When you receive a signal, tightly secure the sensor so it does not move. Note When the computer does not indicate the speed/cadence, check the position of the magnet and the sensor.

Rotate the rear wheel.

Rotate the crank arm
Mount the wheel magnet and speed sensor
Mount the wheel magnet 6 on a spoke of the rear wheel so the surface of the magnet faces the sensor. Mount the speed sensor 3 (long cord) on the left chainstay with nylon ties 9. Note The nylon ties can only be used once, please install with care.

Troubleshooting No display appears. Is the battery dead? Replace it and do all clear procedure. Strange data appears Do all clear procedure. Data of odometer is also erased. Measurements do not start when the START/STOP button is pushed. Is the icon ON? Turn the Auto-Mode off to enable the start or stop of the measurements by manual operation of the button. No speed or cadence data can be measured. The contacts to be short-cir(If the speed or cadence data is not displayed, have the contact cuited intermittently are located points short-circuited a few times by a metal plate. In the case on the back. that this short-circuiting is detected by the computer, the computer is considered normal and the bracket and the sensor possibly have the cause of trouble.) Is the gap between the sensor and the magnet too big? (should be within 5 mm) Speed Cadence Does the marked line of the sensor align with the center of the magnet? Adjust the position of the magnet and the sensor. Wipe the contact points of the bracket or computer clean. Is the cord broken? Even if the outside of the cord looks normal, there could be damage.
