SNAP power spikes or dropouts

1. Close all apps and reopen only target app.

The SNAP is only able to connect to one app or device at a time. 

  1. Close all apps on your phone or tablet, and power down and ideally unplug all other wireless devices capable of communicating with the trainer in your space.
  2. Then re-open only the app you wish to use to control the trainer.

2. Reset (power cycle) trainer

Sometimes the trainer may get stuck with a previous connection that you have closed. In this instance, you should hard reset the trainer.

Wahoo trainers do not have a power button. To reset the trainer's control chip, unplug it for 30-35 seconds.

It can be a good idea to restart the desired controlling app again during this reset period.

3. Connect the trainer to the Wahoo app

If you have been trying to connect to a different app, try connecting the trainer to the Wahoo app

If the app you were trying to pair to initially was the Wahoo app, skip this step.

4. Check for a firmware update, and if available, update.

See Firmware update process + troubleshooting

Once updated, or if already updated:

  1.  Force close the Wahoo app
  2. With the Wahoo app closed, unplug the trainer for 30-35 seconds
  3. Plug the trainer back in, and re-open your preferred app.

5. Signal interference

If you find your trainer's speed or power data is still unexpectedly fluctuating, dropping to zero or spiking, it is most likely a result of signal interference.

6. Check for and clean the optical tape on the SNAP
