Connecting to Sensors
Sensors include power meters, heart rate monitors,
smart phones, or any other wireless transmitting device
that use ANT+ or Bluetooth® to transfer data.
For the Dash to find and connect to a sensor during a
ride, the sensor must first be paired to the current
Activity Profile. Once a sensor is paired to an activity
profile, the Dash will remember it until it has been
deleted from the activity profile’s sensor list.
When pairing a sensor, first select the Activity Profile in
which you will be using the sensor.
To select a different Activity Profile, see Changing
Activity Profiles.
Bluetooth and ANT+ Sensors
1. The Dash can be paired to Bluetooth and ANT+
sensors, including power meters, heart rate
monitors, speed and cadence sensors, as well as
smart trainers and other bio-sensors. To pair to
a Bluetooth or ANT+ sensor:
2. First activate or wake the sensor up
• Heart rate monitor: Put the sensor on.
• Speed/Cadence sensors: Either move or
pass by the corresponding magnet.
• Power meter: Rotate the sensor.
3. Go to Main Menu > Activity Sensors > Add
Sensor > BLE or ANT Sensors.
• A list of sensors available to the Dash
will populate
4. Select a sensor and then choose from the
following options:
• Cancel: Cancels selection and sensor
will not be added.
• Confirm: Adds sensor to the currently
selected activity profile.
• Enabled Activities: Adds sensor to all
currently enabled activity profiles.
• Add to All: Adds sensor to every activity
profile.
Manual Entry
ANT+ sensors have simple ANT+ IDs that can be entered
and saved to the Dash without using the search
function. If the sensor has a visible ANT+ ID, it can be
added directly into the activity sensors list:
1. Go to: Main Menu > Activity Sensors > Add
Sensors > Manual Entry.
2. Select Sensor Type, then use the arrow buttons
to select the correct sensor category.
3. Press the enter button to confirm selection, then
select Confirm.
4. Locate the ANT+ ID number on your sensor and
enter it into the number field.
• Use the arrow buttons to change the digit
and then use the enter button to advance to
the next digit.

