• Power Button: Confirm you are pressing and holding the power button for a sufficient duration (typically a few seconds).

7.2 Display Shows Incorrect Information or No Data

• Compatibility: Re-verify that the display's communication protocol is compatible with your e-bike's controller. This is the most common reason for incorrect data or non-functionality. Refer to Section 2.
• Sensor Issues: If speed or mileage is incorrect, check the speed sensor and its magnet on your wheel for proper alignment and function.
• Parameter Settings: Ensure that personalized parameters like wheel diameter are correctly set (refer to Section 5.4).

7.3 Error Codes

The YL61F display has an error code display function.

7.4 Incorrect Pin Count (e.g., 6-pin vs. 5-pin)

The YL61F display uses a 5-pin connector. If your e-bike system requires a 6-pin or other connector type, this display will not be compatible. Always confirm the required pin configuration before purchase. If you have purchased a 5-pin display but need a different configuration, contact your seller for assistance.
