2. Mounting Instructions

STEP 1: Attach the wheel sensor to the right or left fork using two quick ties (diagram #1).
MOUNTING SENSOR MOUNTING MAGNET (Front Wheel) Note: Do not fully tighten quick ties until final placement is determined. We recommend a sensor placement of 1-2 inches up from hub axle (diagram #1). Position sensor and wire on backside (toward rider) of fork blade to offer protection from debris while riding. STEP 2: Attach magnet to spoke using screwdriver (diagram #2) so magnet lines up directly across from one of the flat round dots at the lower or upper portion of wheel sensor with a distance of 1-2 mm between sensor and magnet (diagram #3). Caution: Do not over-tighten magnet screw. STEP 3: Attach the wire harness to the fork using quick ties (diagram #1). Excess wire can be wrapped around brake cable before securing bracket to handlebar. Note: Allow slight wire slack between fork and brake cable for turning handlebars. STEP 4: Attach the computer bracket to the handlebars near the stem (diagram #4). Use any combination of rubber shims to fit different diameter handlebars. Tighten the screw so the bracket will not rotate on the handlebars. Slide the computer head into the bracket until it MOUNTING BRACKET "snaps" into place. STEP 5: TEST. Install computer head into bracket and rotate front wheel to test for proper function of magnet/wheel sensor alignment. The mph/kph indicator will flash if the sensor and magnet are properly aligned. Tighten quick ties on sensor when correct alignment is acheived. TO REMOVE COMPUTER HEAD FROM BRACKET: Push the computer in the opposite direction you would to mount it (diagram #5). The computer head will "snap" out. Note: You may have to push hard, do not be afraid of breaking it, it will pop out.

5. Computer Setup and Programming
The Proteg comes with the battery preinstalled. Setup and Programing are facilitated by using the "set" and "mode" buttons loc ated on the underside of the computer case (diagram #6). To initiate programming, press "mode" button to display SCREEN 1, with "ODO" displayed on line 4. Depress and hold the "set" button for 3-4 seconds (use a pen or other such pointy object). Upon release, the M/H or K/H icon will flash. 1) Miles or Kilometers Selection: Once "M/H" or "K/H" is flashing, press "mode" to switch to desired selection. Press "set" to lock in your selection and advance the screen to Wheel Size Setting. 2) Wheel Size Setting (WSS): The screen will now display default WSS "2154" with the "4" flashing. * Background information: The bicycle computer calculates information based upon the distance traveled each time your wheel goes around. The wheel size setting equals the distance in mm traveled in one revolution of your wheel. There are two methods to determine the wheel size setting. * For WSS less than 1000mm, input your WSS in WSS. WSS does not allow a size less than 1000mm. Method 1: Read the tire size on the side wall of your tire and input the number that corresponds to your tire size on the wheel size chart to the right. Since there are many tire manufacturers and designs, tires listed as the same size from different manufacturers can actually vary significantly in their actual circumference. Therefore, we recommend for maximum accuracy in you computer readings, to use Method 2. Method 2: Wheel Roll Out: For best results, find a flat smooth surface to perform the wheel roll out and inflate your tires to riding pressure. 1) Place a piece of masking tape or draw a line on the surface to determine a starting position. 2) Position the front tire valve at the 6:00 position (diagram #7) directly above the staring position. 3) Roll the bicycle forward one revolution of the wheel on a straight line until the valve stem is again at the 6:00 position. (Note: Putting pressure on the handle bars to simulate body weight on the tire will give more accurate results.) Mark the finishing position with masking tape or a line. Repeat the procedure if necessary and average the results. Measure the distance between the starting and finishing positions in mm, this is your WSS. (Note: If you use an inch measuring tape, multiply inches by 25.4 to achieve mm.) This is your WSS in mm.
