt and Cal Wind steps were performed. If these
steps were performed more than 30 minutes prior to the start of your Cal Ride, you
will be required to perform the Tilt and Cal Wind calibrations again.
9) If prompted, perform Tilt and Cal Wind. Just before starting the Cal Ride the screen
"Start" will flash.
10) To start the Cal Ride click the center button. You'll see the following screen:
10) Begin your Cal Ride. Ride at a leisurely pace, in your normal riding position.
11) NO DRAFTING ALLOWED!
12) During your ride out the iBike center window will tell you how far you've traveled.
Your goal is to travel at least 1 mile from the starting point.
13) Once you've traveled 1 miles your iBike will tell you to turn around. You will see
these screens flash in succession, telling you exactly what to do: (Go back, turn 180
degrees)
14) When you see these messages, STOP, THEN TURN AROUND. The flashing
messages disappear the word "Bac" appears in the bottom window, and does not flash.
