BA TTERY INST ALLA TION The V100A head unit uses a CR2032 3V lithium button cell battery. IMPOR T ANT : Most cycle computer pr oblems are caused by weak or dead ba tteries. S ee the T roubleshooting section near the end of this manual for details. CA UTION: T o av oid damage to the battery cap, do not over tighten.
The V100A WL wireless speed transmitter (signal from the wheel) uses an A23 12V battery. Remove cap , install batter y with positive (+) side up, r eplace battery cap. CAUTION: Make sur e the transmitter b at t e r y c a p i s p ro p e rl y installed to insure good signal t r ansmission.
SETUP MODE & PROGRAMMING INTRODUCTION After battery installation, the master screen will appear briefly and the computer will automatically go into the Initial Setup program mode.
In the Initial Setup mode, after the master screen stops flashing , the screen displays the letters "bic no". The default setting is Bike "I". T o toggle between Bike I and Bike II settings , press Button #2. With Bike "I" icon flashing, press Button #1 to select it and advance to the next Setup screen.
This Setup screen allows you to turn the Altimeter function "ON" or "OFF" as you choose. The default setting for the Altimeter is "ON".
After Altimeter "ON" is selected, the computer advances to Altimeter Memory 1 Setup. This is the first of two Altimeter Memory settings in which the user can enter known elevation values to serve as quick, pre-ride Altimeter calibrations.
When programming Altimeter Memory 1, the number "1" appears just below the elevation figures (see illustration). When all the values for Altimeter Memory #1 have been set, press Button #1 to select it and advance t o Altimeter Memory 2 setting.
Step 1: Step 2: Measure the distance from the center of the front wheel axle to the ground in millimeters. (1 inch = 25.4mm) Multiply this distance by 6.
Step 1: Step 2: Step 3: T o enter a specific wheel size , press Button #2 to advance the flashing digit to the desired number . When the correct number is reached, select it by pressing Button #1.
Step 1: Step 2: T o set a service interval (in hours only) scroll to the first digit of the number you want to set using Button #2 and select it by pressing Button #1. Note: The Service Timer sets and displays whole hours only . I t does not display minutes.
The "M/hr" symbol will appear on the screen with the letter "M" flashing. T o select miles per hour as the unit of speed, press Button #1. T o scroll to kilometers per hour , press Button #2 and "KM/hr" will appear with the letters "KM" flashing.
A highlighted thermomet er icon indicates that the comput er is in the T emperature Setup screen mode. The flashing "F" indicates F ahrenheit. T o choose temper ature readings that are displa yed in the Fahr enheit scale, press Button #1 to select it and adv ance.
Bike I and Bike II have separate , programmable odometers. On a new computer the Odometer screen should read "00000" for both. T o confirm this initial zero setting , simply press Button #1 successively to select each flashing digit and advance to Sy stem Check.
T o change any v alues or correct any unit errors made during Initial Setup, you must re-enter the Setup program in NOM by pressing Buttons #1 and #2 simultaneously for 2 seconds in the SPD/DST screen mode with the RT/TT timers deac tivated.
Before any new ride , the V100A Altimeter must be recalibrated so that it "knows" the correct star ting elevation. Because elevation i s calculated via bar ometric pressure, changes in bar ometric pressure detected by the sensor change the eleva tion displayed on the AL T/% screen.
T o calibrat e the Altimeter , access the Pre-Ride Altimeter Calibration Setup program in NOM from the AL T/% screen. Press both Buttons #1 and #2 simultaneously for 2 seconds to enter t he Setup screens for Altimeter Calibration. A) The first scr een shows the Memor y 1 Altimeter setting .
The V100A Altimeter may also be calibrat ed by entering the current, local, barometric pressure at sea level either in Inches of Mercury (inHg) or in Millibars (mbar). T o access the barometric entry screens, press Button #2 to bypass the Manual Altimeter Elevation input screen (See point C above).
PERCENT GRADE VETT A uses a barometric sensor to gauge the (noise) changes in the air pressure which does not update constantly; this is why sometimes you may get v ar ying readings due to weather changes, fast ascents and descents or not enough change in altitude i.

x x x INST ALLA TION Step 1: Step 2: Step 3: Step 4: Step 5: Step 6: Step 7: Use the zip-tie supplied to hold loosely the wired speed sensor and mounting pad to the inside of either fork leg . We r ecommend mounting it as high up on the fork leg as possible to protect it from being hit by rocks, branches or other objects while riding.

x x x Install mounting pad and wired mounting bracket to the handlebar using the 2 zip ties provided . (F ig. 6) Tighten the zip ties so that the mounting bracket holds its position on the bars yet can be easily adjusted .
x x x HEAD UNIT The V100A head unit is designed to slide into the mounting bracket from the front to the back and lock into position. Y ou should hear an audible " CLICK " when the head unit has been properly locked into position. This indicates proper alignment between the c omputer head pins and the mounting bracket contacts.
