Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the computer unit and sensor with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Battery Replacement: Replace the CR2032 battery when the display becomes dim or functions become erratic. Ensure proper polarity during installation.
• Storage: If storing the bicycle for an extended period, remove the battery from the computer unit to prevent leakage. Store in a cool, dry place.
• Water Resistance: The unit is designed to be splash-proof, but avoid submerging it in water or exposing it to heavy rain for prolonged periods.

Troubleshooting

• No Display/Dim Display:
  Solution: Check battery installation. Replace the CR2032 battery if necessary. Ensure the battery is inserted with correct polarity.
• No Speed Reading:
  Solution: Verify that the wireless sensor is correctly positioned on the front fork and the magnet is securely attached to a spoke. Ensure the gap between the magnet and sensor is less than 5mm. Check the sensor battery (if applicable, some wireless sensors have their own battery).
• Inaccurate Readings:
  Solution: Confirm that the wheel circumference setting is correct. Ensure the magnet and sensor alignment is precise. Avoid strong electromagnetic interference sources.
• Unit Not Responding:
  Solution: Remove the battery, wait for 30 seconds, then reinsert it. This may reset the unit. If issues persist, contact customer support.
