Operation Flow
The cyclocomputer displays the following information:
- Current Speed: Displays real-time speed (0.0-105.9 km/h or 0.0-65.9 mph).
- Odo: Displays total distance (0-9999.9 km/mile).
- Dst: Displays trip distance (0.00-999.99 km/mile).
- Clock: Displays the current time (0:00-23:59 or 1:00-12:59).
Use the MODE button to cycle through functions and the SET button to confirm settings or move between digits during setting.

- Press SET again to confirm the clock setting and return to the measuring screen.
If speed unit is set to km/h, the 24-hour system is used. If set to mph, the 12-hour system is used.
Battery
The computer and sensor use CR2032 lithium batteries. Replace batteries when the display is dim or sensor reception is poor.
Troubleshooting and Maintenance
Troubleshooting
- No display: Check if the computer battery is depleted. Replace it and re-enter settings.
- Incorrect data: Perform an "All Clear" operation.
- Sensor signal icon does not flash:
- Reduce the distance between the sensor and computer.
- Adjust the magnet's position to ensure it passes through the sensor zone.
- Check if the computer is installed at the correct angle (bottom surface facing the sensor).
- Ensure the distance between the computer and sensor is not too great.
- Check if the sensor or computer battery is weak, especially in cold weather. Replace batteries.
