- Open the app and follow the instructions to add your device (M1). Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your phone and the M1 is in pairing mode.
- Once connected, you can view sports data, analyze your cycling track, perform firmware updates, and synchronize your data with platforms like Strava.
6. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the device with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Waterproof: The device is IPX6 waterproof, meaning it is rain-proof. However, it should not be submerged in water for extended periods.
- Battery: The built-in 1200 mAh rechargeable battery provides up to 60 hours of continuous use. Charge via the Type-C port. Charging takes approximately 3.5 hours.
- Memory: The device has 150 hours of internal memory. When the memory is full, the computer will overwrite older records chronologically. Regularly sync data to the app to prevent loss.
- Backlight: After setting the time zone, the backlight will automatically turn on every night from 18:00 to 9:00. Pressing any button will activate the backlight, which will turn off after 10 seconds of inactivity.
7. Troubleshooting
- No GPS Signal: Ensure the device is in an open area with no obstructions. Remain static for a few minutes during initial power-on to allow for signal acquisition.
- Sensors Not Connecting: Check that your ANT+ sensors are active and within range. Ensure the M1 is in the correct setting page (C2) to search for sensors. If issues persist, try unpairing all sensors (C9) and re-connecting.
- App Connection Issues: Make sure Bluetooth is enabled on your phone and the M1. Ensure the "CYCPLUS Fit" app is installed and updated. Try restarting both the M1 and your phone. If the app still doesn't connect, try re-pairing the device within the app.
- Incorrect Data: Verify that the wheel circumference (C3) and speed unit (C5) settings are correct.
- Device Not Responding: If the device becomes unresponsive, try a factory reset (C7). Note that this will erase all settings and data.
