Acquiring Satellite Signals and Time Setting

Ensure the iGS50E is outdoors with a clear view of the sky. Signal acquisition may take 5 to 120 seconds. Remain stationary while acquiring signals. The time and date will be calibrated automatically once satellite signals are acquired.

Smart Backlight

The iGS50E automatically calculates sunrise and sunset times based on GPS position. The backlight turns on before sunset and off after sunrise. When the backlight is off, pressing any button will turn it on for 15 seconds.

Battery

• Type: Rechargeable, built-in lithium-ion battery.
• Life: About 40 hours (typical usage).
• Operating Temperature: -10°C to 50°C (14°F to 122°F).
• Charging Temperature: 0°C to 45°C (32°F to 113°F).
• Input: DC5V, 500mA.
• Charging Time: 2.5 Hours/Hour.

Notes: Use a DC 5V power adapter for charging. Battery life decreases as temperature drops. The iGS50E supports charging during use. Do not overstretch the USB plug to maintain waterproofing and dustproofing.

Motion Detection and Auto Standby

The iGS50E enters standby mode automatically after 5-10 minutes of inactivity. It will wake up automatically once motion is detected.

Searching and Connecting ANT+ Sensors (Setting Mode E1)

The iGS50E can be used with ANT+ sensors, including heart rate monitors, cadence sensors, speed sensors, and combined speed/cadence sensors. Search for ANT+ sensors when using them for the first time.

Steps for Sensor Setup:

1. Wake up ANT+ sensors. A heart rate monitor should be worn directly on the skin around the chest.
2. Cadence Sensor Installation: Install on the non-drive side crank arm and rotate the crank arm.
