Reset Rider 15

To reboot the Rider 15, press the MENU [☰] and OK [OK] buttons simultaneously.

Step 1: Charge your Rider 15

Connect the Rider 15 to a PC to charge the battery for at least 4 hours. Unplug the device when it is fully charged. The battery icon may blink when the battery is very low; keep the device plugged in until it is properly charged. The suitable temperature for charging is 0°C ~ 40°C.

Step 2: Turn On Rider 15

Press the Power/OK [⏻]/[OK] button to turn on the device.

Step 3: Initial Setup

When turning the Rider 15 on for the first time, a setup wizard will appear. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the setup, including selecting the unit of measurement and temperature.

Step 4: Acquire Satellite Signals

Once powered on, the Rider 15 automatically searches for satellite signals, which may take 30-60 seconds for the first use. The GPS signal icon [?] appears when GPS is fixed. An 'X' icon appears if the signal is not fixed. Avoid obstructed environments like tunnels, inside buildings, underwater, near high-voltage wires, or in heavy traffic areas, as these can affect GPS reception.

Note: Cadence or speed values may blink when sensors have low power. Ensure correct battery installation (positive connector first) to avoid damage. Be careful not to damage the O-ring gasket. Dispose of used batteries responsibly.

Smart Heart Rate Monitor: Contains a user-replaceable CR2032 battery. To replace:

1. Locate the circular battery cover on the back of the monitor.
2. Use a coin to twist the cover counter-clockwise.
3. Remove the cover and battery.
4. Insert the new battery with the positive connector facing upward and press gently.
5. Use a coin to twist the cover clockwise.

Note: Heart rate values may blink when the sensor has low power. Be careful not to damage the O-ring gasket. Dispose of used batteries responsibly.

Install Rider 15

Use Bike Mount to Mount Rider: Follow the diagrams to attach the Rider 15 to your bike's handlebars.

Use F-Mount to Mount Rider (Optional): Follow the diagrams for optional F-Mount installation.

Install the Speed/Cadence Sensor (Optional)
