CinQo Operation Requirements

Battery: If the battery is dead or very low then the CinQo will not operate. Similarly, if the battery contacts are rusty, corroded or not making good contact then the CinQo may not operate.

To test, pair the CinQo with the Garmin. The CinQo will send a low battery warning to the Edge 705 if the battery is low. If the battery is very low, then pairing will not occur.

The CinQo uses a CR2450 coin cell battery. It can be replaced without any tools. The battery lid unscrews like a contact lens case.

Magnet: The cadence magnet must be installed in the proper location to correctly trip the reed switches. The magnet should be installed behind the ring on the back of the CinQo cadence ring. The magnet may be located between 1 and 10mm from the ring. Refer to the User Guide for photos.

Pairing: The CinQo must be paired with the receiving unit in order to display and record the CinQo data.

Garmin Edge 705:

Menu - Settings - ANT+Sport - Accessories - Restart Scan (for Powermeter)

Make sure the “power” box is checked on the Garmin 705 before pairing:

Menu - Settings - Profile & Zones - BikeProfile - Check “Power Box

When pairing, you may specify the CinQo ID. This is useful for pairing in a when nearby other ANT+ powermeters. On the ANT+ Accessories screen, move the joystick "Left-Right-Left". This will bring up a new screen and will allow you to enter the ID number of the unit to which you wish to pair. The CinQo ID number is marked on the outer edge of the electronics pod or underneath the battery on the CinQo.

Strain Gage Strings: The strain gage strings measure rider torque and are required to properly measure power. The best measure of the health of the strain gage strings is the ‘Calibrate’ command. If the Calibrate returns a value in the range of +/- 500, then the strain gage strings are healthy. A CinQo that returns a +/- 32,000 value is permanently damaged and must be replaced.

Troubleshooting

CinQo is not awake: Spin CinQo / cranks backwards. You may need to "scan for powermeter" to know that the CinQo is awake.

Battery voltage too low: Change Battery; the CinQo requires a CR2450 coin cell battery. The battery lid unscrews like a contact lens case.

Battery contacts are corroded or deformed: Inspect, clean and bend battery contacts to make contact with battery.

Will not show power or cadence: Magnet is in wrong position or missing. Position the magnet according to photos in the (Manual).

CinQo is not paired: Re-pair the CinQo according to your computers specific instructions; check the battery; check the magnet position.

Garmin Edge 705 Notes:

Shows power while stationary: Edge firmware version 2.1 or 2.8 installed. Update to the most recent firmware.

You can check your current firmware version this way:

menu - settings - system - about edge.

Recording rate: You should set the recording rate to "every second". Do not use smart recording.

menu - settings - data recording - record data (every second).

Hard Reset: After changing firmware, it is best to do a ‘hard reset’ by holding down the “Mode” button while turning the unit computer on. This may erase any data and settings on the unit.
