1.2. IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE DIGITAL WIRELESS SYSTEM

Your VDO series Z1 works entirely without cable; it works with double digital wireless transmission based on well-established ANT+Sport® wireless protocol. The ANT+Sport® wireless protocol has already been successfully implemented by manufacturers such as Garmin, Specialized, and Suunto. Speed signals, cadence signals (optional) to the respective receiver (computer) as digital and coded signals. Signal coding ensures that only the data of your own speed, and cadence (optional) transmitters are processed (this is advantageous when riding in a group).

The ANT+Sport digital technology is significantly more reliable than the technology of older analog systems. The ANT+Sport technology uses standard industrial wireless components, and it can best be compared to the technology used in modern WLAN networks. The connection between transmitter and receiver is more stable, and subject to significantly less frequent malfunction, and it is virtually completely safeguarded from data loss.

The speed transmitter has a memory component that buffers data every 65 sec. Thus no data is lost if there is a malfunction lasting for this duration. After the malfunction this data will be resent to the computer. Subsequently the following data will be updated:

Daily distance

Ride time

Average speed

Navigator

Total distance

Total ride time

After a malfunction the data can change suddenly = updating the computer. Initial operation of a completely digital system requires somewhat more care than does initial operation of conventional analog systems. The first time batteries are inserted, or after a battery change, the transmitter automatically generates a new code. The computer has to learn this code. To do this you must execute a DIG CONNECT SET. Strictly follow the instructions in chapter 3.3.1. to do this.

ATTENTION: Your VDO computer is not suitable for use on motorcycles.

The control system of your computer is based on dual assignment of the 4 main buttons. In this regard the devices distinguishes between operation mode and setting mode.

2. INSTALLATION

2.1. BATTERY INSTALLATION

2.1.1. BATTERY INSTALLATION - COMPUTER AND SPEED/CADENCE TRANSMITTER >>> P02

step 1 Insert the battery into the computer/transmitter housing with the + pole up.
step 2 Ensure that the battery is not tilted.
step 3 Ensure that the rubber seal lies smoothly on the lid of the battery compartment.
step 4 Insert the battery compartment lid into the opening and use a coin to firmly turn the battery door to right until the stop (approximately 1/3 turn)

TIP for changing batteries: VDO recommends changing the batteries yearly to avoid undesired data loss. Thus strictly ensure that you note the entered wheel sizes as well as the previous ridden kilometers for bike 1 & bike 2, as well as the total altitude difference for bike 1, bike 2, and the altitude difference walked. Reprogram this information after inserting the new batteries.

EN

2.2. INSTALLATION - HOLDER/COMPUTER/TRANSMITTER/MAGNET

a. Holder >>> P04/05: Your VDO computer is shipped with a universal handlebar holder.

step 1 You can mount the holder either on the handlebar or the stem. If you are installing the holder on the handlebar decide whether you want it on the right side or the left side. If installing on the stem, loosen the screws in the holder and turn the foot of the holder to stem installation. Then screw the foot firmly onto the holder again.

step 2 Route the cable ties through the provided eyes of the holder foot and pull both of them tight.

b. Computer>>> P07

The VDO twist-click system securely connects the computer to the handlebar holder.

step 1 Insert the computer, turned to the left approximately 45 degrees (10 o'clock position) into the holder.

step 2 Twist the computer to the right until it audibly engages (clicks) in the holder system (12 o'clock position).

step 3 To remove the computer turn it to the left (do not press or pull).

c. Speed transmitter and magnet >>> P06

Mount the transmitter on the same side of the handlebar that the computer is mounted on. If you have installed the holder on the stem then we recommend mounting the transmitter on the left side.

step 1 Loosely fasten the transmitter on the fork with cable ties (do not tighten).

step 2 Place the spoke magnet on a spoke

step 3 Align the spoke magnet to the transmitter marking with a clearance of approximately 3 mm and click it together.

step 4 Align transmitter and magnet relative to each other and tighten the cable tie on the transmitter.

Please pay attention to the maximum distances:

- Maximum transmitter-computer distance = 120 cm

- Transmitter-magnet distance: 3 mm to a maximum of 10 mm

2.3. MOUNTING THE COMPUTER ON THE WRIST BAND >>> P09

step 1 Insert the computer into the opened wrist band

step 2 Insert the lock into the wrist band holder from below

step 3 Turn the lock with a coin to tighten it

ATTENTION: Never use a screwdriver to operate the lock. This could damage the lock (if the lock should be damaged then you can get the lock as original replacement part)

After inserting the batteries we recommend that you first reset the device to factory settings to ensure that no residual data from the quality control process remains in the computer. This puts the computer into an assured start mode.

