RIDE TIME
TOTAL TIME

Ride Time and Total Time are shown
simultaneously. Ride Time (RT) measures actual
riding time and starts automatically when the
timers are set to "0:00:00" and the wheel
rotates. Total Time (TT) shows the total elapsed
trip time from start to finish. Like RT, TT starts
automatically when the wheel rotates ONLY
when the timers are set to "0:00:00", or it can be
started manually by pressing Button #3 in the
RT/TT screen mode ONLY. TT can only be
stopped manually by momentarily pressing
Button #3 in the RT/TT screen mode at the end

of a ride. To reset both RT and TT to zero, turn the timers off and
press Button #3 for at least 2 seconds. Note: Whenever TT is
activated, the stopwatch icon appears; otherwise it does not
appear. The TT Timer must be active in order for the RT Timer to
accumulate Ride Time and for the computer to calculate current
ride and heart rate memory data.

CAUTION: If RT and TT timers are not 0:00:00 and you have
stopped them manually, then they MUST be restarted
manually by pressing Button #3 in the RT/TT mode. If not,
the computer will not record speed or other ride or heart rate
memory data. RT and TT Timers can be manually activated or
deactivated only from the RT/TT screen mode.

RIDING TIP: If the bike is in motion and Button #3 is held down
in the RT/TT screen mode with the timers deactivated, the ride
timers reset to 0:00:00. When Button #3 is released, both RT and TT
will start with the next wheel input. This is a good way to begin
timing a race or training ride with a rolling start.

Average and Maximum Speed readings are
displayed simultaneously in the AVG/MAX
screen mode. Average Speed is updated every

0.1 miles or Km traveled. Reset both to zero

by pressing Button #3 for 2 seconds with
timers turned off in any screen mode
except STP/IDS.

LOWER SCREEN MODES

When installed, the Cadence kit measures and
displays pedal Cadence in Revolutions Per
Minute (RPM). The SPD/CAD screen function
letters appear ONLY when the Cadence
hardware is installed and a Cadence signal
received by the head unit. After a current ride
data reset, (Button #3 for 2 seconds with
timers off) the function letters will disappear,
but they will will come back on with the next
Cadence input. Note: RT and TT timers

MUST be activated in order for Speed and

Cadence to function.

CADENCE*

Displays current Heart Rate in beats per minute
on the upper line and the percentage of your
preset maximum heart rate on the lower line.
The heart icon will blink steadily when the
head unit is receiving and recording a heart
rate signal from the transmitter. This icon
disappears from the display when no heart rate
signal is received.

IDS

The independent Stopwatch is operated by
Button #3 in the STP/IDS screen mode. STP
operates in conjunction with the RT/TT
timers ( icon must be visible) and can be
started or stopped by pressing Button #3. The
Intermediate Distance function tracks an
intermediate distance within a ride. IDS does
not affect overall Trip Distance or current ride
data, but it operates the same as the DST
function. In the STP/IDS screen mode with
timers active, press Button #3 to start
Stopwatch and IDS functions; press Button #3
again to stop functions and freeze data for
review. Reset both Stopwatch and IDS to zero
by pressing Button #3 for 2 seconds.

or the ride distance exceeds the maximum
limit, after which the Odometer will
automatically reset to zero. *Note:

Odometer reading can be reinstalled by
user after a battery change.

DUAL BIKE MEMORY

The V100HR can be calibrated for two bicycles.
It will store separate Wheel Size, Service Timer,
Odometer, Age and Heart Rate Target Zone
settings, as well as different formats for Time,
Speed and Distance. The current bike number
(I or II) is always displayed in the lower right
corner of the screen. To switch the computer
quickly from Bike I to Bike II, go to the first
screen in the Normal Operating Mode Setup
program for cycling. (See SETUP section
below for details.)

HEART RATE READING

The V100HR monitor displays Heart Rate in
the lower left screen segment. The range is
40 to 240 beats per minute, and the blinking
heart icon ( ) displays as long as a signal is
being received. When the monitor is toggled
to the HR/% screen mode (Button #1),
current Heart Rate is displayed on the upper
line and the Percent of Maximum HR on the
lower line. Current Speed is then displayed
in this small screen segment and the letters
"SPD" appear immediately above it. (see
screen illustrations).

When the V100HR is attached to a cadence
mount, it displays both Average and
Maximum Cadence in a secondary screen.
Press and hold Button #1 in the SPD/CAD
screen mode for 2 seconds. Average and
Maximum Cadence appear on the upper and
lower lines respectively. Press Button #1 again
to return to the primary SPD/CAD screen.

V100HR SECONDARY FUNCTIONS
& FEATURES

Alerts rider when Ride Time reaches a preset
limit for a maintenance check on the bike or
any main component. Suspension forks, rear
shocks, chains, etc. require service at specific
time intervals set by manufacturers. Vetta's
Service Timer allows the rider to preset an
exact number of riding hours during Setup,
then signals (slow, flashing wrench icon) when
the service time limit has been reached. (See
SETUP section below for details.)

SERVICE TIMER

The Speed Comparator symbols on the left
side of the display screen indicate whether
current Speed is above or below current
Average Speed. A positive ( ) or negative
( ) symbol appears in the upper left part of
the screen in all primary screen modes. The
Speed Comparator symbols do not appear if
Speed (SPD) and Average Speed (AVG) are the
same.

SPEED COMPARATOR

The V100HR Service Timer icon has been
programmed to signal low battery power in
the head unit. When the battery runs low
and needs to be replaced, the Service Timer
icon ( ) will illuminate and stay "on" (no
blinking). Replace the head unit battery as
soon as possible. Rapid blinking of the
Service icon indicates both low battery
power and expiration of the preset service
time interval.

LOW BATTERY ALERT

Freezes ride data from 4 primary
screens for review at any point during a
race or training ride. To activate Freeze
Frame, press and hold Button #2 for 2
seconds in any primary screen mode.
The screen will flash to indicate it has
been frozen. The computer will
continue to record ride data. Advance
through the frozen screens by pressing
Button #1 repeatedly. Press Button #2 to
cancel Freeze Frame and return to the
previous screen mode.
Note: If Ride Time/Total Time (RT/TT) is
not running at the time Freeze Frame is
activated (Button #2 for 2 seconds),
previously frozen ride data will be
displayed. At the end of the ride, user
can view both "end-of-ride" data (by
stopping the timers and toggling
through the primary screens) and the
last Freeze Frame data screens recorded
(by activating Freeze Frame with the
RT/TT timers turned off).
