How much time remains, if the battery symbol "LOW" appears on the main display?

The battery symbol "LOW" appears on the main display appears when when the remaining battery capacity is is less than 2 hours. The "sleep" mode is activated when the battery has less than 1 hour capacity. All stored data remains on the ergomo^® computer and can be transferred to your PC after the ride. The computer should be recharged when the battery low sign appears. 

  How long will the rechargeable batteries last for?

The rechargeable batteries of ergomo^® pro will last about 12 to 15 h in the online mode, in sleep mode they should last about 3 weeks. Please fully charge your ergomo^® computer before you don't use it for some weeks. After 2 month of storage we suggest to recharge the ergomo^®.

 Can the ergomo^® computer be restarted if it has fallen into the sleep mode due to the low battery capacity?

When the sleep mode has been activated due to low battery, the ergomo^® should under no circumstance be reactivated before being recharged. To recharge completely press reset button on back of computer with a paperclip until you see the ergomo^® logo on screen. Then recharge the computer for at least six hours.

  What´s the difference between the ergomo^® pro and the ergomo^® spin?

The ergomo^® pro is especially developed for outdoor use - like for triathletes, race bikers, mountainbikers and ambitioned hobby cyclists. Up to 15 hours of pure travel time is guaranteed by the reloadable battery and it also contains an intergrated altimeter.
The ergomo^® spin is especially developed for indoor cyclists at home or at the health club. The bottom bracket is especially constructed for the higher pressure of indoor workouts.

 Is there a time delay between action, measurement and display of achivements?

The data is shown in real time. This does depend anyhow on the level of display refresh rate. This level can be adjusted between level 1 and 8, e.g. the resulting watt number is the average out of 1, 2, 3, ... or up to 8 pedal turns.  

 I have a USB/Serial port adapter, but I still can't get the ergomo^® pro to talk to my PC.

1) There is a very specific “order” to plugging in the adapter in order to get it talking to the PC and ergoRacer^®.

a) Turn on your PC computer.
b) Plug in your USB/Serial adapter.
c) Open ergoRacer® software.
d) Confirm you have the correct Power Meter Port (Com port).

If you turn on ergoRacer^® first and then plug in the USB/Serial adapter, then it's likely it won't find the adapter.

2) Some USB/Serial adapters will not work with some PC computers. Some customers will have to buy different USB adapters before they will find one that works with their ergomo^® pro and PC computer. If you are not able to get your ergomo^® pro to talk to the software, then it's possible that you need to buy a different USB/Serial adapter.

3) Do you have a PDA or phone or camera attached to your PC computer that is using the Com port?

If so, it's possible that you need to unplug that, and then reboot your PC to release the Com Port. In extreme cases, you might have to actually 'delete' the Com Port, in order to get it to release.
