4. Setup

4.1 Battery Installation

The device requires a single battery for operation. If the display is blank or dim, battery replacement may be necessary.

1. Locate the battery compartment cover on the back of the unit.
2. Use a coin to unscrew the battery cover counter-clockwise until it is loose.
3. Carefully remove the cover.
4. Insert the new battery, ensuring correct polarity (+/-).
5. Replace the battery cover and screw it clockwise with a coin until securely tightened. Do not overtighten.

4.2 Speedometer Setup (Bicycle)

To use the device as a speedometer, follow these steps for bicycle installation:

1. Mount the Unit: Attach the handlebar mount to your bicycle's handlebars. The no-tools design allows for easy installation by hand. Ensure it is securely fastened and positioned for easy viewing.
2. Install the Sensor: Secure the wheel sensor to the front fork of your bicycle using the provided cable ties. Position it so that the sensor aligns with the wheel magnet.
3. Attach the Magnet: Fasten the magnet to a spoke on the front wheel. Ensure the magnet passes closely by the sensor (typically within 5mm) with each wheel rotation.
4. Route the Cable: Carefully route the sensor cable along the fork and frame to the main unit, securing it with additional cable ties to prevent interference with moving parts. Ensure the cable is not taut and has some slack for turns.
5. Connect the Cable: Plug the sensor cable into the designated port on the main unit.
6. Initial Calibration: Refer to the operating instructions to input your wheel circumference for accurate speed and distance readings.

4.3 Pedometer Setup (Walking/Running)

To use the device as a pedometer:

• Ensure the unit is detached from the bicycle mount.
• Utilize the built-in belt clip on the back of the unit.
• Clip the device securely to your belt or waistband, ensuring it remains upright and stable for accurate step counting.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Power On/Off and Mode Selection

The device typically powers on automatically when motion is detected or a button is pressed. To switch between speedometer and pedometer modes, or to cycle through different display functions (e.g., speed, distance, calories, time), use the designated mode button(s) on the unit. Consult the on-screen indicators for the current mode.

5.2 Display Readings

The extra-large, two-color display shows various metrics depending on the selected mode:

• Speedometer Mode: Displays current speed (e.g., M/H for miles per hour), distance traveled, total odometer, trip timer, and calories burned.
• Pedometer Mode: Displays step count, distance walked/run, calories burned, and trip timer.
• Clock: The current time is displayed in both modes.

5.3 Auto Start/Stop

The device features an auto start/stop function, which automatically begins recording data when movement is detected and pauses when you stop, conserving battery life and ensuring accurate trip data.

5.4 Quick Reset

To clear current trip data (distance, time, calories for the current session), locate and press the "Quick Reset" button or follow the specific button combination outlined in the full product manual (if available). This will reset the current trip without affecting total odometer readings.

5.5 Unit Selection (US or Metric)

The device allows you to switch between US customary units (miles, miles per hour) and metric units (kilometers, kilometers per hour). Access this setting through the mode or setup menu, typically by holding down a specific button or sequence of buttons until the unit option appears.

6. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the device with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Ensure the display and sensor areas are free of dirt and debris.
• Battery Replacement: Replace the battery as described in Section 4.1 when the battery indicator shows low power or the display becomes dim.
• Storage: Store the device in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures when not in use. If storing for an extended period, consider removing the battery to prevent leakage.
• Sensor and Magnet Check: Periodically check the bicycle sensor and magnet for proper alignment and secure attachment to ensure accurate speedometer readings.
