5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Button Functions
- MODE Button: Press to cycle through different display modes (functions). Press and hold for 3 seconds to enter setting mode.
- SET Button: Used to confirm settings or reset values in setting mode.
5.2 Initial Setup (Wheel Circumference)
Accurate speed and distance readings depend on correct wheel circumference settings.
- With the computer on, press and hold the MODE button for 3 seconds until the display shows '2060' (default circumference).
- The first digit will flash. Use the SET button to adjust the value.
- Press MODE to move to the next digit. Repeat until all four digits are set to your wheel's circumference in millimeters (e.g., 2100 for a 700x23C tire).
- Press MODE again to confirm and exit the setting mode.
5.3 Switching Modes
Press the MODE button repeatedly to cycle through the various functions such as SPD (Speed), ODO (Odometer), DST (Trip Distance), MXS (Maximum Speed), AVS (Average Speed), TM (Riding Time), SCAN, etc.
