Getting started
Charging the battery
Your device has an internal battery that may not be fully charged when you purchase it. You should
charge the battery for at least 8 hours before you start using it for the very first time.
To charge the battery:
Using a power socket
• Plug the home charger cable into the USB connector on the back of your device and the
charger into the AC outlet.
Via the computer
• Connect your device to the computer by using the provided USB cable. For more
information, see "Connecting your device to the computer" in this section.
CAUTION:
For optimal performance of the lithium battery, note the following:
• Do not charge the battery where the temperature is high (e.g. in direct sunlight).
• The battery will stop charging when the ambient temperature is less than -10ºC (14ºF) or
more than 60ºC (140ºF).
• Recharge the battery when it is nearly discharged. When recharging, make sure that the
battery is fully charged. Doing so can extend the battery life.
• If you will not use the product for a long period of time (over one month) or find the
discharge/recharge time has been shortened, be sure to fully discharge the battery first
before recharging it. You are also advised to fully discharge and recharge the battery once
every 1~2 months.

2. Ensure that the magnets are aligned with the sensing area on the sensors.
3. When done, you can pair the sensor with your device by tapping:
Main menu > Settings > Sensors > Cadence/Speed
Note: the sensors “sleep” when not in use to conserve battery power. They “wake up” when they
receive their usual input - the Speed/Cadence sensor must “see” a magnet passing it a few times to
wake up. The sensor can only be paired within a few minutes of “waking up”, or it goes back to
sleep.
Putting on the heart rate monitor
The ANT+ heart rate monitor is used for Magellan Cyclo 505 only. A Bluetooth heart rate monitor
can be used for both Magellan Cyclo 500 and 505.
Note: Please note the heart rate monitor is not a medical device and its readings are not a substitute
for obtaining measurements that require medical precision. It is strongly recommended to consult a
doctor if you have a pacemaker or other implanted devices before using the heart rate monitor.
1. Before using the heart rate monitor, wet the contacts on the back of the chest strap. You can also
use an electrolyte gel (usually available in local sports stores) to ensure good contact.
2. Adjust the elastic strap so it’s snug while you are putting it on. Ensure that you can take a good
deep breath after putting on the strap.
3. Follow the instructions below to wrap the strap around your back, and then secure it on the other
side with the buckle.

Customizing your device
Note: Depending on your Cyclo model, certain setting options may not be available.
There are various customization options available to enhance your navigation and cycling
experience. With the Settings menu, you will be able to customise your device such as the system
settings, sensor settings, user profiles, map settings, and more.
Profiles
Profiles let you configure the device for multiple types of bikes and trainers, each with their own
sensors. Each profile contains information about the user, the type of bike or equipment, the
sensors used, and so forth.
As an example, you might have two or more bikes, each having its own profile. You might also have a
running profile. Each of the bikes would probably have its own speed/cadence sensor. However, any
of those profiles that use a heart rate sensor would probably share the same sensor.
Creating a new profile
From Main menu > Settings > Profiles you can create and edit profiles. The Profile entry screen
displays the existing profile(s). You can set up to 6 profiles. Note that the profile type cannot be
edited after creating and saving the profile. All other profile information is editable.
Routing

Sensors
Available sensors vary by model.
Sensor visibility is determined by type of selected profile - for example, a Running profile shows only
the heart rate sensor, regardless of what other sensors may work with your device.
Sensor settings apply to the currently selected profile. The main screen icons for each sensor or
function are only displayed when the sensor or function is enabled in the currently selected profile.
About sensors
The sensors “sleep” when not in use to conserve battery power. They “wake up” when they receive
their usual input. For example, the Heart Rate Monitor’s pads must firmly touch your skin for the
sensor to wake up. The sensor can only be paired while they are awake. If a sensor stops receiving
input, it goes back to sleep after a few minutes.
Pairing a sensor
When you pair a sensor, Cyclo stores the sensor ID and the
name you assign it for connection purposes.
1. To pair a sensor, go to the Settings > Sensors screen,
and make sure the desired sensor is enabled. (Green
checkmark)
2. Tap the sensor button to see the Sensors page for that
sensor.
3. It will show the ID for the sensor of that type most
recently paired. Tap Pair new sensor to start pairing the sensor.
Once the connection is made, the sensor ID will be displayed in the Connected Sensor ID field. On
the main screen, the appropriate icon / / / will display in the title bar.
22 | P a g e
For models with Indoor mode, you can pair your Cyclo with compatible trainers. The Trainer sensor
is only available when an Indoor profile is active.
Note: The next time you start pairing to a sensor, it will attempt to pair to the last sensor paired. To
connect to a different sensor, tap Pair new sensor.
