(See figure 5).
For wheels with bladed spokes: Use some iso­propyl (rub­bing) alcohol or a mild deter­gent to thor­oughly clean the spoke that you plan to attach the magnet to. Remove the backing from the adhesive tape and firmly press the magnet onto spoke. The tape uses a special pres­sure sensitive adhesive. To ensure a strong bond, please wait at least 12 hours for the adhesive to cure before riding your bicycle.
Attach the appropriate mount (26.0mm and
31.8mm sizes are includ­ed) to the handlebar using the bracket screw provided. Tighten so that the bracket cannot rotate on the han­dlebar. There are several sizing straps provided to fit different diameter bars. (See figure 6). Slide the
computer forward onto the mount until it snaps into place with an audible click. To remove the com­puter, remove the cadence
wire (if connected) then push it backward until it releases from the mount.
To test for proper installa­tion of the magnet, trans­mitter and computer, acti­vate the computer by push­ing the MODE (right side) button. Pick up the front of the bicycle and spin the front wheel. The wheel option indicator will flash. If it does not flash, check the sensor and magnet alignment. Realign as nec­essary until the wheel option indicator flashes while spinning the wheel

MOUNTING THE TURBO® ELITE:
The Turbo® 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 transmit­ter-mounting shim and tie­wraps provided to position the sensor. Do not tighten the tie-wraps until final placement of the magnet is correct. (See figure 4). Wheel magnets have been provided for both tradition­al round spokes and bladed (flat) aerody­namic spokes. For wheels with round spokes: 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). Tighten the magnet and transmitter. Do not over­tighten the magnet screw.

2. Miles or Kilometers selection (English only):
Your Turbo® Elite will record distance and speed in either miles (m & m/h) or kilometers (K & Km/h). Please note that miles can only be selected when the language setting is English. All other languages dis­play only kilometers. (See Setting the Display Language above). To enter your selection of miles or kilometers, push the MODE button until ODO appears in the Dot­matrix Display Area (This is called the odometer mode). Note: if your dis­play says TRIP, press the SET button once to change to ODO. Next, hold down the SET but­ton for three seconds. The Km or m 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 SET but­ton. You will now enter the Programmable
Odometer mode. If the odometer setting is correct push the SET button five times to exit odometer mode. (Otherwise, see Setting the programmable odometer below).
3. 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 to the Odometer Mode by pressing MODE button until ODO appears in the Dot-matrix Display Area. Note: if your display says TRIP, press the SET button once to change to ODO. Hold down the SET but­ton for three seconds (If you have selected English language, the Km/h indi­cator will flash. If the Km/h setting is correct press the SET button once) and a five-digit number will appear. You are now in the programmable odometer mode. To enter a mileage
