WHAT IS A WIRELESS SENSOR "SCAN"?
A wireless "Scan" allows your iBike to memorize the unique wireless IDs of your sensors.
The Scan allows your iBike to pick up signals from your sensors and to ignore signals from
any other ANT+ sensor.
WHY DO I NEED TO PERFORM A SENSOR "SCAN"?
Until your iBike learns and memorizes the unique IDs of your sensors, your iBike won't
work properly and your speed, cadence, and HR readings won't appear (they will be 0).
WHEN SHOULD I DO WIRELESS SENSOR SCAN?
Perform a wireless Scan every time any of these events occur:
1) You remove the sensor battery from ANY original iBike wireless sensor (shipped
2007-2010)
2) You remove the sensor battery from ANY wireless ANT+ sensor made by any other
manufacturer (Garmin, Trek, etc)
3) You install a new set of iBike or ANT+ sensors, either for a new bike or to replace
wireless sensors on your existing bike
Note that you do NOT need to do a new Scan after replacing the sensor battery on
any iBike model "G" sensor (combined speed/cadence and HRT strap).
HOW DO I DO A WIRELESS SCAN?
Any time you do a Scan, ALL of the wireless sensors you're using must be present.
1) Activate the sensors:
A. Wake up (activate) the speed and cadence sensors by waving a spoke
magnet past each sensor's pickup notch. For the original iBike sensor, the
notch is located at the top right corner of the side with white lettering. For
the combined speed/cadence sensor, the notch is located on the side with
the battery door, at the top left corner.
B. Activate your HR strap by attaching it to your chest
C. OPTIONAL: Activate Garmin speed/cadence sensor by spinning crank 3 turns.
D. OPTIONAL: if you own a DFPM, spin wheel and crank to wake up DFPM.
2) Attach iBike to your wireless mount. Make sure a battery is in your wireless mount!
3) Press and hold the top and bottom arrows simultaneously. After a few seconds you will
see the word "Scan".
4) When the word "Scan" is displayed, release the top and bottom arrows. The wireless
scan process begins.
5) As the pairing process is performed the top window will continue to flash. As each
sensor is found you'll get a message when the sensor is found, and you'll also see the top
window increment by 1. So, you might see "SPD FOUND", "CAD FOUND", HR FOUND" and
the top window flashes "3", meaning that 3 sensors have been found. If you're using the
combined speed/cadence sensor, you'll see "SPCD FOUND"; please note that SPCD is
counted as 1 sensor.
