SPEEDZONE ELITE CYCLOCOMPUTER
Congratulations on your purchase and welcome to the growing number of cyclists who are discovering a powerful new generation of bicycle computers. Your Specialized SpeedZone®Elite has been designed to provide the best combi­nation of performance, features, durability and ease of use and installation.
MOUNTING THE SPEEDZONE®ELITE
The SpeedZone®Elite wireless transmit­ter can mount on the right or the left side of the fork blade. The right side should be used on large frames or when a suspension fork is installed.
The optimal distance between the com­puter and the transmitter is 24 inches (610mm) The distance may need to be less than 24 inches (610mm) if ambi­ent temperatures are below 40°F (4°C). To reduce signal loss in colder temper­atures, the transmitter should be mounted as close to the computer as possible. (Maximum mounting distance is 28 inches). Use the transmitter­mounting bracket and tie-wraps pro­vided to position the sensor. Do not tighten the tie-wraps until final place­ment of the magnet is correct. (See figure 1).
Attach the magnet to a spoke across from the transmitter with the magnet screw. The clearance between the magnet and the transmitter should be approximately 1/32"-1/16" (1-2mm).

2. Setting the Programmable Odometer
This mode is useful if you have replaced the battery and would like to retain the mileage you have already ridden. To access the programmable odometer mode, first advance the "MODE" button until (ODO) appears on the left-hand side of the screen. Hold down the "FUNCTION" button and ‘tap’ the "MODE" button once. The Km/h indicator will flash. If the Km/h setting is correct press the "FUNCTION" button once and a five­digit number will appear. You are now in the programmable odometer mode. To enter a mileage into the odometer, press the "MODE" button until the flashing digit is correct.
(Note: The "MODE" button may be held to scroll to the correct digit.) Press the "FUNCTION" button to select the next digit to the right. Repeat this process until all five digits are entered as your existing mileage.
3. Wheel Circumference Selection
To set the circumference for the type of tires you are using, you can use Specialized’s "Easy Calibration Mode" or measure your actual tire circumfer­ence by the rollout method. Two dif­ferent tire diameters may be entered by using the computer’s "Second Wheel Option."

PROGRAMMING
Programming the functions of your SpeedZone®Elite requires it to be placed in various "modes" (i.e. odometer mode, distance mode). The computer can be cycled through these modes by pressing the "MODE" button located on the right-hand side of the housing. Once a specific mode has been entered, its values can be reset or adjusted by pressing either the "FUNCTION" button located on the left hand side of the housing or by using a combination of the "MODE" and "FUNCTION" buttons.
1. Miles or Kilometers selection
Your SpeedZone®Elite will record speed and distance in either miles (M/h) or kilometers (Km/h). To enter
your selection of miles or kilometers, push the "MODE" button until ODO (odometer) appears on the left side of the display (This is called the odometer mode). Hold down the "FUNCTION" (left side) button and ‘tap’ the "MODE" button once. The Km/h, m/h indicator will begin blinking. You may now alter­nate between miles and kilometers by pressing the "MODE" button. When the correct choice is flashing, select it by pressing the "FUNCTION" button. You will now enter the "Programmable Odometer" mode. If the odometer set­ting is correct push the "FUNCTION" button five times to exit odometer mode. (Otherwise, see "Setting the programmable odometer" below).

Roll Out Method
The roll out method will provide the most accurate computer calibration and can take into account variables such as inflation pressure, rim width and rider weight.
1. Extend a tape measure out to 3000mm (120 inches) and lock it in place.
2. With your tire inflated to its proper pressure, place the valve at the 6:00 position (at the bottom) directly over the start of the measuring tape.
3. Roll the wheel one complete revolu­tion until the valve stem is again at the 6:00 position. Read the tape directly under the valve and note the distance in millimeters. (To convert inches to millimeters, multiply inches by 25.4). Use this number to replace the default (default values are 2073 for wheel one, and 2134 for wheel two) when programming your computer.
(See figure 8)

5. Timer Selection
The timer can be selected for either Automatic Timer Mode (ATM) or Timer Mode (TM). The ATM selection allows you to keep track of your actual riding time. The timer only operates when the wheel is rotating and cannot be turned on or off manually.
The TM selection is just like a conven­tional stopwatch. The timer is activated manually and records the time whether the wheel is rotating or not. Tapping the "FUNCTION" button starts and stops the stopwatch and holding the "FUNCTION" button for three seconds will reset the stopwatch. Note: The average speed (AVS) will be calculated differently based upon the selection of ATM or TM. If ATM is selected, the AVS is based upon only riding time. If TM is selected the AVS is
based on the total time the stopwatch is turned on or activated.
(See figure 11)
To select either TM or ATM, first press the "MODE" button until either "TM" or "ATM" appears on the left­hand side of the screen. To alternate between "TM" and "ATM" press the "MODE" and "FUNCTION" buttons simultaneously. Once the desired timer

seconds of the interval. This is fol­lowed by a long beep, indicating the beginning of a new interval.
Cadence (CAD)
Cadence mode will display your pedal­ing speed in RPM’s (revolutions per minute) on the lower line of the screen. Monitoring how fast you turn your ped­als can be used as a tool to enhance
the efficiency with which you ride your bicycle. Simply put, the best cadence is a balance between leg speed and pedal pressure. Beginning cyclists typically prefer to pedal at a slower cadence, around 60-rpm, while advanced cyclists and racers are more efficient between 90 and 100 rpm. (See figure 15)
