1.2 IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE DIGITAL WIRELESS SYSTEM
Your VDO series Z works entirely without cable; it works with triple 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), as well as heart rate data are transmitted to the respective receiver (computer) as digital and coded signals. Signal coding ensures that only the data of your own pulse, 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 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
EN
2, and the altitude difference walked. Reprogram this information after inserting the new batteries.
2.1.2 BATTERY INSTALLATION PULSE-CHEST BELT >>> P03
Your VDO is shipped with the battery installed in the pulse-chest belt.
Proceed as follows when later inserting a replacement battery:
step 1 Insert the battery into the chest-belt housing with the +pole up.
step 2 Ensure that the battery is not tilted.
step 3 Strictly ensure that the rubber seal lies smoothly on the battery compartment lid.
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)
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 >>> P06
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 >>> P07
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. PUTTING ON THE PULSE-CHEST BELT >>> P08
step 1 First connect the one side of the pulse transmitter with the elastic strap, as shown. Press the ends of the pulse-chest belt into the plastic holder of the elastic strap
step 2 Place the pulse transmitter just below your chest and guide
INSTRUCTION MANUAL
the elastic strap over your back to the other end of the pulse transmitter
step 3 Connect the second end of the plastic strap to the pulse transmitter
step 4 Use the size adjustment of the elastic strap to adjust the chest belt to your chest size
Please note:
- Do not adjust the chest belt too loose; if it is too loose it can slip if there are jolts (e.g. when walking)
- When putting on the chest belt moisten the electrodes so that trouble-free function is also ensured when starting exercise, before contact is established through sweat.
- Range of the pulse-chest belt transmitter = 0.90 m
2.4. 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
3.2. LANGUAGE SELECTION
3sec. ① Setting mode LANGUAGE SELECT
step 2 M Confirm LANGUAGE SELECT with M
step 3 ▼▲ Press the up or down button until the desired language appears
step 4 M Confirm your language selection with M
3.3. 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 electrodes of the pulse transmitter belt are wet, or 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 5 transmitters

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 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
EN
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.

6. PERSONAL SETTINGS (YOUR DATA)
IMPORTANT NOTE: The personal settings are the prerequisite for calculating maximum pulse, training zones, and calorie consumption. Ensure that you make the personal settings first so that you can fully utilize the possibilities offered by the computer. Your personal maximum pulse is an important value. You can enter this value into your VDO computer if you know it from earlier measurements (e.g. at the doctor's office or from a performance test). If you do not know it then you can select automatic calculation of your maximum pulse.
EN
WARNING: Automatic calculation is based on average values for people that are athletic and healthy. The actual value can deviate from this average value for people who have not been athletically active for some time, or who after illness, are going through a rehabilitation program. Strictly ensure that you speak with your doctor before starting to train, so that he can confirm that training would not be associated with any adverse effects.

7.PULSE FUNCTION SETTINGS
The pulse functions of your VDO computer are based on the specification of three training programs each with 3 training ranges.
Limit 1 = program 1: for recovery training (high 70%, low 50% of max. pulse)
Limit 2 = program 2: program for endurance training (high 80%, low 70% of max. pulse)
Limit 3 = program 3: Training program for development ranges (high 95%, low 80% of max. pulse)
For automatic calculation of the training programs ensure that values are calculated that correspond to your personal settings (chapter 6). Also pay attention to the warning in chapter 6. All information concerning use and starting of pulse recording is provided in chapter 14.1-14.4.
7.1. AUTOMATIC CALCULATION OF PULSE LIMIT VALUES
Automatic calculation of pulse limit values functions only after entry of the personal data (chapter 6).
Your computer automatically assigns the following limit values to the three training programs
Limit 1 = HIGH 70%, LOW 50% of maximum pulse
Limit 2 = HIGH 80%, LOW 70% of maximum pulse
Limit 3 = HIGH 95%, LOW 80% of maximum pulse

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

- THE TIMING FUNCTIONS
The following settings are of particular importance when using the pulse functions (chapter 14).
Your VDO computer has 6 different timing functions. If one of the timing functions is running the TIMING indicator icon @will always be flashing in the left part of the display. Moreover the residence times in the training ranges are captured for each running timing function (see chapter Kap. 14). The setting range/measuring range for all timing functions is 0:00:00 h to 24:00:00 h
TIMER 1: You can program a time e.g. for interval training. TIMER 1 counts from zero forward. At the end of TIMER 1 there is a single beep. Timer 1 only functions if you have set a time. If you have forgotten to set a time your VDO computer displays TIMER ERROR
TIMER 2: You can program a time, e.g. for the rest phase in an interval training. TIMER 2 counts from zero forward. At the end of TIMER 2 there are two beeps. Timer 2 only functions if you have set a time. If you have forgotten to set a time your VDO computer displays TIMER ERROR
TIMER 1+2 runs until you stop these functions. Timers 1 + 2 only function if you have set a time. If you have forgotten to set a time your VDO computer displays TIMER ERROR.
COUNTDOWN: You can program a time, the timer will count backwards from this time. At the end of the COUNTDOWN time there is a single beep. Countdown only functions if you have set a time. If you have forgotten to set a time your VDO computer will display COUNTDOWN ERROR.
COUNT ERROR DOWN
LAP TIMER: Start Lap Timer with STW. Start next Lap with P + A at the same time at any point of the training unit. The following values will be saved:
INSTRUCTION MANUAL
- Duration of the lap
- Average heart rate on the lap
- Average speed on the lap
The lap values can be called at any time if time measurement is stopped.
STOPWATCH: With the manual stopwatch you can manually capture the plus values of training units.

