Pedal-Based PowerVector measures pedal-based power.Vector measures the force you apply a few hundred times everysecond. Vector also measures your cadence or rotationalpedaling speed. By measuring the force, the direction of force,the rotation of the crank arm, and time, Vector can determinepower (watts). Because Vector independently measures left andright leg power, it reports your left-right power balance.NOTE: The Vector S system does not provide left-right powerbalance.Cycling DynamicsCycling dynamics metrics measure how you apply powerthroughout the pedal stroke, and where you apply power on thepedal, allowing you to understand your particular way of riding.Understanding how and where you produce power allows you totrain more efficiently and evaluate your bike fit.NOTE: You must have a dual sensing Edge system to usecycling dynamics metrics.For more information, go to www.garmin.com/performance-data.Using Cycling DynamicsBefore you can use cycling dynamics, you must pair the Vectorpower meter with your device (Pairing Your Wireless Sensors,page 16).NOTE: Recording cycling dynamics uses additional devicememory.1 Go for a ride.2 Scroll to the cycling dynamics screen to view your powerphase data , total power , and platform center offset .3 If necessary, hold a data field to change it (Adding a DataScreen, page 19).NOTE: The two data fields at the bottom of the screen can becustomized.You can send the ride to the Garmin Connect app to viewadditional cycling dynamics data (Sending Your Ride to GarminConnect, page 18).Power Phase DataPower phase is the pedal stroke region (between the start crankangle and the end crank angle) where you produce positivepower.Platform Center OffsetPlatform center offset is the location on the pedal platform whereyou apply force.Updating the Vector Software Using the Edge DeviceBefore you can update the software, you must pair your Edgedevice with your Vector system.1 Send your ride data to your Garmin Connect account(Sending Your Ride to Garmin Connect, page 18).Garmin Connect automatically looks for software updatesand sends them to your Edge device.2 Bring your Edge device within range (3 m) of the sensor.3 Rotate the crank arm a few times. The Edge device promptsyou to install all pending software updates.4 Follow the on-screen instructions.Situational AwarenessYour Edge device can be used with the Varia Vision™ device,Varia™ smart bike lights, and rearview radar to improvesituational awareness. See the owner's manual for your Variadevice for more information.NOTE: You may need to update the Edge software beforepairing Varia devices (Updating the Software Using GarminExpress, page 22).Using Electronic ShiftersBefore you can use compatible electronic shifters, such asShimano®Di2™ shifters, you must pair them with your device(Pairing Your Wireless Sensors, page 16). You can customizethe optional data fields (Adding a Data Screen, page 19). TheEdge 830 device displays current adjustment values when thesensor is in adjustment mode.Using an eBikeBefore you can use a compatible eBike, such as a ShimanoSTEPS™ eBike, you must pair it with your device (Pairing YourWireless Sensors, page 16). You can customize the optionaleBike data screen and data fields (Adding a Data Screen,page 19).Viewing eBike Sensor Details1 Select > Settings > Sensors.2 Select your eBike.3 Select an option:• To view eBike details, such as the odometer or traveldistance, select Sensor Details > eBike Details.• To view eBike error messages, select .See the eBike owner's manual for more information.HistoryHistory includes time, distance, calories, speed, lap data,elevation, and optional ANT+ sensor information.NOTE: History is not recorded while the timer is stopped orpaused.When the device memory is full, a message appears. Thedevice does not automatically delete or overwrite your history.Upload your history to Garmin Connect periodically to keep trackof all your ride data.Viewing Your Ride1 Select > History > Rides.2 Select a ride.3 Select an option.Viewing Your Time in Each Training ZoneBefore you can view your time in each training zone, you mustpair your device with a compatible heart rate monitor or powermeter, complete an activity, and save the activity.Viewing your time in each heart rate and power zone can helpyou adjust your training intensity. You can adjust your powerzones (Setting Your Power Zones, page 16) and your heart ratezones (Setting Your Heart Rate Zones, page 15) to match yourgoals and abilities. You can customize a data field to displayyour time in training zones during your ride (Adding a DataScreen, page 19).1 Select > History > Rides.2 Select a ride.History 17
