C2
- set sensor/cable/stem mount (support rotated by 90°)
C3
- set sensor/cable/handlebar mount
C4
- set sensor/handlebar mount/cable 1.5 m for rear wheel mounting
2.1 Mounting cable sensor and magnet
Important: mount the sensor first, then mount the wired handlebar holder as described under
C1
C2
2.2. Check the following while mounting:
C3
a. Distance between the sensor and magnet: 1 to 5 mm
C4
52
>>> P02
GB
b. When mounting the sensor on a suspension fork, don’t forget to allow extra length for the
cable.
WATCH OUT: cable may tear
step 1 Loosely attach the sensor on the fork leg with cable ties
(do not tighten yet).
step 2 Mount the magnet on a spoke. Adjust the magnet to the
marking on the sensor (distance 1-5 mm).
step 3 when unit is working, finalize transmitter and magnet
mounting by tightening cable ties and clamping the
magnet
2.2 Mounting cable and VDO “any-size” handlebar holder
step 1 Run the cable up the fork, pass it around the brake cable from the already fixed sen-
C1
C2
C3
C4
sor to the handlebar. Use the enclosed cable ties or duct tape. Spiral the wire around
the brake cable (this has proven to be the best solution).
step 2 position the holder on the handlebar.
>>> P03
53
GB
step 3 feed the fixing clamp through the slot below the holder socket, pass the clamp
around the handlebar and tighten it with a small screw driver. Do not overtighten, the
plastic screw might be damaged. Readjust the cable so that it will not be stretched
during steering. Finally tighten the zip ties holding the sensor.
2.3 Battery Installation (computer)

Should your computer not function properly after installing the battery or you want to reset it to
default values, push the AC-button on the rear of the housing.
4. Basic settings
Basic settings are settings crucial to data measuring and operating the computer. Such as
C1
language, wheel size(s), clock.
C2
C3
C4
WATCH OUT: Any SET procedure must be completed (menu question ?SET OK? gets
accepted by pushing M). Should a SET procedure not be completed, any data entered is not

4.2 Measuring and setting the wheel size(s)
In order for your VDO computer to precisely calculate speed and distance, you have to mea-
C1
C2
sure the circumference of your wheels With an incorrect wheel size set, all related values like
C3
speed, trip distance, odometer etc. come out false. To make the use of your VDO computers
C4
possible on 2 bikes, i.e. Mountain Bike and Road Bike, you are able to set up 2 different
wheel sizes.
Measuring both wheel circumferences:
step 1 Place the front wheel valve perpendicular to the ground
step 2 Mark this spot on the ground for example with chalk
step 3 Turn the wheel forward for one full circle until the valve is
perpendicular to the ground again
step 4 Also mark this spot.
step 5 Measure the distance between the two spots (markings)
This is your wheel size.
step 6 Set-up your wheel size in your VDO computer as
described below.
64
>>> P07
GB
If you have selected the Metric system (KM) you have to enter your wheel size/s in millimeters.
If you have selected English system (MI) you have to enter your wheel size/s in inches.
TIP: Write down your wheel sizes on your VDO-User-Card for easy reference. The values
listed in the chart are approximate. Depending on the tire brand, it is possible that these
numbers deviate from your real tire circumference since height and tread pattern are likely to
be different.
Setting the wheel sizes :
a c “TRIPDISTANCE/SETTINGS”
a c “WHEELSIZE/SET”
a c “KMH-DISPLAY” or “ MPH-DISPLAY” to be selected
<<actual wheel size 1 flashes>>
a set wheel size 1 in [mm] or [in]
(Press up/down key briefly for 1 mm, keep pressing key for fast forward run)
c “?SET OK?” accept or return by pressing b and correct your entries. “WHEELSIZE 1 /
SET DONE” pops up briefly, to indicate data storage.
Your computer now wants you to set wheel size 2.
65
GB
If applicable, enter wheel size 2 as described above
If you don’t need to enter the second wheel size, hold the b key until the computer returns to
main menu TRIPDISTANCE/SETTINGS.
Watch out: Default settings for the wheel sizes are as follows: Bike 1 = 2155 mm and Bike 2 =
2000 mm. In case you don’t set your individual wheel sizes, the computer works with default
values. Readings for speed therefore are likely to deviate significantly from the actual values.
