Preparation

Before installing the Magene P715 pedals, ensure you have the necessary tools and prepare the crank arm threads.

Required Tools:

• 3mm Allen key
• 8mm Allen key or bit
• Torque wrench

Crank Arm Preparation:

1. Clean the crank arm threads thoroughly. Use a cloth or brush to remove any old grease or debris.
2. Apply a small amount of fresh grease to the clean crank arm threads.

Activation

The power meter pedals must be charged and activated before their first use to ensure proper functionality.

1. Charge the Pedals: Connect the magnetic charging cable to both pedals to charge them. The pedals will wake up during this process.
2. Download Magene Utility App: Install the 'Magene Utility' app on your smartphone.
3. Search and Connect: Open the app and click 'Search Device'. Once the P715 device appears, select it to connect.
4. Activate Device: A new device and activation button will appear. Click the button to activate. The app will request your email address for verification. Enter your email, and the app will send a verification code. Enter the received code to complete activation.

Note:

• If activation fails, click 'Back', return to the device search list, and reconnect to activate.

Installation

Proper installation is crucial for accurate power measurement and to prevent damage to the pedals or crank threads.

1. Thread Direction: Install the left pedal counterclockwise and the right pedal clockwise. Improper threading can damage your pedal or the crank threads.
2. Use Pedal Spacers: When installing, it is mandatory to use one or two pedal spacers to ensure at least 1mm of clearance between the power meter module and the crank arm. If the power meter module is pressed against the crank arm during tightening, it may cause damage.
3. Tighten with Torque Wrench: Use a torque wrench with an 8mm Allen bit for installation. The recommended tightening torque is 30-40 N·m. If your crank manufacturer specifies a different torque, please follow their recommendation.

Note:

• You may hand-thread the power meter module lightly, but do not fully tighten it by hand as this may damage the power meter module.

Calibration

To ensure accurate power meter readings, zero-offset calibration is essential, especially after installation or significant changes.

1. Initial Pedal Strokes: After each installation, perform several forceful pedal strokes to settle the components before proceeding with zero-offset calibration.
2. Crank Length Setting: In the 'Magene Utility' app, select the correct crank length (in mm) that matches your actual crank arm length. This is crucial for accurate power meter readings.
3. Perform Zero Calibration: In the app, click the 'Zero Calibration' button to manually calibrate the power meter. The app will indicate whether the calibration was successful.

Note:

• Do not perform zero-point calibration while the pedals are charging or if any external force is being applied to them.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Magene P715 pedals, refer to these common troubleshooting tips:

• Activation Failure: If the app fails to activate the device, ensure the pedals are charged and try reconnecting from the device search list in the 'Magene Utility' app.
• Inaccurate Readings: Perform a zero-offset calibration. Ensure the correct crank length is set in the app. Check for proper installation, including the use of pedal spacers and correct tightening torque.
• Connectivity Issues: Ensure Bluetooth/ANT+ is enabled on your cycling computer or smartphone. Check that the pedals are charged. Try restarting the pedals and your device.
• Pedal Damage: If the power meter module is pressed against the crank arm, it may cause damage. Ensure proper clearance with pedal spacers during installation.
