Precautions

Remember to watch the road while
riding. Watching your bicycle computer
makes it difficult to see upcoming
obstacles. Awareness of potential road,
trial, or traffic problems should be your
main concern.

WARNING

Never place fingers near the spokes of a rotating wheel or
other moving parts which could cause injury.

Watch where you are going when riding y our bicycle. Inattention
may cause a loss of control resulting in personal injury.

COMPUTER FUNCTIONS

Speedometer Display (SPD)

Current riding speed is indicated on the
top line of the display with the SPD icon.
Instantaneous speed has a display range
of 2.5 – 99.5 M/h (4 – 99.5 Km/h).

Automatic Timer Stopwatch (ATM)

The Automatic Timer Stopwatch is
displayed on the lower line with the
ATM icon. The ATM stopwatch is auto­matically activated by wheel movement.
It cannot be manually turned on or off,
and records only the time spend actually
riding. To clear stored information and
get ready for your next ride, enter
SPD/ATMdisplay mode and press both
keys for over 2 seconds. This will clear
all resetable functions

AVS & MXS)

(ATM, DST,

.

Speed Comparison Display

When riding, a + or –icon will appear
to the right of the current Speed display.

+ icon indicates that your current

A
speed is faster than your recorded
average speed. A

icon means you are

–

traveling slower than your recorded
average speed.

Trip Distance (DST)

Trip Distance is displayed on the lower
line, indicated by the
distance is tied to the

DST icon. Trip
ATM stopwatch,

and records automatically when riding.
Trip Distance records up to 999.9 miles
(or Kilometers), with a resolution of 0.1
miles/kilometers.

Average Speed (AVS)

Average Speed is displayed in 0.1 mi/Km
increments on the upper line, indicated

AVS icon. AVS is calculated with

by the
the Auto Timer Stopwatch and is the
average speed only for time spent
actually riding.

Odometer (ODO)

The cumulative distance traveled for all
rides is displayed on the lower line,
indicated by the

ODO icon. Total
Odometer can be cleared to 0 by pressing
the All Clear button on the bottom of the
computer or by removing and re-installing
the battery.

Maximum Speed (MXS)

The Maximum Speed reached during a
ride is displayed in 0.1 mi/Km incre­ments on the top line, with the

MXS

icon. Maximum Speed is stored in
memory and is updated each time a
new, higher speed is reached.

CLOCK (CLK)

The 12 hour clock is displayed on the
lower line, indicated by the

CLK icon.

ATM “Lap Timer” Display

ATM “Lap Timer” display

A unique
allows you to lock the display at the end
of a ride segment and view the

ATM,

DST, AVS and MXS at a later time.

This is especially useful at the end of a
race, allowing you time to cool down
without adding time to your Stopwatch.

As you cross the finish line, press the left
key for over 1 second to freeze informa­tion on the display. You may continue to
ride, viewing the information locked on
the flashing locked display. The computer
will continue to record information and
store it in memory. Press the left key to
update the current display information.

RESETTING THE COMPUTER

In SPD/ATM mode, press both keys for
over two seconds to clear

ATM, DST,

AVS and MXSdisplay.
SLEEP MODE

To conserve battery power, the computer
will enter the ‘Sleep’ mode after 5 min­utes of no speed input, blanking the dis­play. Press any key to enter normal
operating modes.

(Note: Unit will not enter sleep mode in
setting function mode.)

INSTALLATION
Axiom and Wheel Magnet

1. Position the axiom unit to the inside

of either the right of left fork blade
anywhere from 3-6 inches up from the
fork blade tip. Attach the axiom to the
fork blade with the quick ties but do not
tighten the ties completely until final
adjustment is complete.

2.

Attach the wheel magnet to a spoke,
aligning the magnet with the axiom so it
faces and intersects the bottom polished
line on the axiom. The magnet should
have 1-2 mm clearance from the axiom.
If the axiom and magnet are too close or
touching, rotate the axiom unit toward
the back of the fork blade until adequate
clearance is achieved. Carefully tighten
the quick ties making sure you maintain
the proper space between the magnet
and the axiom. Trim the excess quick tie
strap using a scissors or fingernail clip­per. Tighten the magnet screw, but be
careful not to over tighten as this can
damage the fitting.

Axiom Wiring and Bracket

1. Route the axiom wire up the back of

the fork blade or wind the wire around
the blade, making sure that the wire is
not loose and that you leave enough
wire to reach the handlebar. Secure the
wire to the fork blade immediately
above the axiom and at the top of the
fork blade, using the adhesive strips
that are provided or electrical tape.

2. Wind the wire upward around the
front brake cable until the wire is adja­cent to the handlebar, allowing enough
slack for free movement of the steering
assembly cables.

3. Attach the bracket to the handlebar
on either side of the stem. The bracket
goes onto the handlebar with the wire
toward the rider side of the bar. Use the
appropriate rubber shim between the
bracket and handlebar to provide a
secure fit.

Shims will
prevent slipping

Attaching the Computer to
the Bracket

The Fisher Axiom Computer attaches to
the mounting bracket by sliding the unit
onto the bracket from the back until it
snaps firmly into position. To remove the
computer from the bracket, place your
thumb against the back of the mounting
bracket and pull the computer toward
you with your index finger.

back side of the computer using a
narrow flat blade screwdriver.

2. Install the battery so that the
positive "+" side of the battery is visible,
and replace the battery cover.

CAUTION: On the bottom of the com­puter head next to the battery door is a
small recessed button. This is the Auto
Clear Button. Pressing this button will
clear all memories and reset all functions
to their default values.

Wheel Size Setting

The wheel size setting number is equal
to the distance, in millimeters, that your
front wheel travels during one complete
revolution. Each time the wheel magnet
passes the axiom unit on your fork, the
axiom sends an impulse to the computer
telling it that your wheel has completed
one revolution. The computer calculates
this distance vs. time to give you
accurate readings for the various modes.

Determining Wheel Size Setting

There are three methods for determining
the wheel size setting. For the most accu­rate computer readings, it is best to
measure the actual distance that your
wheel travels in one complete revolution.
This method is called a

wheel roll out.

Method One: Wheel Roll Out

• Perform the wheel roll out on a hard,
flat, smooth surface such as a garage or
basement floor.

• Make sure your tires are properly
inflated.

1. Position your bike so that the valve
stem of the front wheel is at its bottom
most position. Mark the spot on the floor
directly under the center of the valve
stem using a piece of tape or chalk.

2. Roll the bicycle forward in a straight line,
while putting downward pressure on the
handlebars to simulate rider weight. When
the wheel has completed one revolution
and the valve stem is at its bottom position,
mark the floor directly under the center of
the valve stem with tape or chalk. Measure
the distance between the two marks in mil­limeters. (Note: Conversion of in. to mm. is
1 in.=25.4 mm.) This is your wheel setting
number. You can repeat this procedure and
average your results. We recommend that
you record your wheel setting numbers
here for future reference.

Method Two:

Radius x 6.2832 = Wheel Setting

Measure wheel radius (including tire) in
mm and multiply by 6.2832=Wheel
setting number.

Method Three:

Refer to the following chart and input
the number that corresponds to your tire
size. (Note: Actual size of two similarly
marked tires from different
manufactures can vary significantly,
making this method the least accurate.)
