Install Batteries

STEP 1

)

Computer — (Note: Battery is pre-installed) Remove the battery
cover from the bottom of the computer using a small coin.

Install the 3V battery with positive (+) pole facing the cover
(Figure 1a). If the LCD shows irregular gures, take out the
battery and install again. This will clear and restart the computer’s
microprocessor.

Battery is pre-installed.

Wheel Transmitter - (Note: Battery is pre-installed) Install the 12V
battery in the wheel transmitter with the positive (+) pole facing
the battery cap. Re-install the cap with a small coin and be sure it
is tight to prevent moisture leakage (Figure 1b).

Clamp the magnet onto the spoke of front wheel and attach
the transmitter to the right fork (right side when you stand in
front of bicycle) by using the cable ties as shown in Fig. 2.

The silver arrow on the transmitter must face towards the

d

xx

c

Press the Right Button to adjust the value of the rst
digit of the Wheel Factor. Once you have entered the
correct value, press the Left Button to conrm the value
and advance to the next digit. Repeat for all four digits.
Press the Left Button to advance to KM/MILE selection.

KM/MILES SELECTION: After wheel size has been input,
the Km/Miles units for distance and speed will ash.
Press the RIGHT button to choose between Kilometer
(KM) and Mile (M), press the LEFT button to conrm.

Press and hold LEFT and RIGHT buttons for
4 seconds to access wheel size input mode.
Note all information in computer will be erased.

The digits on the bottom row will ash. The
value you need to enter into the computer is
the Wheel Factor. Wheel

Factor is the circumference of the wheel in
mm. To obtain Wheel Factor:

1) Fast (and not so accurate) Method — use
chart provided.

2) Most accurate method:
a) See gure 8.
b) Inate your tires to proper pressure
c) Put a mark on the outside circumference

of your front wheel (use masking tape)
d) Put a mark on the oor.
e) Put the mark on the wheel on the mark on

the oor.
f) Rotate the wheel one full revolution until

the mark on the wheel is on the oor

again. Mark this spot on the oor.
g) Measure the distance between the marks

on the oor in mm. This is your wheel

factor (i.e. your wheel circumference).

Clock (12H/24H): A 12 or 24-hour digital clock is displayed on the
third row of the screen. After Km/mile selection in setup mode,
the 12h/24h will ash. Press the RIGHT button to switch between
the 12 and 24-hour format.

Press the LEFT button to conrm and advance to the clock mode.
Press the RIGHT button to advance the hours (hold RIGHT button

the RIGHT button to advance minutes (hold RIGHT button for fast
advance). Press LEFT button to conrm minutes and advance to
“Maintenance Required Function”.

Maintenance Required Function: On the top left hand side a
wrench icon will be displayed, just below the wrench the KM
(or miles — M) will be displayed and the top row digits will be
ashing. The digits represent the distance interval in KM (or miles)
that the wrench icon will start ashing to remind you to perform
maintenance on your bicycle. You can choose a maintenance
reminder for every 200, 400, 600 and 800 KM (or miles). If 600
KM is chosen, the wrench will ash every 600, 1200, 1800 KM (or
miles), etc. Press the LEFT button to stop the wrench ( ) from
ashing. Press LEFT button to conrm maintenance interval and
exit setup mode.

ODOMETER: To set the odometer
(ODO) after battery replacement
and wheel size setting, press RIGHT
button to advance to ODO mode
and then hold LEFT button for 5
seconds until the last digit of the
ODO is ashing. To adjust the value,
press the RIGHT button and then
press the LEFT button to conrm
and select the value. Repeat this
sequence to reach the desired
odometer value.

Cadence: Current Cadence ( RPM) is shown on the Top Row
of the screen.

Cadence is the rotational speed of your cranks in RPM (revolutions
per minute). When the “Brackets” around the Crank Icon are
ashing ( ) ( ) the computer is getting a Cadence signal.

To see (Average Cadence RPM) press the left button and
Average Cadence will be displayed (FLASHING) for 4 seconds.

Speed Comparator: A “+” or “-” sign appears on the second line,
to the right of the SPD icon. A “+” indicates you are traveling faster
than your average speed (AVS). A “-” indicates you are riding
slower than your average speed.

Speed Tendency (Acceleration & Deceleration): A cyclist icon
appears on the second row of the display. The wheels turn
forward to indicate acceleration, and turn backwards to indicate
deceleration.

ADDITIONAL FUNCTION MODES

Maintenance Reminder Functions: The Maintenance Required
Function lets you know when you need to do scheduled
maintenance on your bicycle — for instance re-oil your chain after
a pre-set distance is reached. The Maintenance Require Icon ( )
will appear when maintenance is required.

During setup you can set the preset maintenance reminder function
to 200, 400, 600 or 800 miles (or Km). If 600 KM is chosen, the
wrench will ash every 600, 1200, 1800 KM (or miles), etc.

Press the LEFT button to stop the wrench (ICON) from ashing.

Scan Mode (SCAN): Scan mode allows you to see all screens
without pressing any button. Each screen will be displayed for
4 seconds. Press the RIGHT button until the SCAN icon is displayed
on the left hand side of the 2nd row. Press the RIGHT button to stop
SCAN mode — note SCAN mode is ON only when SCAN is shown
on the screen.

Clock (CLK): A 12/24-hour clock is displayed on the third row.

Speedometer (SPD): Instantaneous Speed is displayed in the 2nd
row. The range of measurement is from 0 to 99KM/hr (0 to 99M/hr)
and accuracy is + /-0.5KM/hr (M/hr).

Odometer (ODO): Total distance traveled (ODO) is displayed on
the bottom row. To reset ODO, press and hold

LEFT and RIGHT buttons for 5 seconds or remove the battery.

Tripometer (DST): Trip distance (DST) is displayed on the third
row. Tripometer is activated automatically with speedometer
input. Reset DST (Go to DST screen — SCAN OFF) to zero by
pressing the LEFT button for 2 seconds.

NOTE: TM (Trip Time) and AVS (Average Speed) will also be reset.

Maximum Speed (MXS): Maximum Speed (MXS) is displayed
on the bottom row. Maximum speed is stored in memory and
updates only when a higher speed is reached. To reset maximum
speed, press and hold the LEFT button in the MXS display screen
for 2 seconds.

AddiTiOnAL FUnCTiOn MOdES

Average Speed (AVS): Average Speed (AVS) is displayed on the third row.
AVS is calculated using the Trip Timer and Tripometer.

Trip Timer (TM): Trip Timer (TM) is displayed on the bottom row. Trip Timer
is activated automatically with speedometer input (when the front wheel is
turning). It records only the time spent actually riding. To reset TM to zero
press and hold the LEFT button in the TM display screen for 2 seconds.

NOTE: DST (Tripometer) and AVS (Average Speed) will also be reset.

Auto Start / Stop: To prolong battery life, the computer will automatically
switch off if the unit is left unused for more than 5 or 6 minutes. Display
will reappear with a press on either button.
