WELCOME.
Thank you for buying a Bontrager NODE™
computer. We hope this computer gives you
miles (or kilometers) of pleasure.
Please read this manual carefully. If you do not understand the information, or you
have a question that this manual does not cover, consult your Bontrager dealer or

Safety When Riding
When riding your bicycle, do not stare at the computer for a long time (Figure 1).
If you do not watch the road, you could hit an obstacle, which may cause you to
lose control and fall.

There are two models of NODE computer:
· NODE 1
· NODE 2
Either model can be used on two bicycles with different wheel sizes, yet still
calculate all the data correctly. You must set the wheel sizes and choose the
bike setting that is appropriate for that bike before you start riding.

Modes
The NODE computer has two modes:
· Ride
· Setting
Ride
This is the mode you will use when riding your bike. Ride mode (Figure 3)
displays the functions, the information gathered by the computer. This
information can be the current data (your current speed, the current
temperature, or data from other functions), or for some functions the NODE can
display your average, total, or minimum/maximum data. You can learn more
about each of these functions in the section that covers functions.
Setting
This is the mode you will use to prepare your computer for your rst ride, or to
set more advanced features. Setting mode (Figure 4) allows you to program the
computer, allowing you to choose the units you prefer (e.g. miles or kilometers),
input the correct time or altitude, or set alarms to alert you when you exceed
your chosen minimum or maximum heart rate. If the computer is left in Setting
mode, it automatically returns to the Ride mode.
Figure 3. Ride Mode.
Changing Modes
To toggle the Ride and Setting modes, hold
for three seconds (Figure 5).
Sleep (Standby)
If the sensors do not send a signal to the NODE for 20 minutes, the computer
goes into Standby to conserve battery power. After an additional 10 minutes, the
NODE switches to Off.

(3 sec)
Figure 5. Changing Modes.
Sensors
The NODE can compute information from four sensors:
· Cadence
· Speed
· Heart Rate
· Power
Not all NODE computers are packaged with all the sensors. If your bicycle
is appropriately equipped, you can purchase a combination speed/cadence
sensor. You can also customize your computer by purchasing additional
Bontrager NODE sensors or a power sensing system of your choice from your
Bontrager dealer.
Functions of Sensors
Sensors sense impulses, either from the passing of magnets that are attached
to a spoke or a crankarm, electrical impulses generated by the pumping of your
heart, or the impulses from a power meter. When the sensor senses input, it
sends a radio signal to the NODE computer. This signal has a range of about 5
feet (1.5 meters).
Sensors Require Power
Sensors require electrical power. Each sensor gets its own power from an
individual battery. If the battery loses power, the sensor will no longer send
signals to the computer.
Before Your First Ride
Pairing (Pair) Procedure
Before the NODE can display any data, it must identify each radio signal sent
by the sensors (Figure 6). This process, which takes about one minute, is called
“Pairing” (Pair). After the NODE creates a Pair, it remembers the signals, so
normally this only occurs once (during the initial set up).
Sensors only send signals when they are activated:
• The wheel must turn to activate the speed sensor
• The crankarm must rotate to activate the cadence sensor or the power sensor
• You must wear the chest strap to activate the heart rate sensor
During the Pairing procedure, the 0 of the speed display ashes. This procedure
can take up to 60 seconds. When it is complete, the icons for successfully
connected sensors display at the bottom of the screen. If an icon for a sensor
disappears, a pair was not created for that sensor.
Force Pair
The NODE only needs to perform the pair procedure once. If the Pair fails, or
later you add another sensor, you can also force the Pairing procedure:
In Ride mode, hold

and for three seconds while you make the sensors
(3 sec) (3 sec)
Figure 6. Locking onto Radio Signals from Sensors.
Connecting (Connect) Procedure
Each time you switch on the NODE, it automatically tries to Connect (lock on) to
the signals it remembers from the Pairing procedure. Just like during Pairing, for
the NODE to Connect to signals you must activate the sensors (make them send
a signal).
During the Connecting procedure, the 0 of the speed display fl ashes. After the
Speed sensor connects, the 0 stops ashing but the icons of the other paired
sensors continue to ash until the Connecting procedure is complete. This
can take up to 60 seconds. When it is complete, the icons for successfully
connected sensors display at the bottom of the screen (Figure 7).
Force Connect
If the Connecting procedure fails, the –– appears on the screen in each function
where the sensor is switched to ON but the Connecting procedure failed. In
addition, the icon for that sensor will disappear. These indications happen when
the NODE does not receive a signal during the Connecting procedure.
You can force the Connecting procedure:

Automatic Setup
When you switch the NODE to On the rst time (or replace the batteries or
perform the Reset procedure), the computer will automatically go through the
Pairing and Connecting procedures and set the units for one bike.
NOTE
Before starting this procedure, place the NODE within 5 feet (1.5 m) of all
sensors, and be ready to activate the sensors as explained in Pairing.

Setting a Custom Wheel Size
Measure the roll-out (Figure 9).
NOTE
Roll-out is the distance your bicycle travels in exactly one revolution of the wheel.
If one wheel on your bicycle is bigger, measure the wheel with the magnet.
With the valve stem of the wheel directly over the oor, sit on the
1.
bike.
Have your helper mark the fl oor at the valve stem.
2.
Roll the bike forward one revolution of the wheel, so that the valve
3.
stem is again directly over the oor.
Mark the new location of the valve stem.
4.
Measure the distance between the marks. If needed, convert to
5.
millimeters. The result is your Custom Wheel Size.
