A short description on where to find the proper firmware and how to update the Power Pilot to the latest version.

Upgrade process for your Lemond Power Pilot

  1. Load the firmware file (FB611.hex) onto your USB flash drive using your PC.
    Note: We recommend that only LeMond Power Pilot data be present on the flash drive during this process as we cannot guarantee the integrity of data not related to the Power Pilot.
  2. Open the battery compartment on the back of the Power Pilot using a phillips-head screwdriver and remove both batteries.
  3. Insert your flash drive into the USB port on the right side of the Power Pilot.
  4. Re-install the batteries into the Power Pilot. Your Power Pilot will reboot with a blank screen 4. followed by all icons being displayed at once. This indicates that the firmware is updating.                                         image
  5. When the firmware is updated your Power Pilot will automatically boot into Pairing mode and the word “Pair” will be displayed.
    Note: If your Power Pilot does not boot into pairing mode your firmware is up to date.
  6. Press the HR/KCAL button to initiate the pairing process and pedal your bike on the Revolution to activate the sensors. “Pair” will blink on the display during the pairing process. Once pairing process is complete the sensor ID’s.image

If you do not exit settings mode in this fashion your changes will be lost.
