BATTERY INSTALLATION: To install the battery, turn the computer over and remove the battery cover using a coin (diagram #6). Install the
battery (model CR2032 3V Lithium) with the "+" side facing up. Replace the battery case, making sure that the rubber gasket is in place and
the batter cover is flush with the battery case. Refer to the text below to setup computer. The battery should last for 6 months with normal
use.
1) ENTER THE PROGRAMMING MODE by clicking the mode button (diagram 6) until “ODO” is displayed on line 4. Using a pen or the end of
a bent paper-clip, depress and hold the set button for 3-4 seconds. Upon release, “M/H” or “KM/H” will flash in the upper right of the
screen.
2) TO SELECT MILES/HOUR (M/H) OR KILOMETERS/HOUR (KM/H,) press the mode button. Press the set button to lock in your selection
and the screen will display “2154” with the “4” flashing.
3) DETERMINING THE WHEEL SIZE SETTING (WSS) can be done in two ways. Please note that for WSS less than 1000mm, you must input
your WSS in WSS 2 “ ”. WSS 1 “ ” does not allow a size less than 1000mm.
METHOD 1: Read the tire size on the side wall of your tire and input the number that corresponds to your tire size on the wheel size chart to
the right. Since there are many tire manufacturers and designs, tires listed as the same size from different manufacturers can actually vary
significantly in their actual circumference. Therefore, we recommend using method 2 for maximum accuracy in you computer readings.
METHOD 2: Wheel Roll Out: For best results, find a flat smooth surface to perform the wheel roll out and inflate your tires to riding pressure.
1) Place a piece of masking tape or draw a line on the surface to determine a starting position.
2) Position the front tire valve at the 6:00 position (diagram #7) directly above the starting position.
3) Roll the bicycle forward one revolution of the wheel on a straight line until the valve stem is again at the 6:00 position. (Note: Putting
pressure on the handle bars to simulate body weight on the tire will give more accurate results.) Mark the finishing position with masking
tape or a line. Repeat the procedure if necessary and average the results. Measure the distance between the starting and finishing positions
in mm, this is your WSS. (Note: If you use an inch measuring tape, multiply inches by 25.4 to achieve mm.) This is your WSS in mm.
4) INPUTING WHEEL SIZE SETTING (WSS)
A) Press “mode” button to change “flashing” first digit to desired selection.
B) Press “set” button to lock in your selection and advance to the next flashing digit.
C) Repeat steps A-B until all four digits are set. After the forth digit is set, it will
advance the screen to Odometer setting.

4) THE MODE BUTTON WILL NOT WORK DURING SETUP.
This is usually caused by the set button being slightly stuck inside the
computer. Try bending a paper clip and use the end to wiggle the set
button around until it pops and is flush with the computer case. This
will unlock the mode button and make it possible to set up the
computer.
5) THE LCD SCREEN GOES BLANK AND COMPUTER RESETS.
Take out the battery and bend the two metal contacts towards the
battery to help establish better contact. Re-insert the battery.

The computer does not record speed or mileage. I changed the battery in both the computer and the wheel sensor several days ago. When I spun the front wheel after the wheel sensor battery change speed registered on the computer. 2 Days later no speed or distance is recorded/sensed when I spin the wheel. The computer screen does correctly show the time and temperature. The screen would go dark except for the time during my ride. Initially all the display lines read 00000 when I started out. Resetting the computer by pushing it forward in the bracket did not correct the problem. The computer , sensor and magnet are all in the same position they have been for years during which everything worked fine.
