Questions and answers
RPM does not show?
1. Installation may take some time, max. 5 minutes pedaling before the RPM comes in. At daily
start-up of the computer it may always take some time before the sensor is found. Give it time.
2. If, after ve minutes, the RPM still does not show, then check that the sensor is attached to the
crank.
3. If this is the case, then shut down your computer and remove the Ant+ sensor from the
computer and then stick it back into the computer. Reboot and perform point 1.
4. If no improvement, reset the cadence sensor: remove its battery and install it back again after
10 seconds.
5. If point 2 offers no solution, perhaps the battery of the cadence sensor must be replaced. The
LED ashes red after two revolutions when the battery is almost empty. An explanation how to
replace the battery, see the Garmin manual.
