    • If multiple activity profiles that use a power meter exist, ensure that the Force Vector Viewer data field is set to at least one of the data screens for each profile. Otherwise, your data may not be logged.
    • The information displayed on the Force Vector Viewer data field varies depending on the display size. To display all the items available, set the number of split screens to 1 to display in full screen. Also, multiple data fields can be displayed on the same training page or on different training pages.
    • Power, cadence, and left-right balance received from the power meter connected in [Force Vector] mode are displayed only on the Force Vector Viewer data field. Note that specifications do not allow them to be displayed in normal individual data fields (all the items related to power, cadence, and left-right balance). The information received from the power meter in [Cycling Power] mode or [Bicycle Power] mode can be displayed in normal individual data fields.

    This completes the setup.
    Ride the bicycle to see if the data is displayed and logged correctly.

  11. STEP 11

    Start recording an activity.

    * To upload your ride log to SHIMANO CONNECT Lab from this ride,
