Section time
The VDO M6 has a trip section counter. The trip section counter is like a stopwatch. If the trip section counter is running, the section time is recorded, as with a stopwatch. When the trip section counter is running, the section distance is also recorded.
The trip section counter is started and stopped by pressing the BIKE + SET buttons (simultaneously press and BRIEFLY hold both buttons).
ATTENTION: the trip section counter stops automatically
when the speed is ZERO.
Section distance
Shows the distance travelled while the trip section counter is activated.
Navigator
The navigator is a second, completely independent trip distance counter.
The navigator is used to measure trip sections. The navigator is particularly helpful when riding a route shown in a road book (e.g. Moser Bike Guide).
The navigator can: – be reset to ZERO as often as desired and independently of the trip distance counter – be preset to a specific value – count forwards or backwards from this value
Information on how to operate the navigator can be found on page 64.

Operation while cycling
While cycling, the display functions can be accessed by pressing the BIKE button and the ALTI button (scroll forwards through the functions).
Pressing the BIKE or ALTI button shows the next function on the display.
If the HEART RATE option is activated, the heart rate functions are displayed by pressing the TPC button.
By pressing the SET button you can also scroll backwards through the functions. This enables you to quickly display the desired function.
The totals can be accessed by pressing the TPC (total/pulse/ CAD) button.
ATTENTION: if the HEART RATE option is activated, the
heart rate functions are displayed by pressing the TPC button.
A more detailed description can be found on page 06.
Sleep mode
If you take a break and the M6 is in the bracket, the computer switches to standby mode after five minutes.
If you set off again after a break, the VDO M6 has an auto-start function. The auto-start function is activated by a movement sensor.
Moving the handlebars is enough to wake up the M6 from sleep mode. The VDO M6 immediately switches to function mode. The current speed and the distance are once again displayed after a few seconds.

Attaching the handlebar bracket
You can attach the computer to the right or left of the handlebars or in the centre on the stem. Attach the handlebar bracket in the corresponding position.
STEP 1
Decide whether you want to attach the computer to the handlebars or the stem.
STEP 2
Rotate the foot of the handlebar bracket by 90° accordingly. To do so, undo the screws in the bracket, remove the foot and rotate it 90° then insert and tighten the screws again.
Attention: do not overtighten the screws.
STEP 3
Guide the cable ties through the slot in the handlebar bracket, place around the handlebars or the stem and pull (do not pull tight just yet).
STEP 4
For handlebar attachment: align the computer angle to achieve optimum readability. Now pull the cable ties tight.
Use clippers to snip off protruding ends.

Attaching the speed transmitter
The transmitter can be attached to the fork leg on the right or left.
Note: If you have attached the computer to the stem or the left of the handlebars, the speed transmitter MUST be attached to the LEFT fork leg.
STEP 1
Place the rubber shim under the transmitter. Fit the transmitter on the same side of the forks where you later want to fit the computer to the handlebars (right or left) using the cable ties supplied (loosely at first, do not pull tight just yet).
ATTENTION: The cross-hatched marking on the lid of
the transmitter‘s battery compartment must point toward the spokes.
Depending on the available space, the transmitter can be mounted along the front of the fork, on the inside of the fork, or the back of the fork.
STEP 2
Place the spoke magnet around an outside spoke. The VDO logo of the rod-shaped magnet core should point toward the transmitter. Align the magnet with the cross-hatched sensor marking on the transmitter at a distance of 1- 5 mm.
STEP 3
Align the transmitter and magnet in their final positions and fasten them in place: pull the cable ties tight and push the magnet in firmly. The transmitter should be folded down at a maximum angle of 45° to the spokes. If you cannot achieve this angle, move the transmitter down along the fork leg towards the hub until you have reduced the angle to less than 45°.

How to insert the computer:
STEP 1
Place the computer into the bracket in a 10 o’clock position.
STEP 2
Rotate the computer to the right into the 12 o’clock position and click it into the bracket system. A noticeable resistance must be overcome to move it into place.
STEP 3
To remove the computer, rotate it to the left (without pushing or pulling).

Function testing
Once the transmitter is attached, check that it functions correctly.
How to test the transmitter:
– Insert the computer into the bracket. The speed indicator flashes. The computer now searches for its speed transmitter. – Lift and spin the front wheel. The green LED on the transmitter flashes several times. – A speed should now be displayed on the computer.
If the cadence option is activated, the cadence transmitter must also be paired:
– The cadence indicator flashes. The computer now searches for its cadence transmitter. – Rotate the crank or set off. The green LED on the cadence transmitter flashes several times. – A speed should now be displayed on the computer.
If the heart rate option is activated, the heart rate transmitter must also be paired:
– The heart rate indicator flashes. The computer now searches for its heart rate transmitter. – Put on the heart rate transmitter and wait a few seconds. – A heart rate should now be displayed on the computer. If no speed, cadence or heart rate is displayed, there can be several reasons for this.
The possible reasons are described in the “Troubleshooting” section.
Pairing the transmitter (initial use)
The VDO M6 automatically pairs the transmitter.
Once the computer has been rotated into place in the bracket, it starts searching for the transmitter.
The transmitter search is identified by the flashing digits for: – Speed – Heart rate (if the heart rate option is activated) – Cadence (if the cadence option is activated)
The VDO M6 has an automatic bike recognition function. Depending on whether you are using bike 1 or bike 2, the data is recorded for bike 1 or bike 2.
ATTENTION: When other radio signals interfere during the
pairing function, the display shows the message “Too Many Signals”. Confirm this message by pressing any key. You will then need to leave this location and move to another location. Untwist the computer from the handlbar bracket. Then reinsert the computer into the handlebar bracket. The computer will now attempt another pairing. Potential source of interference: – LED lights – Mobile telephone – GPS recever – WLAN – Anti-theft security systems inside the store These sources can interfere with the pairing.
ATTENTION: when using the transmitter for the first time, the
bike recognition switch must be set to either BIKE 1 or BIKE 2. Only then will the automatic bike recognition work.
Press and HOLD the button until the LED flashes. Green flashes once = bike 1 is selected Red flashes twice = bike 2 is selected

You can set the roll circumference of your wheel in millimetres on the VDO M6 or select the applicable tyres from a tyres table.
The more accurate this setting, the more accurate your speed indicator and the measurement of the distance you have travelled. You can find the values for your tyres in the tyre size table and set these in the device.
ATTENTION: the values in the table are approximations only.
The actual values can deviate from the values in the table depending on the manufacturer and the tyre tread.
If your tyre size is not listed in the table, you can accurately measure the roll circumference.
How to measure the roll circumference:
STEP 1
Stand your bike up and position the wheel to which you want to attach the sensor so that the valve is directly on the ground. Ensure that the tyres are fully pumped up in accordance with the usage instructions. Mark the position of the valve on the ground with a line or adhesive strip.
STEP 2
Now push your bike forwards in a straight line until the valve is back on the ground after one rotation. Again mark the position of the valve on the ground with a line or adhesive strip.
STEP 3
The distance between the two marks corresponds to your wheel circumference or wheel size in millimetres.
