Maintenance And Care - FSA POWERBOX K-FORCE TEAM EDITION User Manual And Instructions

automatically determined by your PowerBox power meter.
The zero-point adjustment compensates for influences caused by temperature variations and mechanical
zero-point shifts. It is possible to repeatedly set the zero point at the head unit, but it isn't necessary! This is
performed by the system automatically when it is not under power. "Not being under power" means a stop in
pedaling for at least two seconds during a ride. If a de-powering as described above is not possible, for example
during a long mountain climb, then your PowerBox power meter automatically compensates for temperature.
Thus your PowerBox guarantees a reliable power measurement.
6.4 Battery life
Battery life is approximately 400 hours. Battery life can be decreased by low temperatures and by transporting
your bicycle, for example in your car.
6.5 After your ride
Your PowerBox power meter independently enters standby mode approximately two minutes after ending your
ride. This reduces electricity consumption and increases battery life.
6.6 Battery change
To change the battery, remove the battery cap. Pull out the empty battery and insert a new battery. Pay
attention to the correct position of the positive pole and negative pole. Close the battery cap and check if it is in
the correct position.
6.7 Turning the power meter on and off
You can turn off your PowerBox power meter yourself by removing the battery. You can turn your PowerBox
power meter back on by inserting the battery again.
NOTE: When transporting your bicycle, the PowerBox power meter is activated. Therefore, it is recommended to
turn off the power meter for longer transports. You should generally turn it off when transporting your bike in a
plane.
6.8 After a crash
The PowerBox power meter was developed to have a high level of reliability. Usually, crash forces are generally
completely absorbed by the crankarms and the bottom bracket. Crash damage to a PowerBox power meter is
thus almost completely ruled out.
In the interest of your own security and health, you should do the following checks:
Could the cranks have sustained any damage? The cranks could suffer from hairline fractures that you may
eventually not recognize. This could, over time, result in sudden failure. Therefore, replacement is recommended.
If anything is rattling around the crankset, this could indicate potential damage. Examine all mechanical
connections.

7. Maintenance and Care

The battery cap should be checked occasionally to see whether it is seated correctly and, if necessary,
it should be replaced so that it maintains its waterproof seal.
After longer rides in the rain, please examine if water has penetrated the battery cover. Should this be
the case, allow this area to dry out while having removed the battery and with the battery cap off. You
can assist in this process by using an absorbent cloth.
Do not use thinners or solvents to clean your PowerBox power meter. Use clear water or soapy water
and a soft sponge or rag.
