Modes
The NODE computer has five modes:
Setup
This mode allows you to ‘program’ the computer, setting your preferences for language, distance units, time, and odometer.
Ride
Use the Ride mode (Figure 9) when riding. It shows displays of the information gathered by the computer. This information can be the current data: your current speed, the current temperature, or data from other functions. 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.

Recap
When you have finished a ride or just want to see your data, you can view the computed data in the Recap mode (Figure 10).
Manage
Recap
This mode allows you to revise the Setup or perform advanced settings.
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. In Standby, the screen will display two dashes (— —). After an additional 10 minutes, the NODE switches to Off.
NOTE: To extend battery life during long periods of non-use, remove the computer from its computer base. This deactivates the Auto Start feature.
There are two methods for waking the computer:
• Press any button
• Autostart: spin the wheel to make the wheel sensorsignal send a

INSTALLATION
Getting your Node up and running is easy and takes only about 10 minutes.
Process Overview
It will help you through the process if you take the time to completely read the installation section before you start. For example, you cannot complete the setup process (#3 below) if the sensor cannot read the magnet in the wheel (#1).
Here are the steps in the process (explained more fully in the following pages):
1.Install the speed sensor and wheel magnet (see the instructions packaged with the sensor). Install optional accessory sensors.
2.Attach the computer to the handlebar or stem.
3.Setup your preferences for time, miles, etc.
4.“Pair” the computer (make the computer recognize and remember the radio signal from the sensor).
Sensors
Your NODE is not packaged with sensors. You can purchase sensors for the NODE from your Bontrager dealer. For installation instructions for a sensor, see those packaged with the sensor.
The NODE can read up to four signals or sensors:
•Speed
•Cadence
•Heart rate
•Power
•Combo (speed and cadence)
You can add sensors at any time. However, additional setup work is required each time you add a sensor.
Tools Required
•Screwdriver, small phillips type
•Coin

Attaching the Computer
You can choose to attach the computer to the handlebar or the stem.
On the handlebar, consider your preference for left and right, and your access to the buttons on the computer. On the stem, the computer is in the center.
Handlebars are generally round with only one or two sizes, while stems come in many shapes and sizes. Because stems have so much variation, one or two clamp designs cannot accommodate them all. Therefore, mounting to the stem requires zipties.
To Attach to the Handlebar
1.Determine the diameter of your handlebar (25.4 mm, 26.0 mm, or 31.8 mm).
2.Insert the correct handlebar clamp into the computer base (Figure 12).
3.Slide the head of the handlebar clamp to the end of the slot in the computer base.
4.Insert the rubber pad with logo into the back of the computer base (Figure 13).
5.With the screw hole toward the back of the bike, wrap the handlebar clamp around the handlebar.
6.Insert the screw and tighten, just until the computer base no longer rotates on the handlebar (Figure 14). Do not overtighten.
7.Slide the computer into the computer base (Figure 15).
To Attach to the Stem
1.Insert the rubber pad with logo into the back of the computer base (Figure 16).
2.Position the computer base on the stem with the screw hole toward the back of the bike (Figure 17).
3.Secure the computer base to the stem using zip-ties.
4.Slide the computer into the computer base (Figure 15).

Setup (Initial Programming)
The NODE is shipped with the battery outside the computer so that the battery is fresh. When you install the battery, your NODE will automatically proceed through this Setup, including the Pairing process and Connecting procedures. The automatic Setup also happens when you replace the battery or perform the Reset procedure. Read this entire page before proceeding.
Before you start Setup
Before starting the Setup, complete the installation of the computer bracket, sensor, and magnet (for a sensor, see the installation instructions that are packaged with the sensor). Install the battery andNODEplacewithinthe 5 feet
(1.5 m) of the sensor, and be ready to activate the sensor as explained in the next section.
Pairing Sensors
“Pairing” is a process used by the computer to identify the signal from a sensor (Figure 18). This process happens at the end of the initial setup. When a sensor is paired, its icon appears on the screen (Figure 19).
For the computer to find and pair to the sensor, the sensor must send a signal. The speed sensor only sends a signal when the wheel rotates.
Installing the Battery
1.Insert the supplied battery with the ‘+’ facing up or out.
2.Attach the battery cover. Turn the cover clockwise with a coin.

The display during Pairing
During the Pairing process, the display shows PAIRING SENSORS and the receiving icon flashes in the lower right corner (Figure 20). When the computer finds the signal and pairs to it, the icon for the sensor flashes three times and it is then added to the display. Figure 21 shows the speed sensor is paired. The Pairing process continues for one minute, or until you press any button to end it. The display then shows SENSORS FOUND and a number, which is the number of sensors to which it has paired.
When the pairing process is finished, the display shows SETUP COMPLETE (Figure 22). Press the upper side button, s1, and then the computer shows the DIST display and is in Ride Mode, ready for you to ride (Figure 23).

STARTING A RIDE
This section explains how to start a new ride. To start a ride, you must connect the sensor and then either continue your previous ride or start a new ride.
Connecting the Sensor
Each time you wake the NODE or switch it to On, it automatically tries to communicate with the sensor. This is called “connecting.” For the NODE to connect to the speed sensor, the wheel must turn.
The display during Connecting
During the Connecting process, the display shows CONNECTING SENSORS and the lower right corner of the display flashes the ‘receiving’ icon (Figure 24). This process can take as long as a minute to complete. The NODE shows the connected sensor in the upper left corner of the display (Figure 25).
After connecting, the display shows NEW RIDE?
Force Connect
If your NODE did not connect correctly, you can “Force Connect,” making the NODE repeat the connecting procedure. In Ride mode, hold s2 for three seconds and then make the sensor send a signal (Figure 26).

Main Ride Functions
This section explains how to access and see the displays of the NODE computer. The information is arranged in the order in which the displays appear as you browse through the functions.
To see these functions, you must first connect the sensors as discussed in Starting a Rideon page 13. If a sensor is not connected, that function will be skipped. In other words, if the heart rate sensor is not connected, the screen for heart rate will not appear after cadence. Instead you will see the screen for the function of the next connected sensor.
Note: The NODE 2.1 has additional functions not available on the NODE 1.1. When viewing the NODE 1.1 secondary display, the browse sequence goes from its last connected sensor function (Speed, Cadence, Heart Rate, or Power) to Distance.
Speed
In Ride mode, the computer always shows Speed as the biggest numbers in the middle of the display. Speed is a measurement of how fast your bike is moving.
1.To switch from current speed (no letters) to average speed (AVG) and then to maximum speed (MAX), browse s1 .
The lower button, s2 , switches the functions in the lower, secondary display. The
secondary display is explained on the next page. |