- Press the AC button for approximately 2 seconds with a sharp object, such as a pencil

step 4 M Confirm your language selection with M

3.3.1. MANUAL PAIRING - INITIAL OPERATION WIRELESS SYSTEM

For initial operation of the digital wireless system manual pairing must ALWAYS be executed. Manual pairing ensures that the computer learns the coding of the transmitter you are using.

step 1 Insert the computer into the twist-click holder

step 2 Ensure that there are no ANT+Sport digital transmitters other than the transmitter you are using within a 5-meter area around the computer

Your computer will randomly select one of 128,000 codes. This ensures that signals of other transmitters are not received or processed (e.g. when riding in a group). If dashes are shown in the display, in spite of pairing, you must repeat the manual pairing process. In doing so ensure that the distance between the magnets and the speed/cadence transmitter is not greater than 5 mm.

ATTENTION: Your computer can save the codes of up to 4 transmitters

  1. Speed transmitter of bike 1

  2. Speed transmitter of bike 2

  3. Cadence transmitter of bike 1 (optional)

  4. Cadence transmitter of bike 2 (optional)

IMPORTANT NOTE / Re-open of transmitter search for the receive channel after interruption

If no signal is received from an already paired transmitter after 15 minutes (for example riding without chest belt for Z2 and Z3, also PC-LINK models), the receive channel will be closed for this transmitter. In this case your VDO computer will show dashes for the respective function in the display. To re-open all receive channels press the ① and A buttons at the same time: Now your VDO computer will again receive all previously paired transmitters that are in range.

5. BICYCLE FUNCTION SETTINGS

5.1. Measuring and setting wheel size/s

In order for your VDO computer to measure correctly you must first measure the circumference of your wheel. If this value is set incorrectly

INSTRUCTION MANUAL

then all values calculated on the basis of this value, such as speed, trip, etc. will be wrong. To use your VDO computer on two different bikes e.g. mountain bike and road bike you can enter two different wheel sizes. Measuring the wheel circumference:

step 1 Align the valve of the front wheel so that it is precisely vertical to the ground
step 2 Mark this point on the ground with a line (use chalk for example)
step 3 Push the bike one wheel rotation forward until the valve is again vertical to the ground.
step 4 Mark this point on the ground as well.
step 5 Measure the distance between the two marks. The result is your wheel circumference (=roll circumference).
step 6 Enter the wheel circumference as described below into your VDO computer.

ATTENTION: If you have selected KMH display then you must enter the wheel circumference in mm. If you have selected MPH display then enter the wheel circumference in inches. The values listed in table

P10 are approximate values. These values deviate depending on brand of tire, tire height and tire tread.

7. POWER CALCULATION IN WATT

7.1 SETTING THE BASIC VALUES FOR POWER CALCULATION IN WATT (OPTIONAL)

IMPORTANT: Power calculation is only activated if the optional cadence extension is installed.

Power is calculated in WATT via a mathematical algorithm. Deviations from a real WATT measurement system are possible, particularly if there is a strong headwind or tailwind. The more precise the setting of the bicycle used, (its weight as well as your seat position), the more precise the displayed value will be.

IMPORTANT: If the cadence option is installed the WATT shows ZERO when you stop moving the pedals.

8. ALTITUDE FUNCTION SETTINGS

The altitude measurement function of your VDO computer is based on barometric pressure. The opening necessary in this regard on the underside of the device should not be manipulated (never poke a sharp object into this opening). Note the following for precise altitude measurement:

a. Prior to starting each trip you must enter a start altitude into your computer. If you always start your trip from the same location then you only need to enter the start altitude once.
If the start location changes then you must set the new start altitude.
b. Your VDO computer records barometric pressure changes (e.g. due to weather changes) in sleep mode as a change in actual altitude. If for example your bicycle is in the cellar for two days and the air pressure changes due to weather, then your computer will show a changed actual altitude. This is why the home altitude must be recalculated prior to starting each trip.
c. For longer trips the actual altitude should be readjusted at certain points (e.g. readjust to summit altitudes). Deviations can occur due to

EN

different weather conditions at the various points of the trip. You should make corrections so that the measurement is as accurate as possible. Tip home altitude:

You can obtain the correct information for the altitude of your home location or your usual trip starting point from your local weather bureau.

When planning trips you can find the original altitudes at certain points of your trip on special maps. These maps are available in book stores.

12. RIDING WITH THE NAVIGATOR

With the VDO Navigator you can complete trips according to Roadbooks (e.g. Moser Guide). Roadbooks are offered by many publishing houses for fantastic trips (for road bikes as well as mountain bikes) by many publishing houses. Taking a specified trip is facilitated thanks to the detailed km description of certain orientation points.

Note: This function is not available in walk mode.

The VDO Navigator is an independent km or mi counter and works in the following modes:

a. Counting down: To display the distance remaining to the next orientation point

b. Counting up: To display the distance covered since the last orientation point

Note: The Navigator always runs automatically even if you have not set it.

The Navigator km status can be set/changed at any point desired. Thus you can start in the middle of a trip or execute a km correction if you took a wrong turn.
