11. USING A NEW ACCESSORY

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, and enables 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 > Bike1/2/3 > Speed > On/Off.Teach new sensor? is displayed

  • To teach a new sensor, make sure you are not near (40 m/131 ft) other Speed sensors. Then select Yes to confirm teaching. Start test drive is displayed. Rotate the wheel a few times to activate the sensor. 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.

  • Select No to cancel teaching and the already earlier taught speed sensor is taken into use.

Once the speed sensor is taught to recognize the cycling computer, it will do so even if the sensor has been turned off. When the speed sensor is turned back on Teach new sensor? is displayed. Select No. If Yes is selected, the monitor goes into teaching mode.
