Acquiring Satellite Signals, Time Setting and Auto Backlight

Acquiring Satellite Signals

The BC26 uses GPS for speed tracking. Ensure the device is outdoors with a clear view of the sky. It typically takes 15-90 seconds to locate satellite signals. Remain stationary while acquiring signals.

Time Setting

The time and date will be calibrated automatically after locating satellite signals. For detailed instructions on setting the time zone correctly, refer to the time zone setting chapter.

Auto Backlight

The device automatically calculates sunrise and sunset times. The backlight will be automatically activated from half an hour before sunset to half an hour after sunrise. The backlight turns off if no operation is detected for 15 seconds.

Time Zone Setting

1. Long press ⚙️ to enter the setting mode (P1~P3). P1 is for time zone setting, and the currently set numerical value will flicker.
2. Short press ⬆️/⬇️ to switch the numerical value.
3. Short press ▶️ to confirm the current setting and enter the next digit or the next setting (P2 metric / imperial setting).
4. The device will automatically save and exit after 15 seconds of no operation, or you can long press ⚙️ to exit the setting.

Diagram: Illustrates the time zone setting process. The left screen shows the device with time and units. Arrows indicate 'Long press' to enter settings and 'Short press' to increase/decrease values. The right screen shows the setting mode with a flickering time zone value (UTC) and prompts for confirmation or next setting.

Setting Metric and Imperial Units

1. Long press ⚙️ to enter setting mode (P1~P3), then short press ▶️ to enter P2 metric / imperial setting.
2. Short press ⬆️/⬇️ to switch between metric (KMH) / imperial (MPH).
3. Short press ▶️ to confirm the current setting and enter the next setting (P3 speed alert setting).

Diagram: Shows the transition from P1 to P2 on the device screen. It highlights the 'Short press' action to switch between KMH and MPH, and another 'Short press' to confirm and move to the next setting.

Maximum Speed Alert Setting

1. Long press ⚙️ to enter the setting mode (P1~P3), then short press ▶️ to enter the P3 maximum speed alert setting. The currently set numerical value will flicker.
2. Short press ⬆️/⬇️ to switch the numerical value.
3. Short press ▶️ to confirm the current setting and enter the next digit setting or the next setting.
4. Short press ?/? to set the prompt tone on / off. After the setting is completed, long press ⚙️ to exit, or no operation for 15 seconds will automatically save and exit.

Diagram: Illustrates setting the maximum speed alert. It shows the device displaying a speed value that can be adjusted using up/down buttons, then confirming with the play button, and finally setting the alert tone on or off.

GPS Positioning

1. Auto GPS positioning occurs after the bike computer powers on. Please start cycling only after GPS positioning is successful.
2. Ensure you are outdoors when positioning. Bad weather and dense forests can affect GPS signals. For better GPS signal, stand still for 3-5 minutes to establish more connections with satellites.
3. If GPS positioning is lost during riding, speed data (real-time, average, maximum) will be displayed as "---", while other data remains the same.

Signal Strength Indicators:

• ? (No signal)
• ? (Weak signal)
• ? (Normal signal)
• ? (Strong signal)

Diagram: Shows the bicycle computer screen with various GPS signal strength indicators (empty, half-filled, full satellite icons). It also indicates where speed data would be displayed and notes 'No Speed data display' when GPS is lost.

Cycling

Turn on the device. Short press ▶️ to start riding. Short press ⏸️ to pause/start. Long press ▶️ to end riding. The bike computer will automatically pause/start if the speed is 0, there is no data during riding, or the speed is too low. If there is no speed data during riding, the cycling computer will enter dormant mode after 15 minutes. It will return to the previous riding state after pressing ▶️ to turn it on.

Diagram: A sequence showing the cycling process. First, a countdown (3, 2, 1). Then, the device displays speed and distance during riding. An 'Automatically Pause' state is shown, followed by the device resuming after a 'Short press Pause/start'. Finally, a 'Long press to end' action is indicated.

Riding Data Display

Short press ⬆️/⬇️ to cycle through real-time speed, maximum speed, and average speed.

Short press ⬆️/⬇️ to cycle through time, distance, altitude, and time & distance display modes. The display mode automatically switches data.

Diagram: Shows different data display screens on the bicycle computer. One set shows speed variations (e.g., 28.6, 32.8, 26.2 KMH) with a note about 3-second automatic switching. Another set shows Time, Distance (DST), and Altitude (ALT) data, with a note about cycling switch and automatic data switching in Time & Distance mode.
