4. Instellen

4.1 Het apparaat opladen

Before first use, fully charge the bicycle computer. Connect the provided USB cable to the computer's charging port and to a standard USB power source (e.g., computer USB port, USB wall adapter). The display will indicate charging status. A full charge typically takes 2-3 hours.

4.2 Mounting the Bicycle Computer

1. Place the silicone handlebar mounting bracket on your bicycle's handlebar.
2. Secure the bracket firmly using the provided zip ties or integrated strap. The bracket is designed for tool-free installation and can be rotated 360 degrees for optimal viewhoek.
3. Slide the bicycle computer unit onto the mounting bracket until it clicks securely into place.

4.3 Installing the Speed Sensor and Magnet

1. Attach the speed sensor to the front fork of your bicycle using the provided zip ties. Position it so that the sensor head faces the wheel spoke.
2. Mount the magnet onto a spoke of the front wheel.
3. Adjust the position of the sensor and magnet so that the magnet passes within 3-5 mm of the sensor head with each wheel rotation. Ensure they do not touch.

4.4 Initiële instellingen

Upon first power-on or after a reset, you will need to configure basic settings:

• Taal: Select your preferred language (e.g., English, German).
• Eenheden: Kies tussen metrische (km/u, km) of imperiale (mph, mijl) eenheden.
• Wielomtrek: This is crucial for accurate speed and distance readings. Measure your wheel's circumference in millimeters (mm) or consult your tire's sidewall for a standard value. Enter this value into the computer.
• Tijd en datum: Set the current time (24-hour format) and date.
• Bike 1 / Bike 2: The computer supports two different bicycle profiles. Select 'Bike 1' for initial setup. You can configure 'Bike 2' later if you use the computer on a second bicycle.

Refer to the on-screen prompts and use the device's buttons (typically MODE and SET) to navigate and confirm selections.

5. Operating the Bicycle Computer

5.1 In-/uitschakelen

The device typically powers on automatically when motion is detected or a button is pressed. It will enter a sleep mode after a period of inactivity to conserve battery.

5.2 Weergavefuncties (14 functies)

• Huidige snelheid: Geeft uw realtime fietssnelheid weer.
• Gemiddelde snelheid: The average speed for the current ride.
• Maximale snelheid: The highest speed achieved during the current ride.
• Reisafstand: Afgelegde afstand tijdens de huidige rit.
• Totale afstand (kilometerteller): Cumulative distance covered since the computer was reset or first used.
• Reistijd: Duur van de huidige rit.
• Klok: Huidige tijd.
• Datum: Huidige datum.
• Temperatuur: Omgevingstemperatuur display.
• Calorieën verbrand: Estimated calories burned (requires user input of weight, if available in settings).
• 7-Day Memory Mode: Stores ride data for the past 7 days, allowing you to review your weekly progress.
• Scanmodus: Automatically cycles through various data displays.
• Stopwatch: Voor het timen van specifieke intervallen.
• Achtergrondverlichting: Activates the screen illumination for low-light conditions.

5.3 Achtergrondverlichting inschakelen

To activate the screen backlight, typically press and hold both the MODE and SET buttons simultaneously for a few seconds. The backlight will remain on for a short period or until deactivated.

5.4 Switching Between Bike 1 and Bike 2

If you have configured settings for two different bicycles, you can switch between 'Bike 1' and 'Bike 2' profiles through the settings menu. This ensures accurate data tracking for each bike's specific wheel circumference and accumulated distance.

6. Onderhoud

6.1 Reinigen

Wipe the bicycle computer and sensor with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive materials, as these can damage the display or casing. Ensure the USB charging port cover is securely closed after charging to prevent dust and moisture ingress.

6.2 Batterijonderhoud

The device uses a rechargeable lithium-ion battery. To maximize battery life:

• Zorg ervoor dat de batterij niet te vaak volledig ontladen wordt.
• Charge the device regularly, even if not used for extended periods (e.g., once every 1-2 months).
• Bewaar het apparaat op een koele, droge plaats wanneer het niet in gebruik is.

7. Probleemoplossing

• Geen weergave / apparaat gaat niet aan:
  - Ensure the battery is charged. Connect to a USB power source.
  - Press and hold the power/mode button for a few seconds.
• Onjuiste snelheids-/afstandsmetingen:
  - Verify the wheel circumference setting is correct.
  - Check the alignment and gap (3-5 mm) between the speed sensor and the wheel magnet. Ensure the magnet passes directly in front of the sensor head.
  - Ensure the sensor and magnet are securely attached and not moving during rides.
  - Check for any obstructions or damage to the sensor or magnet.
• No Wireless Signal:
  - Ensure the speed sensor battery (if applicable, check manual for specific model) is functional.
  - Check for strong electromagnetic interference from other electronic devices.
  - Ensure the distance between the computer and sensor is within the specified range (typically less than 60-70 cm).
• Display loopt vast of werkt niet goed:
  - Try performing a soft reset by pressing and holding the MODE and SET buttons simultaneously for an extended period (e.g., 10-15 seconds). If this doesn't work, a factory reset might be necessary (consult the specific manual for your model for factory reset procedures, as this will erase all data).
