MAINTENANCE
COMPUTER
If you notice a change in the display screen
contrast or if the figures become faint, it may
be time to replace the computer battery.
See “Battery Installation”. We recommend
replacing both the computer and transmitter
batteries at the same time.
TRANSMITTER
Periodically check the alignment of the wheel
magnet and transmitter and make sure the
space between them is 5mm or less. Remove
any signs of rust or corrosion from the magnet
to ensure proper function.
TROUBLESHOOTING
1. Computer display is blank or very light
The computer battery may be weak or
installed incorrectly. Make sure the battery
is installed with the positive (+) pole facing
the battery cover, or replace the battery with
a fresh one.
2. Computer display becomes dark or black
The ambient temperature may be too high.
Allow the computer to cool, and the display
will return to normal.
3. Computer display appears to update slowly
The ambient temperature may be too low.
When the temperature rises, the display
will return to normal. Note: Even when the
display is affected by cold, the computer will
continue to record data normally.
4. Absent or erratic speed reading
Check the alignment of the wheel magnet
and transmitter, and make sure that the
space between the two is 2 mm or less.
Adjust as necessary and re-test.
Make sure the computer transmitter
batteries are installed correctly and fully
charged. If in doubt, replace both batteries
with fresh ones.
Even coded wireless cycle computers are
occasionally affected by electromagnetic
interference from high voltage power lines,
motor driven equipment and other wireless
devices (such as heart rate monitors). If you
experience unusually high speed readings,
check your surroundings for possible
sources of electromagnetic interference and
move away from the source.

STEP 4:
Attach the wheel magnet loosely
to one of the spokes on the same side of the
wheel as the transmitter. Adjust the position
of the magnet and transmitter so that the
magnet passes the alignment mark on the
signal from the transmitter or the reading will
be inconsistent and erratic. Most problems
that occur when installing a new computer are
related to magnet and transmitter alignment
and spacing.
STEP 5:
Once the transmitter and wheel
magnet are aligned properly, securely tighten
both in place. Trim the excess zip-tie ends
from the transmitter with scissors or fingernail
clippers.
STEP 6:
Test the unit to make sure
everything is adjusted and working properly.
Pick up the front end of the bicycle and spin
the front wheel. The computer should register
a speed reading within 1-2 seconds. If not,
check the alignment of the wheel magnet and
transmitter and make sure the space between
the two is 2mm or less. Adjust as necessary
and re-test.
SELECT WHEEL SIZE OR
If you switch your computer between bikes
with different wheel sizes, don’t forget to
select the appropriate wheel size setting
before each ride.
STEP 1:
In the Total Odometer display
