Review calibration and potential problem?
Posted: Mon Jun 18, 2018 4:54 pm
Hello, I received my PowerPod Yesterday and have followed all the required steps to activate out and back calibration, however no matter what I do I can not seem to get it to trigger this calibration mode. I have followed all the steps on the Issac software and every time I go for a ride I get a calibration but not an out and back calibration. I restored the PowerPod today and followed the steps on Issac to start an out and back calibration, this is what happened:-
Ran setup on Issac and selected "Best accuracy"
Attached PowerPod to bike, pushing it forward to the locked position and ensuring the words PowerPod are parallel to the floor.
Woke power pod to a solid Red light as I had just set factory restore.
Held button for 4 seconds and began pairing, both Speed and cadence sensor, pairing completed.
Yellow Solid light, I take my bicycle outside and begin riding to a good start point for calibration, the PowerPod stays solid yellow the entire time and does not change to green/red flashing.
Push button at start point, yellow light starts to flash and Watts start to count from 1-100 as I ride, not stopping at 50 and not offering a chance to turn around.
Once complete the PowerPod Goes solid yellow again. I stop, and push the button.
PowerPod starts flashing yellow again and starts at 50 watts and rises to 100 again and then switches to Power reading once complete.
I have repeated this several times and can not get the out and back version of calibration to start, it always followed the above calibration method, some times even getting stuck at 50%. Below is the only successful calibration ride I have completed via the above version, not out and back.
I am not really sure what I am doing wrong, I am following the steps as described by the instruction but the PowerPod is just not following the described sequence. Any help would be great. Thank you.
