Setup and Installation
1. Initial Charging
Before first use, fully charge the pedals using the provided magnetic charging cable. Connect the magnetic end to the charging port on each pedal and the USB end to a standard USB power adapter (not included).
Figure 2: Magnetic charging of the Magene P715 pedal. A full charge provides up to 120 hours of use.
2. Pedal Installation
Installing the P715 power meter pedals is similar to installing any standard road bike pedal. Ensure your crank arms are clean and the threads are free of debris.
- Identify the left (L) and right (R) pedals. The left pedal has a left-hand thread and the right pedal has a right-hand thread.
- Apply a small amount of grease to the pedal threads.
- Insert the crank washer onto the pedal spindle if needed for clearance.
- Thread the right pedal clockwise into the right crank arm.
- Thread the left pedal counter-clockwise into the left crank arm.
- Tighten both pedals securely with a pedal wrench. The suggested installation torque is 30–40 N·m.

3. Connectivity (Bluetooth & ANT+)
The P715 pedals support both Bluetooth and ANT+ dual protocols, allowing connection to a wide range of cycling computers, smartwatches, and applications.
- Ensure the pedals are awake (rotate them a few times).
- On your cycling computer or device, navigate to the sensor pairing menu.
- Select "Add Power Meter" or "Add Sensor".
- The device should detect the Magene P715. Select it to pair.
- For optimal data, ensure both left and right pedals are connected if your device supports dual-sided power.

Operating the Pedals
Power Measurement and Accuracy
The P715 pedals provide highly accurate power data with a ±1% precision. This is achieved through embedded power meter spindles, a gyroscope for real-time angular velocity, and temperature compensation.

Figure 7: Temperature compensation ensures reliable power readings in diverse environments.
Advanced Training Functions
The P715 provides 7 advanced cycling data metrics to help you analyze and improve your performance:
- Power: Total power output.
- Cadence: Pedaling revolutions per minute.
- Left and Right Balance: Distribution of power between your left and right legs.
- Pedaling Smoothness: Consistency of your pedaling stroke.
- Torque Effectiveness: How effectively you are applying torque to the pedals.
- Riding Position: Analysis of power output at different riding postures.
- Power Phase: The portion of the pedal stroke where power is generated.
Note: Power phase and riding position functions may require a compatible cycling computer (e.g., Garmin) to display. Magene will update bike computer support for these functions.

Maintenance
Charging
Recharge the pedals when the battery indicator on your cycling computer or the pedal itself shows low battery. Use only the provided magnetic charging cable. A full charge takes approximately 3 hours.
Cleaning
The P715 pedals are IPX7 waterproof, meaning they can withstand splashes and brief immersion. After riding in wet or dirty conditions, wipe the pedals clean with a damp cloth. Avoid using high-pressure water jets directly on the charging port or spindle area.

Storage
When storing the pedals for extended periods, ensure they are fully charged to maintain battery health. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No power reading | Pedals not awake; Low battery; Not paired correctly. | Rotate pedals to wake them up. Charge the pedals. Re-pair with your cycling computer. |
| Inaccurate power readings | Pedals not calibrated; Environmental factors (extreme temperature changes). | Perform a zero-offset calibration via your cycling computer. Ensure pedals are at ambient temperature before calibration. |
| Connectivity issues | Bluetooth/ANT+ interference; Device too far; Pedals not awake. | Move closer to the device. Ensure no other devices are interfering. Rotate pedals. Try re-pairing. |
| Short battery life | Incomplete charging; Extreme temperatures. | Ensure full charge cycle. Avoid using/storing in extreme hot/cold. |