Stages Power Meter
Stages Power Meters paired to Dash have additional
functionality available explained in the following
sections:
NFC Tap to Pair
You can pair your Stages Power meter via BLE, ANT+, or
NFC (tap to pair). To use tap to pair:
1. Go to: Main Menu > Activity Sensors > Add
Sensors.
2. Touch the back of the Dash to your Stages Power
meter.
3. Wait for the beep to confirm the pairing is
completed.
Dual Channel Reception
When you pair to a Stages Power Meter, the Dash
automatically pairs to BLE and ANT simultaneously and
records data from both to ensure the best data
connectivity. If you wish to use a 3rd party app to
connect to a Stages Power Meter via Bluetooth, you will
need to disable the Bluetooth connection to your power
meter.
To enable or disable the Bluetooth connect, go to: Main
Menu > Activity Sensors > Select Stages Power Meter >
Bluetooth > Enabled / Disabled
High Speed
High speed mode is a special feature available only on
Stages Power meters connected via Bluetooth®. It is not
recommended to use this mode for normal riding, as it
will drain battery from the power meter quickly and
uses up a significant amount of memory on the Dash. It
is most useful for brief recordings, such as analyzing
short efforts (e.g. durations under 3 minutes).
To turn high speed mode on or off, go to: Main Menu >
Activity Settings > Select Activity Profile > High Speed
Zero Resetting a Power Meter
The zero reset process, also referred to as calibration or
zero offset calibration, resets the zero value on your
power meter for improved accuracy. Please refer to the
manufacturer for instructions on the zero reset process
for your power meter. To initiate a zero reset from the
Dash:
1. Ensure sensor is transmitting and paired to Dash.
• For a Stages Power meter, orient the power
meter vertically with no weight on the pedals.
2. Select Zero Reset from the home screen, or go to:
Main Menu > Activity Sensors > Select Power
Sensor > Zero Reset.
3. A screen prompt will return Success with the
value(s) from the power meter or Failure if it
cannot complete the zero reset process.
Sensors Already Saved to Dash
Once a sensor is paired to any activity profile, it will
appear in the list of saved devices found here: Main
Menu > Activity Sensors > Add Sensor > Saved Sensors.
A previously paired sensor does not need to be present
to pair to an additional Activity Profile. Simply select it
from this list and the sensor will be added to the current
activity profile. Sensors already paired to Dash will not
appear in ANT or BLE search lists!
Riding with Dash
Start a Ride
First confirm that the desired Activity Profile is selected
and listed under the word Ride on the home screen. If
not, see Changing Activity Profiles.
• Press the button to begin recording.
• During a ride, all the settings in the current Activity
Profile apply; see Activity Profiles for more
information.
Pausing a Ride
Pressing the start/stop button will manually pause
the ride. When a ride is paused, no data is recorded
from sensors, so all averages and totals will not change.
This can be useful when stopping for longer periods.
• To resume a ride, simply press start/stop again
or select Resume Ride from the on screen
message.
10
• After being paused for a long duration, the Dash
will automatically go to sleep. Press / to
wake up the Dash and resume the ride where
you left off or save the ride if it has already
been completed.
• All previously recorded data will be retained
upon entering sleep mode and can be saved or
deleted by ending the activity. However, after 3
hours of sleep, the Dash will save the current
ride and power off completely.
See Also: Sleep
Note: Manually pausing a ride with the start/stop
button is slightly different than pauses triggered by
conditions in the ride, see Data Recording for more
information.
Ending a Ride
Pressing will display a Ride Paused on screen
message with the following options:
• Resume Ride: Continues recording ride.
• End Ride and Save: Displays a brief ride summary
and saves the activity to memory. Once ride is
saved, a more in-depth summary of the ride is
available that can be navigated using arrow
buttons .
• End Ride and Delete: Discards the ride from
memory, returns to home screen.
Laps
Laps allow the rider to keep track of specific segments
of a ride through use of the lap button . At ride start,
the first lap also starts recording Lap Totals and
Averages. Each time the rider presses the lap button,
the lap re-starts and begins recording averages and
totals from the beginning of the current lap. Laps are
very useful for riding a workout, as well as keeping track
of more specific parts of rides, such as pacing up a
climb.
• Upon pressing the lap button, a new lap will begin
automatically and any lap-based data fields will
restart to include only the current lap.
• A small summary of the previous lap will be shown
with an overlay message.
• All lap data will be saved into the ride file for post-
ride evaluation.
Navigation in Ride
Viewing Data Pages
By default, all rides begin on Page 1. Use the arrow
buttons during a ride to change data pages in the
current Activity Profile.
Accessing the Ride Menu in a Ride
The settings that can be changed are available in a
smaller Ride menu.
• To access the Ride Menu during a ride, Press
to Pause the Ride > Ride Menu.
• To exit the Ride Menu and return to the ride
screen, press the lap button or select Ride.
From the Ride Menu, you can:
• Manage sensors

• Adjust Recording Settings
• Change Alerts
• Change Units
• Enable/Disable High Speed Mode
Note: Not all Main Menu options are available in a
ride.
Ride Data Recording
Ride data is recorded to the Dash as frequently as it is
available. For more information on when data recording
is paused, see Data Recording. The Stages .rde file,
when used with Stages Link, allows more data than
standard file formats to be saved. See .fit Export for
conversion to the industry standard FIT file.
Data Pages
Data Pages consist of up to 16 fields of customizable
size and content. Each activity profile is allowed up to 5
11
data pages, with a wide range of configuration options
to view all of your preferred data metrics with ease.
Editing Pages
All pages in an activity profile can be customized by
changing the field size, metric, span, and totaling of the
field. Data pages can be edited within the unit, as well
as in Stages Link in the Dash Manager Tab. Configuring
pages in Stages Link is a simple process that allows for
you to preview each configuration before syncing them
to the Dash.
To edit pages of the current Activity Profile, go to: Main
Menu > Activity Settings > Edit Pages
See Also: Changing Activity Profile
Split Screen Mode
Creates data pages with a split view so that half of the
screen stays the same while the other half changes as
you change pages. Note that split screen mode
permanently changes the layout of your data pages, so
it is recommended to set up an Activity Profile
dedicated to this mode before using this option.
To enable split screen mode, go to: Main Menu >
Activity Settings > Select Activity Profile > Edit Pages >
Split Scn > On
Orientation
Page layout can be set to Landscape or Portrait.

