Water resistance notice The Stages™ power meter is designed to provide excellent water resistance and tested to resist water ingress to the IPX8 standard (2 meters depth for 30min). This provides outstanding water resistance for cycling conditions on-road and off, including stream crossing and heavy rain. Please keep in mind this is an electronic device not a submarine; as such, there are limits to the water resistance. Do not subject the power meter to direct spray from a high pressure sprayer.
Power meter (crank arm) installation IMPORTANT NOTICE: to insure power meter compatibility with the frame and components, please follow these steps carefully and in the specific order. Do not install the pedals until compatibility of the power meter has been confirmed. 1. Attach the left crank arm to the bike following the instructions provided by the crank arm manufacturer and supplied with your power meter.
Pairing the power meter The power meter must be connected or “paired” to the cycle computer or mobile device (collectively referred to as display units) according to the display manufacturer’s instructions. Each power meter has a unique ANT+ device ID and a unique Bluetooth ID. During the pairing process the applicable device ID is recorded by the display and will be used to communicate with the corresponding power meter.
Zero offset The zero offset is an important feature of the power meter that resets the zero offset value for the power meter sensors. There are physical and environmental conditions that may affect the zero offset value and there are methods both manual and automatic that will adjust this value to accommodate for the changing physical and environmental condition.
Before attempting to reset the zero offset value of the power meter, ensure that a fully charged battery is in use. Rotate the power meter one revolution to ensure the power meter is awake and ready to communicate. The left crank arm with power meter MUST be positioned straight down (6 o’clock position) and ensure there is no load on the pedals and the bike is stable. See FIG 8 for a visual reference. If the left crank arm is not straight down the reset procedure for zero offset will fail.

Firmware Firmware is the programming that operates the power meter’s computer. The power meter has been designed to allow over-the-air (OTA) firmware updates. Updated firmware may be developed and released by Stages Cycling to provide added or improved functionality. Firmware updates may be sent to the power meter by way of the Stages Cycling Utility App for Apple® iOS devices using a Bluetooth Smart compatible (BLE 4.0) model such as the iPhone® 4s, 5 or newer and iPad® 3, Mini or newer.
Troubleshooting If no power (watts) or cadence (RPM) signal is being received by your compatible display unit when ridding the bike, please confirm the following items: 1. Confirm that a fully charged CR2032 battery is properly installed in the power meter according to the reference FIGs 1-5 of this manual. 2. Ensure that the power meter has been successfully paired to the display unit being used according the manufacturer’s specific instructions. 3.
Warranty procedures Complete warranty details are available in our Important Product Details document and at our website FAQ page: http://www.stagescycling.com/support The Stages power meter is considered to be the entire left crank arm, not just the electronics and housing mounted to the crank arm. As such customers are instructed to contact their retailer or Stages Cycling directly for all warranty claims related to the left crank arm power meter.
