Garmin Edge 500 not synching...

KnightOfTheLongTights

if that is the expression...
Got it secondhand off a club-mate, and the headset seems not to be picking up signal from the transmitter.
I've tried pressing the little button on the latter which goes green and red - and it seems to be flashing red with each revolution. But nothing occurring on the read-out.
There is a cadence sensor too and that is not connecting either.
And while we are here which is the magnetic side of the spoke magnet, the silver screw or the black bit?
Sorry I really know nowt about these things.

The magnet will be the black bit - see which end sticks to your fridge best!

As for the unit - make sure that the wheel magnet passes close to the sensor arm and that the body of the unit is close to the crank magnet (which you'll need to install to get cadence).

If all this is as it should be then maybe the sensor battery is flat. Should be able to get Garmin manuals on line.

thanks but have done all that pretty much ... manual not much help.

ah actually the manual was some help - I needed to 'rescan'... annoyance over, sorry.
