Written Directions to set up your devices
You can connect your devices in multiple ways:
The top center of the main rider app has icons listed out and a flashing "Connect" button you can click on
When you launch a workout from the app or from a link in your training plan, the device connection screen will pop up
No matter how you get there, here are the steps you'll take:
Power: the top left quadrant is where you'll connect to your power meter (pedals, crank, hub, etc.) or your smart trainer. Click the "Connect" button and a search will begin. When you see your device, click on it to highlight it AND then click "Pair". If you have a power meter, you're done with this step. If you have a smart trainer, it will search to see if there's resistance control, and then it will ask if you want to enable it for resistance as well.
Note: If you start pedaling while still in the device connection screen, the power and cadence will activate and display.
If you have set up your power meter or smart trainer in this step and cadence is reporting, you do NOT need to connect the optional external cadence connection in the bottom right quadrant
Resistance Control: If you have elected to use a power meter as your power source and want the smart trainer to operate independently as a resistance control device. You'll want to click connect, select your device from the search list and then click on "Pair" to establish the connection
Note: Velocity typically will NOT run in ERG mode, so you will be responsible for shifting gears to control your power and cadence output and compliance.
Heart Rate: In the bottom left quadrant, you'll follow a similar process: click on "Connect", select/highlight your device in the search list and then click on "Pair"
External Cadence Sensor: The bottom right quadrant is ONLY for riders who are using an external cadence sensor and not for people who have already connected via a power meter and/or a smart trainer.
