Q
Under what smartphone conditions can devices (smart computers and sensors)
be connected?
How do I disconnect a device from the smartphone?
How can I view the Sensor Direct Mode records?
How do I clear the e-mail, phone, and SMS(text) notification icons displayed
on the smart computer?
Why don’t the values change when using the smartphone’s GPS to measure speed?
ON
Connect
As long as the app is running (including during sleep mode) and
is switched to , the smartphone will normally search for paired devices.
The smart computer will become connected just by searching for a smartphone,
and the sensors will become connected just by transmitting a signal.
Even when disconnected due to noise or distance, both devices will enter the search mode
and automatically reconnect.
Disconnecting is performed using the app.
Sensor Direct Mode ride data saved in the smart computer
can be viewed once the data is transferred to the app.
*After importing, the ride data saved in the smart computer
will be automatically deleted.
*The icon will only be displayed when data has been saved
in the smart computer, and the smart computer is connected
to the smartphone.
The icons will be cleared whenever the trip is paused, regardless of whether the e-mail, phone,
or SMS(text) has been viewed.
It may take a while for the smartphone to acquire a GPS signal, and the speed values may not
change right away when measuring without using the sensors.

The app shows whether data has been uploaded in the past.
There is no way for the app to know if the data has been deleted from the web.
Note that it is still possible to re-upload ride data that is displayed as Uploaded.
If a refresh mark is displayed in place of the map, the map
display will be reloaded when the activity is opened.
*Depending on the signal strength and smartphone
performance, the display may show as incomplete.
When the smartphone moves away from the bicycle even for a short time,
the smart computer may automatically enter sleep mode.
Press the MODE button to reconnect with the smartphone.
Because altitude measurements rely on the smartphone’s GPS function,
the measured altitude may be different from the actual altitude.
