INSTALLATION - MAGNET AND SENSOR

Attach the speedometer sensor on the right fork of the front wheel using two of the cable ties provided. Make sure the sensor is curved toward the wheel, and that the smooth side of the cable tie is facing out. Do not fully secure the cable ties yet, as the sensor location might require some later adjustments (Figure 2).

Clamp the round magnet on a spoke on the right side of the front wheel (Figure 1). Adjust the position of the magnet so that when the wheel spins, the flat side of the magnet passes in front of the sensor (Figure 2).

Adjust the sensor and magnet location so that clearance between magnet and sensor is not greater than 1/5" (5mm) (Figure 3). Once well positioned, secure the cable ties on the fork and tighten the magnet screw on the spoke.

Note: Use caution when tightening the screw on the spoke as overtightening can strip the threads.

INSTallaTION - haNDIEbaR MOUNTING bRaCkET

Attach the mounting bracket to the handlebar with cord facing toward seat. If necessary, use the rubber shims provided to obtain a secure fit on the handlebar. Note that there is a rubber shim already glued inside the clamp that can easily be removed if needed.

Bracket can be attached to either the left or right hand side of the handlebar.

Shims will prevent slipping

INSTALLATION - SENSOR WIRING

Route the sensor wire up the fork blade, using the twist ties to secure it at the bottom and crown. Wire must not hang loosely. Leave enough slack to allow wheel to turn right and left freely. Route the remaining wire around the front brake cable and to the handlebar. Excess wire should be carefully looped and secured to the stem with a twist tie.

Note: Make sure twist ties do not interfere with safe operation of bicycle.

bATTERy INSTallATION

Remove the battery cover from the back of the computer using a coin. Install the battery with the positive (+) pole facing out and replace the cover. Should the computer screen show irregular figures, take out the battery and install again. This will clear and restart the computer.

Battery

(1.5V/L1142)

WHEEL SIZE INPUT

After installing the battery, the default wheel factor '2124' will appear with the digit furthest to the right blinking. This is the correct setting for a 26.6" (700 x 25C) tire. If this is your wheel size, press the upper button four times to confirm each one of the four digits. If this is not your wheel size, use the Wheel Diameter Size Chart on the next page to find the correct wheel factor (c). In the event your tire size is not included in this chart, multiply your wheel diameter (d) in millimeters by 3.1416 to determine the correct wheel factor (c).

To enter the correct wheel factor into the computer, press the lower button until the correct digit appears. Press the upper button to lock in the correct digit. Repeat until all four correct digits are entered. To return to the Wheel Size Input screen at any time, push the MAJOR FUNCTION reset button on the back of the computer (see RESET FUNCTIONS - BACK section).

KM OR MILE SELECTION

After wheel size input, the KM/M selection screen will appear. Press the dower button to choose between Kilometer (KM) and Mile (M). Press the upper button to confirm choice.

12 OR 24 HR FORMAT SELECTION

After Km or Mile Selection, the clock format screen will appear. Press the lower button to choose between 12 hour or 24 hour format. Press the upper button to confirm choice.

KG OR LB SELECTION

After the clock format selection, the Kg/Lb selection screen will appear. Press the lower button to choose between Kilograms (Kg) and Pounds (Lbs). Press the upper button to confirm choice.

Note: To modify your selection at any time, push the MAJOR FUNCTION reset button on the back of the computer (see RESET FUNCTIONS - BACK section).

WEIghT INPUT

Once the Weight unit is selected, the computer will ask the user to enter his/her weight. This will allow the computer to accurately estimate the number of Calories Burned while riding.

To enter the correct weight, press the lower button until the correct digit appears. Press the upper button to lock in the correct digit. Repeat until all digits are entered.

Note: The weight entered should be between 80–499 Lbs or 35–199 Kgs.

The computer is now in speedometer mode and is ready for use.

QUICKSTART

Now that the computer is configured, slide the computer into the mounting bracket toward bike seat until it is inserted all the way into the bracket. To check for proper installation, spin the front wheel. The data recording wheel icon to the left of the screen should be turning as the computer starts recording data (Refer to TROUBLESHOOTING section in case of problems).
