•To teach a new sensor, make sure that there are no other cadence sensors nearby (40 m/131 ft) and then select Yes.

After selecting Yes, Start test drive is displayed. Rotate the crank a few times to activate the sensor. The flashing red light indicates that the sensor is activated. Completed is displayed after the teaching has been finished. The training computer is now ready to receive cadence data.

To return to time mode, press and hold the STOP button.

Measuring Wheel Size

Select Settings > Features > Shoes/bikes > Bike 1/2/3 > Wheel

Wheel size settings are a prerequisite for correct cycling information. There are two ways of determining the wheel size of your bike:

Method 1

Look for the diameter in inches or in ETRTO printed on the wheel. Match it to the wheel size in millimeters in the right column of the chart.

Wheel sizes on the chart are advisory as wheel size depends on the wheel type and air pressure.

Method 2

Measure the wheel manually for the most accurate result.

Use the valve to mark the point where the wheel touches the ground. Draw a line on the ground to mark that point. Move your bike forward on a flat surface for one complete rotation. The tire should be perpendicular to the ground. Draw another line on the ground at the valve to mark a full rotation. Measure the distance between the two lines.

Subtract 4 mm to account for your weight on the bike to get your wheel circumference. Enter this value in the cycling computer.
