M2.1 WL
Display
The VDO M2.1 WL has a large, easy-to-read display that can be divided into three areas.
–The top line of the display permanently indicates
the current speed. If the 12-hour clock format has been selected, “am” or “pm” appears next to the speed.
The same area also shows whether kmh or mph has been selected for the speed indicator.
On the left of this line are arrows that indicate whether the current speed is above or below than the average speed.
–The middle line of the display shows the name of the selected function in clear text.
–The bottom line of the display shows the value for the selected function.

Wireless transmission of the speed
The VDO M2.1 WL comes with analogue wireless transmission.
The wireless range is approx. 75 cm between the transmitter on the fork and the computer/receiver on the handlebars. During attachment, make sure you attach the transmitter to the left-hand fork leg if you attach the computer to the stem or on the left of the handlebar.
If you attach the computer to the right of the handlebars, you can also attach the transmitter to the right-hand fork leg.
Note: LED front lights can interfere with analogue wireless transmission.

Attaching the handlebar bracket
You can attach the computer to the right or left of the handle- |
1 |
|
|
bars or in the centre on the stem. Attach the handlebar |
|
|
|
bracket in the corresponding position. |
3 |
– |
4 |
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, |
90° |
2 |
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 to the fork side that corresponds to the side on which 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°.

Inserting the computer into the handlebar bracket
The VDO twist-click system securely connects the computer to the handlebar bracket.
This occurs as follows:
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).
Memory aid: Rigid to the Right, Loose to the Left

Testing the wireless transmission
Once attached, test the wireless transmission.
Do this as follows:
–Insert the computer into the bracket
–Lift and spin the front wheel
–An LED should flash on the transmitter for a few seconds. Flashing LED: the transmitter is sending a signal
–A speed should now be displayed on the computer.
If no speed is displayed, there can be several reasons for this. The possible reasons are described in the “Troubleshooting” section.
