In order to connect the crank to the computer, a
USB ANT+ stick is necessary. Contact your ROTOR
retailer or local distributor to acquire one.
Read the user manual before opening the
battery cap. Opening the battery cap is only
recommended when it is necessary to change
the battery or uninstall the cranks. Inadequate
handling of the battery cap can damage the O-ring
and the seal.
How do I replace the battery?
Read the user manual for correct battery
replacement.
The positive side must be facing outward.
The battery model and polarity are printed on the
inside of the plastic cap.
Can I use rechargeable batteries?
Yes, you can use them if they are AA batteries with
1.5 V.
Battery life depends on the manufacturer and
model. Rechargeable batteries usually have a
lower life, which is reduced even further the more
you recharge them.
My battery seems swollen or shows signs of
corrosion.
Discard damaged batteries immediately. Using
damaged batteries can damage the electronic
parts inside the axle and void the warranty.
If I usually connect my INpower to the User
Software running on the computer, is the battery
life still 300 hours?
If fast mode is active (only possible with User
Software), battery consumption is higher due to the
higher frequency of data emission required by the
TORQUE 360 graph.

Always disconnect the power meter when closing
the program to make sure that fast mode is off.
How can I clean my INpower cranks? Are they
waterproof?
INpower is waterproof. It has successfully passed
IPX7 level.
Nevertheless, do not clean your power meter
with high pressure and avoid direct impact on the
joints.
Do not use solvents or degreasers; they can
damage some power meter elements.
Make sure that the O-ring is correctly placed in the
cap after every battery replacement.
How can I update the firmware for my cranks?
How often do I have to update the firmware?
ROTOR sometimes offers new versions of the
firmware in order to improve previous versions.
The update process is wireless; to complete this
you will need to download the User Software from
the ROTOR website.
To connect the crank to the computer, a USB
ANT+™ stick is needed. Contact your ROTOR
retailer or local distributor to acquire one.
What happens if there is an error while updating
the firmware?
If any error occurs during the updating process,
your cranks will keep functioning normally with the
previously-installed firmware. If the update process
begins and the program detects any problem, the
process will restart a maximum of 5 times before
cancelling the update.
It is recommended to place the USB ANT+™ stick
as close to the cranks as possible for better radio
signal reception.
