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.

2. Attach the mount to your bicycle

You’ll need to attach your Newton+ mount to your stem, handlebars, or steer tube

(depending on which kind of mount you purchased). Follow the printed instructions

included separately.

Make sure to locate your mount so that your Newton+, when attached, has an

unobstructed view of the wind.

Make sure to remove the double-sticky tape from the mount top and bottom. This tape

helps keep the mount solidly attached to the handlebars and stem.

3. Attach the Speed/Cadence sensor to your bike

Attach your iBike speed/cadence sensor, and speed and cadence magnets, to your bike,

using the printed instructions included separately.

TIP: MAKE SURE THE MAGNETS PASS BY THEIR RESPECTIVE SENSORS WITH A

SEPARATION OF ABOUT 1-2 COIN WIDTHS. THIS SMALL GAP ASSURES THAT THE

SENSORS WILL DETECT THE PRESENCE OF THE MAGNETS.

TIP: IBIKE SENSORS SHIPPED WITH YOUR NEWTON+ HAVE BEEN PRE-PAIRED AT THE

FACTORY AND ARE READY TO USE. THERE’S NO NEED TO DO A “SCAN”

ANT+ SENSOR PAIRING

NOTE: YOUR NEWTON+ HAS ALREADY BEEN

PAIRED WITH ITS SPEED/CADENCE SENSOR.

Your Newton+ will work with any wireless ANT+ sensor. If you’re using any ANT+ sensor

other than the speed/cadence sensor shipped with your Newton+, you will need to do

sensor pairing.

Install your speed/cadence sensor on your bike, following the instructions included

separately. If you use an HR strap, fasten it to your body.

To pair your Newton+ to your ANT+ sensors, press-hold the TOP AND BOTTOM arrows

simultaneously, until a “Scan” message appears. After a few moments the pairing process

will be completed and your Newton+ will remember permanently the wireless IDs of your

sensors. ANT+ speed, cadence, speed/cadence, HR, and DFPM sensors can be read.

4. Calibrate your Newton+ with a “Cal Ride”

To calibrate your Newton+ you need about 10 minutes to perform a Cal Ride. The Cal Ride

customizes your Newton+ to your bike, and gets it ready for power measurements. This is

an easy, leisurely ride; there’s no need to race, and no reason to worry!

Here’s how to do the Cal Ride:

1. Pick a quiet, low-traffic place to do a solo (no drafting allowed) Cal Ride.

2. Wake up the Newton+. Speed is shown in the top window. You’ll see “----W” in

the center window, indicating that your Newton+ requires a Cal Ride, and that it

can’t report power numbers until after the Cal Ride has been completed.

3. Start riding. After 8 seconds the Newton+ screen changes. “Cal” appears in the

middle window, and “Start” flashes in the bottom window.

4. When you’re ready to start the Cal ride, click the center button to start the

Cal Ride.

5. The top window shows bike speed, the center window alternates between “Cal”

and distance traveled, and the progress bar fills as you ride.

6. During the Cal Ride you can bike at a leisurely pace, and it’s OK to stop if

needed. Your Cal Ride will be unaffected.

7. Ride for five minutes, until “go back, turn 180 degrees” flashes.

8. If you still need to keep going a ways before turning safely, it’s OK. When safe,

slow to a stop, turn around, and ride backto the starting point.

9. The progress bar empties as you ride back. Keep riding until the progress

bar is completely empty, and “Cal Done” flashes.

NOTICE: ONCE BEGINNING YOUR CAL RIDE, IF YOU WISH TO TERMINATE IT, PRESS-

HOLD THE CENTER BUTTON FOR TWO SECONDS. THIS ABORTS THE CAL RIDE AND

LEAVES ANY PRIOR RESULTS UNCHANGED.

IMPORTANT: UNTIL YOU COMPLETE THE CAL RIDE, YOU WILL SEE “---W” IN THE MAIN

SCREENS, INDICATING THAT YOUR CAL RIDE HAS NOT BEEN COMPLETED AND THAT

YOUR NEWTON+ IS NOT SET UP PROPERLY. YOU MUST COMPLETE THE CAL RIDE BEFORE

USING YOUR NEWTON+ FOR ANY BIKE RIDE MEASUREMENTS.

