3.8 Pairing of transmitters, selecting the transmitters
The speed, heart rate and cadence signals are transmitted to your computer in digital, encoded format. This technology is less prone to interference than analogue transmission, thus preventing data overlaps (cross talk) when cycling in a group. For the computer to acquire the digital encodings from the transmitter, pairing must occur:
Step 1 Select whether you want to view the heart rate or cadence or no heart rate/cadence data on the display.

Press and hold M + for three seconds. Press ALTI A or P to select the desired transmitter CADENCE or HEARTRATE or NONE (no heart rate and no cadence). Confirm your selection by pressing M.
HEARTRATE--SELECT OK? or CADENCE--SELECT OK? or NONE--SELECT OK? appears on the display. Confirm the selection by pressing M. The MC 2.0 confirms by displaying SENSOR SELECT-DONE.

Step 2 Place the computer into the handlebar bracket. The speed and HR or cadence displays now flash. If you have not selected a transmitter (heart rate or cadence), only the speed display flashes. The flashing indicates that the computer is searching for its transmitter.
Step 3 Now spin the front wheel or simply set off and the computer acquires the digital encodings (pairing). If the pairing process was successful, the speed and heart rate or cadence will appear on the display.
ATTENTION: the time window for pairing is five minutes. If you do not start cycling during these five minutes, no pairing takes place. The speed, heart rate or cadence will not be displayed. The pairing then has to be repeated:
- If the computer has gone into sleep mode, a new pairing process is started by pressing a button. Alternatively: Place the computer back into the handlebar bracket.

| 5 Installation | |
| 5.1 Fitting the transmitter, magnet and handlebar bracket | >>> P01 |
| Start by fitting the transmitter and magnet. ATTENTION: the distance between the transmitter and the computer on the handlebars should not exceed 70 cm (transmission range). Step 1 Place the rubber pad under the transmitter. Fit the transmitter on the same side of the forks where you later want to fit 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 transmitter must point to the spokes. Depending on the room available, the sensor can be fitted at the front of the forks, on the inner side (side showing to spokes) of the forks or pointing backwards on the forks. >>> P03 | Step 2 Place the spoke magnet around an outer spoke. The silver centre of the magnet points towards the transmitter. Align the magnet to the sensor mark on the transmitter leaving a gap of about 1 - 5 mm. Step 3 Align the transmitter and magnet for good and fasten them in place: pull the cable ties tight and push the magnet in firmly. Step 4 Decide whether fitting to handlebars or stem and rotate the base of the handlebar holder by 90° accordingly. To do so, undo the screws in the bracket, take out the foot and rotate it 90°, insert and tighten the screws again. ATTENTION: do not overtighten the screws. |

Step 5 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 6 If fitting to handlebars: align the computer angle to achieve optimum readability. Now pull the cable ties tight. Snip off protruding ends with clippers.
5.2 Installing the battery in the computer P07
Your VDO computer comes without battery built in. Before you start, please insert battery.
Step 1 Open the battery compartment lid with a coin.
Step 2 Place the battery in the computer casing with the +terminal pointing up.
Step 3 Make sure that the battery does not tilt.
Step 4 Ensure that the rubber seal lies flat on the battery compartment lid.
Step 5 Insert the battery compartment lid into the opening and use a coin to turn it to the right as far as it will go (approx. 1/3 turn).
Step 6 After inserting the battery, the computer will start the language select-mode. See chapter 6.1
TIP for changing batteries: VDO recommends changing the battery annually. Buy a new battery in good time to ensure the wireless transmission works perfectly. When the battery is changed, all settings and all trip totals are saved.
5.3 Inserting the computer into the handlebar bracket
The VDO twist-click system securely connects the computer to the handlebar bracket.
Step 1 Place the computer into the bracket in a 10 o'clock position.
Step 2 Twist the computer to the right until reaching the 12 o'clock position and click it into the bracket system.
>>>P08
Step 3 To remove the computer, twist it to the left (do not push or pull).

6.10 Setting the start altitude/home altitude
You can enter two different start altitudes in the MC 2.0. One start altitude can, for example, be your home start altitude. The second start altitude can, for example, be the start altitude of a holiday location. Before starting each trip, you can use the start altitude to quickly and easily re-calibrate the current air pressure in line with the start altitude set.
Topic: re-calibration
The MC 2.0 measures the altitude using the air pressure. The air pressure changes depending on the weather. The changed air pressure leads to an incorrect altitude reading. Through recalibration, the currently measured air pressure is calculated back to the set start altitude.

Press and hold for three seconds. SETTINGS-OPEN? flashes. LANGUAGE--SELECT--appears on the display.

6.11 Setting the current altitude/actual altitude
This area enables you to set the current altitude.
The current altitude is set if the air pressure has changed due to the weather and the altitude shown on the display no longer corresponds to the actual current altitude (e.g. the altitude details shown at the summit).
There are two ways of setting the current altitude. Enter the current altitude in meters/feet or the sea level pressure. On entering the sea level pressure, the current altitude is calculated.
Details of the sea level pressure can be found at www.meteo24.de, for example.
