Precautions

•Do not concentrate too much on the computer operations while riding.

• Be sure to securely mount the magnet, sensor and bracket on your bicycle,
and alweys check to insure they are mounted securely.

• Used batteries must be disposed of properly and in accordance with all
local regulations.

•Never disassemble the computer.

• For cleaning, use mild soap and a soft cloth. Wipe dry with a soft cloth. Paint
thinner, benzine, alcohol or other chemicals may damage the surface.

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any
interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

Modifications

The FCC requires the user to be notified that any changes or modifications made to this device that are
not expressly approved by Cat Eye Co., Ltd. may void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

About cordless system

The sensor picks up the wheel revolution signal and transmits the signal to the computer; the
computer calculates and displays the data on the screen.

CAUTION: In order to prevent external signal interference, the signal reception range is limited. For
best performance, the distance between the sensor and the computer must be kept within 70cm.
Attach the sensor at the upper part of your fork so that the distance becomes less than 70cm. The
signal reception range may shorten as a result of low temperature or lowered battery power.

In the following places and circumstances, interference may occur, resulting in malfunction:

• Near railroad crossing; in train cars.

•Near other cordless devices/television/personal computer/high power lighting system.

• Near the places where strong electromagnetic wave is generated; near television/ radio station; near
radar base.

•When being very close to another bicycle which also has a cordless cyclocomputer on its handlebar.

Computer Set-up (for first use, or after replacing battery)

NOTE: The

sor must not exceed 70 cm—if the sensor is too far
away from the computer head, the speed signal will not
register on the computer.
For best results, mount the sensor as high on the fork
leg as reasonably possible, so that the sensor is within
transmission range to the computer. However, the sen­sor must be close enough to spokes to allow proper dis­tance to magnet (see below).

Operation of Computer

Speed Scale Indicator - “mph” or “km/h” on main display flashes
when computer is measuring speed.

Display Modes - Press MODE button to shift lower display from
one mode to the next. The display modes change from Elapsed
Time (Tm), to Average Speed (Av), to Maximum Speed (Mx), to
Total Odometer (Odo), to Trip Distance (Dst).

CLOCK TIME - Hold MODE button for 2 seconds to display Clock
Time (this works in any of the display modes).

To set correct Clock Time, press SET button when Clock Time is

[
showing in lower display. Use MODE button to increase the digit
number, and press SET to change to next digit. Press SET button
when complete].

AUTO TIME

- When this is activated, the computer will auto-

matically start and stop measuring Elapsed Time (Tm), Average
Speed (Av), and Trip Distance (Dst), as soon as the bike starts
moving. AUTO TIME is activated when

icon shows in main

display.
To turn feature on or off, press SET button while lower display
is in Elapsed Time (Tm), Average Speed (Av), or Trip Distance (Dst)
mode. For best results, operate the computer with

activated.

MANUAL MODE - Press the START/STOP button to start the
Elapsed Time (Tm), Average Speed (Av) and Trip Distance (Dst)
measurement, ONLY IF AUTO TIME

is not activated.

Reset Time, Distance, Average - To reset (zero out) ride data
(Elapsed Time, Trip Distance, Average Speed, and Max. Speed),
press MODE and START/STOP simultaneously. [Total Odometer is
not reset].

Troubleshooting

No display.

The battery in the computer run down?
Replace it with a new one and do all clear operation.

Incorrect data appears.

Do all clear operation. (Before this operation, write down your Odo data, and input it again after all
clear operation. In this way you can continue to accumulate your Odo.)

Cannot start measuring by START/STOP button.

Is the

icon on?

To operate manually, switch off the Auto Time.

Sensor pulse indicator does not flash. (Current speed does not appear.)
[If the sensor pulse indicator fails to flash, first spin front wheel to align computer with sensor. Indicator
will flash if computer is working. If not, this will pinpoint the problem to be: 1. dead battery; 2. distance
between sensor and unit is over 70cm.]

Is the clearance between the sensor and the magnet too large?
Are the magnet's center and the sensor's marking line aligned?
Re-adjust the positions of the magnet and the sensor.
Is the distance between the computer and the sensor too long?
Adjust the sensor's position so that the distance becomes less than 70cm.
The battery in the sensor run down?
Replace it with a new one. *In winter, battery's performance is degraded.
The battery in the computer run down?
Replace it with a new one and do all clear operation.

Maintenance

• To clean the computer or accessories, use diluted neutral detergent on
a soft cloth, and then wipe it off with a dry cloth.

• If the gaps between the buttons and the unit get clogged with mud or
sand, wash with water.

Replacing Battery

Computer

If the screen gets dim, please replace the battery. (Before replacing bat­tery, write down your Odo data, and input it again after all clear operation.
This way you can retain your Odo data and continue to count, even after
replacing the battery.)

• Insert a new lithium battery (CR2032) with the (+) mark facing up.

•After replacing battery, do all clear operation and set up the unit again.

Sensor

If the sensor pulse symbol on the display gets dim, please replace the
battery. After replacing the battery, check the position of the sensor and
magnet again.
