Rotate the crank in the non-driving direction and check if cadence is displayed. If speed is not displayed, verify conditions A and B are met.

Operating the Computer

This section covers the measuring screen, starting/stopping measurements, switching functions, and resetting data.

Measuring Screen

The measuring screen displays various data points:

• Tm Elapsed Time: Total time elapsed during measurement (0:00'00" - 9:59'59").
• C Cadence: Current pedaling cadence (0(20) - 299 rpm).
• Dst Trip Distance: Distance covered in the current trip (0.00 - 999.99 km/mile).
• Dst2 Trip Distance-2: Second trip distance counter (0.00 - 999.99 / 1000.0 - 9999.9 km/mile).
• Av Average Speed: Average speed for the current trip (0.0 - 200.0 km/h or 0.0 - 125.0 mph).
• Mx Maximum Speed: Maximum speed recorded for the current trip (0.0(4.0) - 200.0 km/h or 0.0(3.0) - 125.0 mph).
• Odo Total Distance: Total distance accumulated by the computer (0.0 - 9999.9 / 10000 - 99999 km/mile).
