Question 1

How to obtain the user manual for the BONTRAGER TRIP 5W bike computer?

Accepted Answer

The user manual for the BONTRAGER TRIP 5W computer is available for free download on this site (notice-facile.com) in PDF format. It is a wireless computer with a backlit LCD screen specific to the 5W model.

Basic installation: The computer operates with a CR2032 battery (3 volts) that needs to be installed before first use. Mount the computer on the handlebars or the bike's stem, then install the wireless sensor on the wheel along with the magnet on a spoke. The battery for the wireless sensor is also of the CR2032 type. Upon first startup, the computer prompts you to program your wheel size and the units of measurement (km/h or mph).

Main features: The TRIP 5W displays current speed, distance traveled, travel time, average speed, and maximum speed. The backlit screen activates by pressing and holding the left button and automatically turns off after 5 seconds to save battery. The computer supports two different wheel sizes, which is convenient if you use it on multiple bikes.

Maintenance: Replace the CR2032 battery approximately every 6 months or as soon as the computer displays erratic data. Before replacing the battery, note your current mileage (ODO counter) as it will be reset. Clean the computer with a soft cloth and avoid harsh chemicals. The computer is water-resistant.

Advanced configuration: The manual explains how to set the clock, customize the wheel size by exact rolling measurement, manage two bikes with two different wheel sizes, and use the buttons to navigate between different displays (speed, distance, time, odometer). Refer to the downloadable PDF for precise procedures.

Question 3

How to update the time on the BONTRAGER TRIP 5W bike computer?

Accepted Answer

To update the time on your BONTRAGER TRIP 5W bike computer, you need to access the clock menu (CLK) and change the settings to 12h or 24h according to your preferences, then adjust the hours and minutes.

Steps to set the time:

Scroll through the menu on the computer screen until you see CLK (clock) displayed
Press and hold the E button for 2 seconds to enter time setting mode
Press the scroll button multiple times to toggle between 12h and 24h format, then press the E button to confirm your choice
Press the scroll button multiple times to change the hour digit (which will blink), then press the E button to confirm
Press the scroll button multiple times to change the minute digit, then press the E button to confirm
The computer will automatically return to the clock display once your changes are complete

Important: the 24h format is ideal for easy reading of schedules throughout the day, while the 12h format (with AM/PM) is more traditional. Make sure your CR2032 battery is properly installed and in good condition, as a weak battery can cause malfunctions or loss of settings.

If after setting the time it does not display correctly or disappears after a few minutes, your battery probably needs to be replaced. The CR2032 battery typically lasts 6 months and should be changed if the computer shows erratic behavior or lacks responsiveness.
