4.3 Button Definitions
There are three buttons on the operating unit of display YL81C: the on/off button [power symbol] ?, the plus button [plus symbol] ➕, and the minus button [minus symbol] ➖.
5. General Operation
5.1 Power On/Off
By pressing and holding the [power symbol] ? button, the display will start to work and the working power supply of the controller will be turned on. In the power-on state, by pressing and holding the [power symbol] ? button, your e-bike will be powered off. In the power-off state, the display will no longer use the battery power, and its leakage current will be less than 1uA. If your e-bike is not used for more than 10 minutes, the display will be automatically powered off.
5.2 Display Interface
After the display is turned on, the display will show the real-time speed (km/h) and the trip distance (km) by default. By pressing the [mode button], the information displayed will be switched between the trip distance (km), ODO (km), maximum speed (km/h) and average speed (km/h). When the distance reaches 9999.9 km, it will be automatically reset to zero.
