BRACKET AND MAIN UNIT MOUNTING

1. Attach the bracket i to the handlebar and fit the rubber pad h between the handlebar and the band of the bracket. Tighten the screw securely till the bracket cannot turn. (Fig. A)

2. Slide the main unit onto the br acket f rom fr ont to rear t ill it clicks into posit ion. To remo ve the main unit,

press down on the lock lever of the bracket then pull the main unit forward and off. (Fig. B)

SENSOR AND MAGNET MOUNTING

1. Install the sensor k and the sensor band

2. Mount the band carrier

3. Mounting the sensor unit on the right front fork with rubber pad. (Fig. D)

4. Mount the magnet

j. Place the ring

5. Adjust the relative position between the main unit and the sensor, according to the following key points: a). It will receive a stronger wireless signal if the sensor is more close to the main unit.

T he arrow of the sensor must point to the main unit, and install the sensor as close to the main unit

as possible and within 45 cm (1.5 feet) to get a better wireless performance. (Fig. F)

It is workable when the arrow symbol is down (Fig. E), but keeping the arrow up is better because its

sensing distance is shorter than with the arrow down.

b). Adjust the installation angle of the sensor to aim at the direction of the main unit within +/- 15°, the

best performances is at vertical direction (90°) between the sensor’s arrow and the battery cap of the main unit. (Fig. F)

Adjust the magnet fixed position to let the center of the magnet align to the sensor’s marking line. (Fig. G)

c). d).

Adjust the sensor to let the gap between the magnet and the sensor’s marking line is about 5mm (0.2"). (Fig.

6. Refer to the TEST section to testing the installation before tighten the sensor band w ith a screwdriver.(Fig. I)

7. Fix the excess sensor band

TEST

1. The main unit has a "Slide On/Off Detecting Switch g" (patents pending) to t urn ON/OFF the power of the wireless receiver. It can receive the wireless wheel signal only after the main unit is slid onto the bracket.

2. Spin the front wheel to check if installation is correct. Installation is correct if the main unit flick ers "

symbol. It is an incorrect installation if there is no symbol of " among the main unit, the sensor and the magnet, or ref er to the trouble-shooting table.

C. THE WIRELESS SYSTEM AND PERFORMANCES

1. The sensor transits the wheel rotating signal to the receiver in the main unit by the wireless transmission. To prevent the receiver from interfering by other wireless noises and causing the main unit to display false data, install the transmitter according to the following key points t o get better performance.

a). The receiver is designed to receive a signal with only a certain direction and angle to reduce the noise

interference from other sources. Adjust the installat ion angle of transmitter to aim at the direction to the main unit within a +/- 15° angle, the best performance is at a vertical direction.

b). The receiver will receive a stronger wireless signal if the transmitter is more close to the receiver. A

stronger sensing signal not only has better noise immunity, but also incr eases the transmitter battery’s operating life. For good wireless performance, please install the tr ansmitter as close to the main unit as possible and within 45 cm (1.5 feet).

2. Precaution

a). This computer has almost no cross-talking interf erence when 2 bicycles carrying the same or similar

wireless cycle computers are ridden side by side, as long as the cross-distance is over 40cm (15.8”).

b). This computer has excellent noise immunity for some electromagnetic interference, but it may be interfer ed

with by a strong electromagnetic wave and make the main unit displays error data while it is near strong interference such as TV transmission stations, radar stations, and some heavy industrial machines.

3. This computer has a “Slide On/Off Detecting Switch”

a). To reduce the power consumption of the main unit to increase the batt ery operation life, but also to

delete all indoor electromagnetic interference from electrical equipment (such as PC monitors, handy-phones, etc.). It will turn off the power supply of the receiver when the main unit takes of f f rom the bracket.

b). The main unit can only receive the wheel signal after it is slid onto the bracket.
