For the initial setting

(with the radio off)

The cycle-computer needs initial set up before using.

If the wheel size you set into the cycle-computer is not suitable for using actual

wheel size, it is not possible to measure speed and distance correctly.

1 Press and hold BAND/SET for a few seconds to select “mile” or

“km”.

“mile” flashes in the display.

Each press of the ENTER/SELECT toggles between “mile” and “km”.

The unit of speed is “MPH” for miles, and “km/h” for kilometers.

Select and show the desirred unit.

2 Press BAND/SET to set a wheel size.

The wheel size flashes.

Press ENTER/SELECT repeatedly to select your wheel size (inches). Each

press changes the display as follows.

26 27 28 12 14

1618202224

Note

The “mm” values shown on the display are approximate. Adjust the accurate size

of the wheel using Jog lever + or - after measuring diameter of your wheel.

It is recommend to set the wheel size in “mm” because the cycle-computer

calculates in “mm”. If you set the wheel size in “mm”, the range is from 300 to

750 mm.

Push and hold Jog lever to change the value rapidly.

3 Press BAND/SET.

“ODO” appears in the display, and the last digit of the total distance

(odometer) flashes.

If you do not change the odometer, jump to step 4.

To change the total distance

You can change the default setting of the total distance (odometer) using Jog

lever + or - (to increase or decrease) and ENTER/SELECT (to select

another digit).

4 Press BAND/SET again.

The initial setting is completed.

Tips

• When you choose the “mile”, the range is from 0.0 to 99 999.9 miles.

•When you choose the “km”, the range is from 0.0 to 159 999.9 kilometers. And

the maximum digit range is from 0 to 15.

Notes

• If you do not make any selections, for within about 65 seconds, or do press

TUNE/MODE button during the initial setting mode, the setting mode will be

canceled and the unit returns to the previous mode.

• If you press the LIGHT button for within about 65 seconds during the initial

setting mode, the setting mode will be extended.

• If you cancel during initial setting mode, the value of the unit, wheel size and

total distance entered will be erased. The unit will revert to the previous setting.

•The cycle-computer will not activate during the initial setting mode.

• If you press RADIO POWER to turn on the unit during the initial setting

mode, the mode is canceled and the radio will activate.

• If you change the unit in the initial setting mode, the values showed in the total

distance (odometer) setting mode will be automatically converted into the new

setting unit. However, when you convert the unit from miles to kilometers, any

value over 159 999.9km is shown as 159 999.9km.

Displaying data

While cycling, current speed is always displayed and updated every second.

The highest speed that can be displayed is 124.2 MPH (199.9 km/h) and remains

displayed beyond that speed. Below 2.5 MPH (4.0 km/h), 0.0 is displayed.

Displaying the odometer

Press MODE/FREEZE repeatedly until “ODO” appears.

The current total distance is displayed.

Note

If 99 999.9 miles (160 934.3 km) is exceeded, the odometer returns to zero.

Displaying trip distance

Press MODE/FREEZE repeatedly until “DIST” appears.

At the point you want to start calculating the distance, perform the zero reset

operation.

For details on how to perform the zero reset operation, refer to “Performing the

zero reset.”

Note

If 9 999.9 miles (16 093.3 km) is exceeded, the trip distance returns to zero.

Displaying riding time

Press MODE/FREEZE repeatedly until “RT” appears.

The “Hour: Minute: Second” is indicated in the display.

At the point you want to start calculating riding time, perform the zero reset

operation. For details on how to perform the zero reset operation, refer to

“Performing the zero reset.”

Riding time is updated every second.

When one wheel revolution takes over a second, riding time is updated when the

magnet passes the sensor.

If the interval at which the magnet passes the sensor is more than 1 minute, the

calculation is canceled.

Note

If the displayed “99:59:59” is exceeded, riding time returns to zero.

Displaying average speed

Press MODE/FREEZE repeatedly until “AVG” appears.

Average speed is calculated according to trip distance and riding time.

Displaying maximum speed

Press MODE/FREEZE repeatedly until “MAX” appears.

The maximum speed recorded to date is displayed.

Note

If either trip distance or riding time returns to zero, trip distance, riding time and

average speed simultaneously return to zero.

Performing the zero reset

The zero reset operation of trip distance, riding time and average speed are

performed simultaneously and cannot reset individually.

1 Press MODE/FREEZE to display either “DIST,” “RT” or

“AVG.”

2 Press and hold RESET for a few seconds.

“DIST,” “RT” and “AVG” flash.

3 Press RESET again.

The zero reset operation is completed, and “DIST,” “RT” and “AVG” are set

to zero.

You can reset maximum speed only. Select “MAX” in step 1, followed by step 2

and 3.

Setting Freeze mode

You can deactivate odometer calculation, trip distance, riding time, average time,

and maximum speed (except for current speed) with the Freeze mode.

1 Press and hold MODE/FREEZE for a few seconds.

“FREEZE” lights up, and the cycle-computer enters Freeze mode.

To cancel Freeze mode, press and hold MODE/FREEZE for a few seconds.

(“FREEZE” is no longer displayed.)

Standby mode

When your bicycle is stopped with the radio off, and no button is pressed for

more than 10 minutes, the cycle-computer enters Standby mode, and only the

current time is displayed.

To cancel Standby mode

When the unit is attached to the Mount

At the point where you start and the magnet passes the sensor, or you press any

active button, Standby mode is canceled. (The display returns to the previous one

before entering Standby mode.)

When the unit is not attached to the Mount

When you attach the unit to the Mount or press any active button, Standby mode

is canceled.

Note

If the cycle-computer enters Standby mode with Freeze mode activated, Freeze

mode is not canceled.

Using the Backlight

Press LIGHT.

The backlight will light for 10 seconds. If any buttons are pressed

while the backlight is on, the backlight will turn off 10 seconds after

pressing the button.

Setting the Clock

5 Repeat step 4 above to adjust the minutes.

“:” starts flashing and the clock starts operating.

To set the current time exactly to the second, adjust the minute setting and

then press ENTER/SELECT to synchronize it with a time signal (such as

the telephone time signal).

Note

If you do not push the Jog lever towards + or –, or ENTER/SELECT within

about 65 seconds, the clock setting mode will be canceled.
