⚠️ Warnings and Precautions
- Do not concentrate on the computer while riding. Pay attention to your safety while riding!
- Install the magnet, sensor, and bracket securely. Check them periodically.
- If a child accidentally swallows a battery, seek immediate medical attention.
- Avoid exposing the computer to direct sunlight for extended periods.
- Do not disassemble the computer.
- Do not drop the computer. This may cause malfunction.
- When using the computer while it is attached to the bracket, press the MODE button in the area of the three dots below the screen. Pressing too hard on other areas may cause malfunction or damage.

How to Measure Tire Circumference: Mark a point on the tire tread. Roll the bicycle forward one full revolution, marking the end point. Measure the distance between these two marks. This is your actual circumference. Alternatively, use the approximate circumference from the table above based on your tire size.
4. Set Clock
When the MODE button is held down, the display will cycle through "Displayed Time", "Hours", and "Minutes" in that order. You can set the time using the MODE button to increase values and the MENU button to save and move to the next setting. You can also switch between 12-hour and 24-hour formats.
Installation on Your Bicycle
Parts List
- 1. Zip Tie
- 2. Bracket
- 3. Nut
- 4. Speed Sensor
- 5. Cadence Sensor
- 6. Wheel Magnet
- 7. Crank Magnet
- 8. Sensor Gasket (Center)
- 9. Bracket Gasket
- 0. Cable Ties (x10)
Install Sensor and Magnet
Diagram A: Alignment The magnet must pass through the sensor line.
Diagram B: Spacing The distance between the sensor surface and the magnet must not exceed 3 mm (approx. 0.12 inches).
If installing the cadence sensor (5), use the sensor gasket (8) if necessary.
1. Install Speed Sensor and Wheel Magnet
Attach the speed sensor (4) to the rear wheel's chainstay. Attach the wheel magnet (6) to a rear wheel spoke. Ensure it is securely tightened.
2. Install Cadence Sensor and Crank Magnet
Attach the cadence sensor (5) to the left chainstay (inner side). Attach the crank magnet (7) to the inside of the left crank arm. Ensure it is securely tightened.
3. Route the Cable
Use the cable ties (0) to secure the sensor cable along the bicycle frame. Route the cable around the rear brake cable as shown. ⚠️ Caution: Turn the handlebars to ensure the cable does not restrict full rotation.
4. Mount Bracket on Stem or Handlebar
Attach the bracket (2) to the stem or handlebar using the zip ties (1) and nut (3). ⚠️ Caution: Ensure the cable is not pinched when tightening the bracket, especially on the stem or handlebar.
For Wing Shape handlebars and Oversize stems, use the optional mounting adapter with bracket and zip ties.
⚠️ Caution: Round off the cut edge of the zip tie to avoid injury.
5. Attach/Remove Computer
To attach the computer, align it with the bracket and push it forward until it clicks into place. To remove, hold the computer firmly and push it forward and upward.
Post-Installation Check
Verify that the speed and cadence sensors are functioning correctly.
- Speed Sensor: Lift the rear wheel off the ground and turn the wheel. Check if the speed is displayed.
- Cadence Sensor: Press the MODE button to display 'C' (Cadence). Turn the crank arm in the opposite direction of travel. Check if the cadence is displayed.
If speed is not displayed, check if conditions A and B (magnet alignment and spacing) are met.
Operating the Computer
Measurement Screen
When the computer is attached to the bracket, press the three raised dots below the screen to access the measurement screen.
- Current Time (Tm): 0:00'00" - 9:59'59"
- Cadence (C): 0 (20) - 299 rpm
- Total Distance (Dst): 0.00 - 999.99 km [mile]
- Distance 2 (Dst2): 0.00 - 999.99 / 1000.0 - 9999.9 km [mile]
- Average Speed (Av): 0.0 - 200.0 km/h [0.0 - 125.0 mph]
- Maximum Speed (Mx): 0.0 (4.0) - 200.0 km/h [0.0 (3.0) - 125.0 mph]
- Odometer (Odo): 0.0 - 9999.9 / 10000 - 99999 km [mile]
- Clock: 0:00 - 23:59 or 1:00 - 12:59
- Temperature Arrow: Indicates if current speed is faster (▲) or slower (▼) than the average speed.
- Current Speed: 0.0 (4.0) - 200.0 km [0.0 (3.0) - 125.0 mph]
- Selected Mode
Start/Stop Measurement
Measurements are taken automatically once the bicycle starts moving. The km/h or mph indicator will blink during measurement.
Mode Sequence
Pressing the MODE button cycles through the computer's functions in the following order: Tm, C, Dst, Dst2, Av, Mx, Odo, Clock.
Data Reset
To reset measurement data to zero, display any data other than Dst-2, then press and hold the MODE button. If you press and hold MODE while Dst-2 is displayed, only Dst-2 will be reset to zero. The total distance (Odometer) is never reset.
Power Saving Mode
If the computer receives no signal for one hour, it enters power saving mode, displaying only the clock. When the unit is in power saving mode and receives a signal from the sensor or the MODE button is pressed, the main display will reappear.
Changing Computer Settings [Menu Screen]
To access the menu screen, press MENU while the measurement screen is displayed. Each press of the MODE button displays the relevant menu screen. Pressing and holding MODE changes the setting for the displayed menu.
- Wheel Selection: Switch between pre-set wheel sizes (tire circumference) for use with two bicycles. Use the MODE button to toggle between options.
- Tire Size Input: Press MODE to increase the value, and press and hold MODE to move to the next digit. Use the "Wheel Selection" to display the size you wish to input.
- Clock Setting: Refer to "Computer Setup - 4. Set Clock".
- Manual Odometer Input: Record the total distance before resetting the computer. You can manually enter this distance later. Press MODE to increase the value, and press and hold MODE to move to the next digit.
- Speed Unit: Press MODE to switch between km/h and mph.
⚠️ Important: After making changes, press MENU to save the settings.
If the menu screen is not touched for one minute, it will return to the measurement screen.
Troubleshooting
- MODE button does not function when the computer is in the bracket: Ensure no dirt is between the bracket and the computer. Rinse the bracket with water to remove dirt and check if the computer inserts and removes easily.
- Speed (Cadence) is not displayed:
- Periodically connect the computer's contacts on the computer multiple times with a metal object while observing the display. If a numerical value appears, the computer is functioning normally.
- Is the distance between the sensor and magnet too large? (Must be ≤ 3 mm)
- Does the magnet pass through the sensor line? Adjust the positions of the magnet and sensor to align them.
- Is there foreign matter on the computer and/or bracket contacts (preventing clean contact)? Clean the contacts.
- Ensure no cable is frayed or damaged. Even if it appears intact externally, it may be damaged internally. Replace the sensor mounting set.
- No display: Is the computer battery weak? Replace the battery. Then restart the computer as described in "Computer Setup".
- Incorrect data appears: Restart the computer as described in "Computer Setup".