13.6. STOPWATCH
Use of the stopwatch does not require any previous setting. After preselect (see chapter 13.1), it can be stopped or started at any time with stw.
INSTRUCTION MANUAL
14. TRAINING CONTROL WITH THE PULSE FUNCTIONS
See chapter 13 for information on making the settings. For focused training control it is necessary to keep the pulse in certain ranges through specific stress, see chapter 7.2. The different training programs are defined by a low limit and high limit. The pulse range between the two values is usually the target range for your training. After determining the pulse ranges (automatically or manually) your VDO computer records the residency period in the target range as well as the times above and below the target range. For real-time monitoring your VDO computer indicates when you leave the target range via an acoustic signal, if you have set this function beforehand (see chapter 13.1)
14.1. TRAINING WITH THE STOPWATCH
The stopwatch offers the easiest possibility for capturing pulse data. When the stopwatch is running pulse data is recorded. Interruption/continuation of the recording is possible at any time with STW.
step 1 Preparing the recording:

Note: All bicycle altitude and pulse function can also be called up during timer operation via the 1 2 A P buttons.
14.2. TRAINING WITH TIMER 1 / TIMER 2 / TIMER 1+2
Independently of each other Timer 1 or timer 2 offer the possibility of integrating intervals with manual control in the training.
Timer 1: Programmable timer with forward counting, auto-repeat function, single beep after elapse of timer 1.
Timer 2: Programmable timer with forward counting. Auto-repeat function, double beep after elapse of timer 2.
EN
Combination timer 1+2:
The combination of timer 1+2 can be set optimally for interval training: Timer 1 = active phase, timer 2 = rest phase. When timer 1 elapses a single beep sounds, when timer 2 elapses a double beep sounds. For timer 1+2 you can set the number of repeats. In this case time 1+2 runs until all repeats have elapsed or the measurement is interrupted by STW.
IMPORTANT: During timer operation the residence periods of the pulse frequency in the selected training ranges is recorded (compare 13.1) step 1 Preparing the recording

14.4. TRAINING WITH THE LAP TIMER
The lap timer of your VDO computer is designed for lap training. You can record up to 50 laps manually. In this case your computer saves the following values for each lap:
- Lap time
- Average pulse during the lap
- Average speed during the lap (IMPORTANT: no display in walk mode) With these values you have an outstanding method of analyzing the development of your performance if you always do the same laps. This could be certain mountain values or flat stretches on your training lap. The lap timer function can be set in bicycle mode and in walk mode.
Important:
- The values saved for the individual laps can only be shown in the display in recall mode after concluding the measurement.

NOTE for DATA RECORDING:
All lap data is also recorded when using DATA RECORDING (chapter 15) and is also transferred to the PC in the data transfer. With the aid of the „PC-Sport“ training software the lap data can then be displayed on the PC
15. THE DATA RECORDING FUNCTION & TRANSFER OF DATA TO THE PO
Your VDO computer is designed for recording data and transferring data to your PC. The recorded and transferred data can be analyzed on the PC. With the „PC-Sport“ software you can keep a training journal, track developments over certain periods, and specifically plan a program for getting in shape. All necessary elements for this application are included in the scope of delivery of your computer:
- Docking station with USB cable for transferring data to the PC
- CD-ROM with the PC-Sport training and analysis software
What happens when I record training units?
Your VDO computer generates a file/data record in its memory per training unit (start/stop see below). The following data is captured in this data record (after starting data recording) in a interval (10 / 20 sec.):
- All bike data (only under certain conditions in walk mode)
- All altitude data (only under certain conditions in walk mode)
INSTRUCTION MANUAL
- All pulse data (only under certain conditions in walk mode)
- Lap data if lap timer is used
- All cadence data (if the cadence kit is installe
Note:
If you are using the lap timers the lap data will have a flag. When transferring data from the computer to the PC the lap data are identified via this flag and are displayed and analyzed separately in the PC-Sport program.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING:
a. The storage capacity of the device is configured for a total of 100 training hours.
b. After this total time is exceeded the new data automatically overwrites the oldest data in the memory.
c. A manual delete of training data is not possible.
d. Due to the recording interval of 10 or 20 sec. there may be slight deviation between the data in your VDO computer and the data in the PC-Sport program (e.g. average pulse)
TIPP: Connect your VDO computer to your PC at regular intervals so that important data is not overwritten. Manual control/read out of the data records of the DATA RECORDING and a data delete is not possible on your VDO computer itself.
