8.8 Turning the power meter on and off
1. Turn it off: Plug the big end of your USB cable into the charging unit. Open the USB port
cover on the power meter, plug the small end of the USB cable into the USB port and remove
it within two seconds again!
2. Turn it on: Plug the big end of your USB cable into the charging unit. Open the USB port
cover on the power meter, plug the small end of the USB cable into the USB port and wait
until the green LED indicator light turns on. After approximately five seconds, the red LED
indicator light blinks (charging). Then the power meter is turned on.
Please note: When transporting your bicycle, the power2max NG power meter is activated.
Therefore, it is recommended to turn off the power meter for longer transports. You should
generally turn it off when transporting your bike in a plane.
8.9 After a crash
As a spider-based power meter, the power2max NG power meter is located in a place where crash
forces are usually completely absorbed by the crank and bottom bracket. Therefore, crash damage to
a power2max NG power meter is almost impossible.
In the interest of your own security and health, you should do the following checks after a crash:
1. Please check if the crankarms have sustained any damage. (The crankarms could suffer from
hairline fractures that you may eventually not recognize at first glance, but which could
result in sudden failure over time. Therefore, replacement is recommended.
2. Please check if anything is rattling around the crankset or the bottom bracket. This can be an
indication of damage.
3. Examine all mechanical connections.
9 Maintenance and care
1. The USB cover should be checked occasionally to see whether it is seated correctly and, if
necessary, it should be replaced so that the USB socket maintains its waterproof seal.
2. After longer rides in the rain, please examine if water has penetrated the USB cover. Should
this be the case, allow this area to dry out while the USB cover is off. You can assist in this
process by using an absorbent cloth.
3. Do not use thinners or solvents to clean your power2max NG power meter. Use clear water
or soapy water and a soft sponge or rag.
4. PLEASE NOTE: Do not clean your power meter with a high-pressure power hose!

products in general household garbage. Separate these products from other garbage in order not to
damage people’s health or the environment due to uncontrolled garbage disposal and in order to
