1.Undo the flap and detach the foot pod from the fork.

2.Remove the black top cover by lifting it with the front edge of the fork (see picture 1).

3.Open the battery cover carefully. Pull out the battery case (see picture 2). Insert the battery (AAA) inside the battery case.

4.Insert the battery case back inside the cover. Make sure that the case slides into the sensor grooves. Be careful not to touch the switch on the foot pod* while sliding the battery case.

5.Make sure the sealing ring is in the groove, to ensure water resistance. Close the battery cover and place the black top cover on the foot pod. Make sure it is secured.

To measure speed/pace and distance accurately, make sure the foot pod is correctly positioned.

3.Fit the front part of the foot pod (closest to the red button) to the fork and press from the rear end. Fasten the flap. Make sure the foot pod does not move and is aligned with your foot. The more secure the sensor, the more accurately speed and distance are measured.
