PART ONE: Easy Start
Getting your Newton+ going is faster and easier than ever. Here’s what you will
do:
1) Charge your Newton+’s battery
2) Attach the Newton+ mount to your bicycle
3) Attach the speed-cadence sensor to your bike
4) Calibrate your Newton+ with an easy 10-15 minute ride
THAT’S IT!!! Details on each step follow.
1. Charge your Newton+’s battery
Your Newton+ includes a rechargeable battery. The battery is permanently installed in the
case and cannot be removed.
Before using your Newton+ for the first time, make sure to fully charge your battery.
Attach the USB cable to the connector located on the bottom of the Newton+ case, then
plug in the USB connector to your computer port, or to any USB power source. While
charging, the middle window will show “batt%” and the bottom window will flash “chrg”
(charging), followed by the percentage charge of your battery. When your Newton+ is fully
charged the bottom window will show “100” (100%).
Your Newton+ battery will charge fully in about 2 hours.
A note on Newton+ battery life
Your Newton+ battery will provide you about 20 hours of continuous ride time between
recharges, in cold weather or warm.
Of course, each time you plug your Newton+ into your computer, or any USB charger
device, the Newton+ battery will recharge very quickly.
You can check the percentage of battery energy remaining in your Newton+ by clicking the
left arrow one time to find “Batt %”. The amount of battery charge in your Newton+ is
shown in %. Wait a few seconds for the battery charge indication to stabilize.
TIP: While in the battery screen you can turn your Newton+ off by press-holding the
center button.
TIP: During the winter months and the “off” season, recharge your Newton+ once every
two weeks. This will extend battery life.
You can return your Newton+ to the main screen by clicking the center button.
