Display
The VDO M2 WR has a large, easy-to-read display that can be
divided into three areas.
– The top line of the display shows the value for the
selected function.
– The middle line displays “am” or “pm” if the 12-hour
clock format is used. It also displays 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 bottom line of the display shows the name of the
selected function in clear text.
Only ONE function at a time appears on the display.
To return to the speed indicator from a selected function,
e.g. ride time, press the SET button.

Attaching the bracket and the sensor
M2 WR
Start by attaching the sensor and the magnet.
STEP 1
Place the rubber shim under the sensor. Attach the sensor to
the fork side that corresponds to the side on which you later
want to attach the computer to the handlebars (right or left)
using the cable ties supplied (loosely at first, do not pull tight
just yet).
ATTENTION: the sensor mark on the sensor should point to
the spokes. Depending on the space available, the sensor can
be fitted to the front, inside or back of the fork.
STEP 2
Attach the spoke magnet to an outside spoke. The rod-shaped
magnet core points toward the sensor with the VDO logo.
Align the magnet with the sensor marking on the sensor
at a distance of approx. 1- 5 mm.
STEP 3
Align the sensor and the magnet in their final positions and
fasten them in place: pull the cable ties tight and push the
magnet in firmly.
STEP 4
Move the cable along the fork until it reaches the fork bridge.
From there, wind the cable further along the brake line until it
reaches the handlebars.

STEP 5
Decide whether you want to use handlebar or stem attachment and rotate the base of the handlebar bracket by 90°
accordingly. To do so, undo the screws on the bracket,
remove the foot and rotate it 90° then insert and tighten
the screws again.
ATTENTION: do not overtighten the screws.
STEP 6
Guide the cable ties through the slot in the handlebar bracket,
place around the handlebars or the stem and pull (do not pull
tight just yet).
STEP 7
For handlebar attachment: align the computer angle
to achieve optimum readability.
Now pull the cable ties tight.
Use clippers to snip off protruding cable ends.
A helpful attachment video can be found on our website.

How to insert the computer:
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).

Function testing
Once the sensor has been attached, check that it functions
correctly.
How to test the computer:
– Insert the computer into the bracket.
– Lift and spin the front wheel.
– 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 “Trouble-
shooting” section.

Sleep mode
If you take a break and the M2 is in the bracket,
the computer switches to sleep mode after five minutes.
If you set off again after a break, the VDO M2 has an
auto-start function.
The VDO M2 instantly switches back to the function mode
and the current speed are once again displayed.
