7. USING A NEW ACCESSORY

A new sensor purchased as a separate accessory has to be introduced to the cycling computer. This is called teaching and takes only a few seconds. Teaching ensures that your cycling computer receives signals from your sensor only, enabling disturbance-free exercise in a group. If you have purchased the sensor and the cycling computer as a set, the sensor has already been “taught” to work together with the cycling computer. You just need to activate the sensor in your cycling computer.

You can teach one speed, cadence and power sensor for each bike setting.

Teaching a New Speed Sensor

Select Settings > Bike SET > Bike1/ 2 / 3 > Speed SET > ON. Speed TEACH? is displayed

•To teach a new sensor, make sure you are not near (40 m/131 ft) other speed sensors. To confirm teaching, press OK. Test drive is displayed. To activate the sensor, press OK and rotate the wheel a few times. A flashing red light indicates that the sensor is activated. Completed! is displayed once the teaching process is over. The cycling computer is now ready to receive speed and distance data.

•If Teaching FAILED is displayed, the cycling computer may be detecting the signal of more than one sensor or the sensor is not activated. Make sure you are not near (40 m/131 ft) other speed sensors and press OK. Try again? is displayed. Press OK and rotate the wheel a few times to activate the sensor.

•If you want to cancel teaching, press STOP. The already taught speed sensor is taken into use.
