Can you remove DFPM ID from a calibration on Newton
Posted: Mon May 30, 2016 6:48 pm
I had some issues on a ride where I chose to do a sensor search on my Newton 5. I was in range of some other cyclists that had a DFPM and I think that got associated with the profile.
I have tried repeatedly to do the sensor search completely out of range of any other bike and the profile first says (I think) "DFPM off" then "DFPM found". I have DFPM display off and I see (I believe) the Newton power data on the Newton. However, the Garmin 800 to which it was happily broadcasting power data displays zero Watts continuously. When I switched to another profile (untainted by DFPM proximity), the Garmin displays wattage. This leads me to believe that the new profile has the DFPM ID embedded in it.
Is there a way to remove the DFPM from the profile on the Newton? Or do I just have to do a fresh calibration ride with no other bikes nearby? Or do I have to do something else entirely?
Thanks for any help.
