About the RD protection function

* Rotate the front chainwheel while restoring operation after the RD

protection function has activated.

In order to protect the system when the bicycle falls and is subjected to a

strong impact, the RD protection function will activate and momentarily

sever the connection between the motor and the link, impairing the

proper function of the rear derailleur. When this happens, hold the

junction [A] button down for 5 seconds or more. This will restore the

connection between the motor and the link, and clear the RD protection

function for the rear derailleur. When recovery cannot be performed via

button operations, it may be possible by hand. Check with the place of

purchase in advance.

Bonjour, lors d'une mise à jour des micrologiciels, mon SM-EW90-A n'est plus reconnu. Une restauration s'avère impossible. Tous les autres périphériques fonctionnent normalement avec une autre unité SM-EW90-A. Que faire ? Merci.