BASIC SETUP OF YOUR NEWTON+ IS NOW COMPLETE AND YOU’LL GET

CONSISTENT RESULTS.

TO FINE-TUNE YOUR NEWTON+’S ACCURACY WITH ISAAC SOFTWARE, SEE

INSTRUCTIONS IN THE NEXT SECTION

PART 2: BASIC OPERATION

PERFORMING A “HARD RESET” WITH THE

NEWTON+

A Hard Reset reboots your Newton+’s computer.

In the Newton+, you do a “Hard Reset” by doing the following:

Simultaneously press-hold the left, bottom, right, and center buttons. The screen

will go blank. Then, release the button and the Newton+ will restart.

All of your stored information will be retained, with the exception of date and time.

FINE-TUNING NEWTON+ CALIBRATION WITH

ISAAC SOFTWARE

You can fine-tune your Newton+’s calibration even more by entering Basic Information with

Isaac software. It’s simple to do, and we strongly recommend you take a few minutes to

do so.

The Isaac software, included with your iBike Newton+, provides an extremely simple way

to enter your basic information. Install the Isaac software on your computer, then connect

your Newton+ to your computer and launch the Isaac software.

“Dial-In Wizard”

The “Dial-In” wizard increases the accuracy of your calibration. Each time Isaac detects

that you’ve done a Cal Ride that started from a factory-default profile, you’ll be prompted

to enter information using the “Dial-In Wizard”. Just answer a few questions regarding

your weight, height, ride position, and FTP (if you don’t know what FTP is, don’t worry—

leave the number at “81”, the default value. To learn more about FTP, please refer to pgs

45-47 of these instructions).

“Set-Up Device Wizard”

If you prefer, you can use the “Device/Device Setup…” wizard to enter your basic

information BEFORE you perform the Cal Ride. If you use the Setup Device wizard prior to

the cal ride, then your Newton+ will be fully dialed-in immediately after the cal ride is

completed.

TIP: If you use the Setup Device wizard prior to a Cal Ride, the Dial-In wizard won’t

appear after your Cal Ride is completed.

How to use the Device/Setup Device wizard

and follow the prompts on the computer screen to enter your information. After you’ve

completed your data entry, click the “Send Profile to iBike” button. Your Newton+ data will

be updated and your Newton+ will be dialed-in.

After completing the Basic Information prompts, attach your Newton+ to your bike and

proceed to Sensor Pairing.

TIP: YOU CAN FINE-TUNE YOUR NEWTON+ DIRECTLY, WITHOUT A COMPUTER,

USING THE “FAST START SEQUENCE” AVAILABLE THROUGH SETUP. ENTER SETUP,

SCROLL TO “NO FAST START”. CLICK THE CENTER BUTTON; “NO” FLASHES. CLICK

ANY BUTTON TO SELECT “YES”. CLICK THE CENTER BUTTON. THEN, CLICK THE UP

ARROW TO ENTER YOUR DATA. TO CHANGE DATA, CLICK THE CENTER BUTTON.

NEWTON+ “SETUP” MODE

All of the advanced setup and calibration steps are accessed through the Set-Up mode.

How to enter the Set-Up mode

1. Click any button to wake-up the Newton+

2. Press and hold the up-arrow for about 2 seconds (UP-ARROW FOR SET-UP); the

words “set up” will appear. When the set-up screen appears release the button.

How to exit the Set-Up mode

1. Press-hold the UP arrow for two seconds, OR

2. Do not press any button for 30 seconds.

NAVIGATING THE NEWTON+ SETUP

SCREENS

Once entering the “Setup” mode (press-hold up arrow for two seconds), scroll to any setup

screen by clicking the up or down arrows located on the red button:

Click the up arrow: advance to the NEXT setup screen,

Click the down arrow: return to the PREVIOUS setup screen

Each setup screen displays one step of the Newton+’s setup process.

Setup screens are organized like a Rolodex. You can scroll forwards and backwards to any

setup screen. When you reach the final screen and click the up arrow to advance to the

next screen, you will return to the first screen.