Span
Span is the period of time over which the metric is
calculated. Some metrics include limited options for
Span, while the full list of span options includes:
• 1 Second
• 3 Second
• 10 Second (Power and Heart Rate)
• 30 Second (Power and Heart Rate)
• 1 Minute
• 1 Hour (kJs, Calories, TSS, T-Score)
• Lap
• Ride
14
Span is indicated in the data field unless it is for Ride or
1s, for those metrics by convention span is left out as it
is clear if the data pertains to the whole ride or is
instantaneously changing.
Totaling
Totaling is the way in which a metric is calculated over
the setting span. List of possible totaling values:
• Average: The average rate of a metric over the
selected span, e.g.: 3s Average Power.
• Maximum: The maximum average of the metric
over the selected span, e.g.: Max 30s Power.
• Total: The accumulated total amount of a metric
over the selected span, e.g.: kJs in this Lap.
• Per H: The rate at which something is accumulating
in an hour (kJs, Calories, TSS, T-Score) , e.g.:
Calories per Hour.
For example, if the metric Power is selected, and the
Span selected is 1 minute, Totaling could show either a
current 1 minute average or a maximum 1 minute
power achieved during the ride.
Editing Data Fields

automatically end after completing the duration or to
continue until lap press. At any point during any lap,
you can advance from the current lap to the next lap of
the workout by pressing the lap button .
Breadcrumb Trail
The breadcrumb trail is a widget that can be added to a
data page which shows the path ridden so far in the
ride. This can be useful for finding your way back to the
start.
Altitude Profile
The altitude profile shows an altitude plot of your
current ride.
Training Zones
Training zones divide up levels of effort into categories
based on physiological effects of each intensity level.
Zones are used when programming specific workout
targets and can be set separately for both power and
heart rate. You can utilize training zones when training
with a power meter or heart rate monitor.
To edit or view training zones for power or heart rate,
go to: Main Menu > Zones.
Power Zones
Power zones are calculated based on percentage of
your Functional Threshold Power (FTP) and are
commonly used for workout targets in order to give a
range of intensity for an interval.
To view or edit your power zone settings, go to: Main
Menu > Zones > Power.
Setting FTP
Functional Threshold Power (FTP) is the maximum
wattage you can sustain for a long duration, usually 1
hour. This number is the basis for setting your power
training zones and calculating several power based
metrics, such as TSS, T-Score, and IF. If you are training
with a power meter, you should enter an FTP value
here.
To update your FTP setting, go to: Main Menu > Zones
> Power > FTP.
See Also: Small Number Editor
Power Zone Calculation Method
The Dash comes preloaded with two options for
calculating power training zones based on FTP.
To update your zone calculation preference, go to:
Main Menu > Zones > Power > Method > Stages or
Coggan.

Heart Rate Zones
Heart rate zones are calculated based on percentage of
your Functional Threshold Heart Rate (FThr) and are
commonly used for workout targets in order to give a
range of intensity for an interval.
To view or edit heart rate zone settings, go to: Main
Menu > Zones > Heart Rate.
Setting FThr
Functional threshold heart rate (FThr) is an
approximation of your highest sustainable heart rate for
an hour effort. This number is the basis for setting your
heart rate training zones, as well as calculating several
heart rate based metrics that can be displayed in your
16
data fields. If you are training with a heart rate monitor,
you should enter an FThr value here.
To enter your FThr, go to: Main Menu > Zones > Heart
Rate > FThr.
See Also: Small Number Editor

20min Test
If you do not know your FTP or FThr, you can choose the
20min Test from the Workouts list in order to calculate
your values. This is a commonly used test to estimate
functional threshold power by performing a 20-minute
all-out effort. This test will require the usage of a power
meter or a heart rate monitor.
• For FTP, your FTP will be 95% of your 20min power
average.
• For FThr, your FThr will be your highest 20min
average heart rate.
To perform the test, go to: Main Menu > Workouts >
Select Workout > 20min Test.
Estimate FTP or FThr
If you are new to training with a power meter or heart
rate monitor, Stages Link will estimate your values
during account creation. When you are ready, we
recommend performing a threshold test. Having an
accurate threshold value will assure that training zones
and other metrics are calculated correctly.
