I originally used them with an 800 and the "setting of angles" is done by ensuring that the batteries have been removed for >10secs to clear the memory of the pods, then spinning up to >90rpm for a minute or so, levelling the cranks so both pods are downwards and performing a static calibration.
you are then supposed to do a dynamic calibration performed by back pedalling smoothly over 30rpm for 8-10 revs until a message pops up saying "Power Sensor Calibrated”
apparently this supposed to be done every ride, although the battery out bit can probably be left to when moving the pedals between bikes...

@BeaconJon @TTM Yep, i have a single sided first generation vector pedal (braces for barrage of pisstake) - i wanted something i could quickly and easily shift between bikes and, at the time, was needing something relatively cheap.
I think they're fine tbh, the installation and pairing is easy, and they give me something to train to.
On a side note - @Sainsburys_Ed I have been uncertain about the setting of angles correctly sometimes. All the guides about doing this are for edge 810 / 510 and i have an 800. They say that you need to spin up to 90rpm and you then get a message saying 'vector installed' or 'angles set' or something.
However, I don't get this on my 800 as it's a pre-vector product so I don't think the software can do it or something. I still always do the spinning up to 90rpm etc etc but don't get the message on screen, and just hope it works; the results on the next ride are always realistic so i assume it's all fine.
Do you have any comments / feedback / advice on this?
