Power Save Mode

The power save mode is enabled by default. During the night, in between the hours 24:00 - 06:00 / 12:00am - 06:00am,
the training computer display will be switched off automatically. During this time the AutoSync function is not enabled. To
exit the power save mode, press any button. After five minutes, the display returns to power save mode.
The time period during which the power save mode is enabled, can be modified in the WebSync software, to better
suit your training schedule. For more information, see WebSync Help.

Battery Lifetime in RCX5

The battery lifetime for the RCX5 training computer is on average 8-11 months and depends on which
features and sensors you use. The suggestions below will help you to lengthen the battery lifetime.
To ensure 11 month lifetime of the battery:
• Set the AutoSync feature off in Connect # AutoSync.
• Set GPS sensor off when you do not need speed, distance or location data.
If you do not need speed, distance, cadence, location or heart rate data, make sure that the corresponding
sensor (GPS/Stride/Speed/Cadence/Heart rate) is disabled. Go to
to disable the sensor you are not using. When a sensor is set
sensor signal throughout the training session. This consumes the battery capacity which is likely to
shorten the battery lifetime.
