Idiot's guide to pairing

NOTE:
The original post is great but wasn't quite perfect; AP NEEDS TO BE PAIRED TO SENSORS BEFORE pairing AP to the Garmin. And, it's not necessary to click AP button after a cal ride.
SO: the original post has been edited a bit to make it 100% correct. The instructions below can be used with confidence!

I was trying to explain to a few people how to pair for calibration successfully; folks were tripping up in the instruction leaflets
I distilled it down to this simple set of instructions. Hope it helps (sure John will correct if I missed something)
Do this:
1.Turn on Garmin.
2. Spin your PM
3. Calibrate PM
4.turn on Aeropod
5. Change Aeropod to profile 4 if not done so already (use Isaac or PowerHouse Bike app)
6. Spin the HECK out of your speed and PM sensors
7. Pair AeroPod to your speed/PM sensors (hold Aeropod button for 4s, until it flashes green, then release)
NB: a possible pairing mistake is when AeroPod "red light of death" happens at the end of AeroPod sensor pairing. If AeroPod flashed yellow 3 times during pairing, your PM was found by AeroPod. Red light after that means speed sensor was not found by AeroPod. Spin the HECK out of that speed sensor again, then do the pairing process again. This seems to be a common point to trip up.
8. Pair to Garmin (find on PM page and click connect)
9. Do your cal
