2.3 Charging and caring for your batteries
Your powermeter uses a rechargeable lithium ion batteries. When the reported battery
life is 8%, you will have 4-5 hours of remaining usage.
Your dual-sided Podiiiium Pro PRECISION Powermeter comes with a micro-USB charge
cable that allows you to charge both sides at once.
Your power meter will take approximately 3-4 hours to fully charge.
Please note that the charge time may depend on the power source used.
NOTE: If the battery reaches 0% on one side, the other side of the dual system will
automatically operate as a single-sided powermeter; reported wattage from this side
will be doubled.
• Use a USB AC adapter with a voltage of 5.0V and with a current equal or greater
than 1.0A.
• Use the designated charge cable to charge the powermeter.
• Avoid contact of the charge cable and/ or powermeter with water while charging.
• Do not disassemble or modify the charge cable.
• Charge the device at the specied power supply voltage only.
• Lithium-ion batteries are recyclable. For information on disposal of used batteries,
contact your original dealer.
• If the battery has become completely depleted, charge it as soon as possible.
Leaving the battery in a depleted state can cause the battery to deteriorate.

2.4 Conguring your powermeter using the 4iiii App
When your Podiiiium was shipped from the factory, the drive side and non-drive side
powermeters were linked together such that they operate as a dual-sided powermeter.
Your powermeter can also operate as two independent single-sided powermeters. If
you want to operate your Podiiiium powermeter as a single-sided powermeter using
only one crank arm, follow the instructions in Section 2.4.2
Additional information and settings on your Podiiiium can be accessed through the
4iiii app on iOS and Android devices using Bluetooth®.
To congure your Podiiiium powermeter in single-sided mode, follow the instructions
in Section 2.4.3
To congure your Podiiiium powermeter in dual-sided mode, follow the instructions in
Section 2.4.1
Quick Tips:
Pairing is the connection between your powermeter and display units
such as a bike computer, watch, or smartphone. Linking is the connection between the
drive and non-drive side powermeters.
Connect your powermeter to the 4iiii App once a month to check for the latest rmware
update. If your rmware requires updating, you will be prompted to upgrade.
Your battery percentage for you drive-side and non-drive-side powermeter can be
viewed by connecting to the 4iiii App.
