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.
