Press and hold BAND/SET for a few seconds to select “mile” or
“km”.

“mile” flashes in the display.

Each press of the

ENTER/SELECT

toggles between “mile” and “km”.

The unit of speed is “MPH” for miles, and “km/h” for kilometers.

The initial setting is completed.

Tips

• When you choose the “mile”, the range is from 0.0 to 99 999.9 miles.
• When you choose the “km”, the range is from 0.0 to 159 999.9 kilometers. And

the maximum digit range is from 0 to 15.

Notes

• If you do not make any selections, for within about 65 seconds, or do press

TUNE/MODE

button during the initial setting mode, the setting mode will be

canceled and the unit returns to the previous mode.

• If you press the

LIGHT

button for within about 65 seconds during the initial

setting mode, the setting mode will be extended.

• If you cancel during initial setting mode, the value of the unit, wheel size and

total distance entered will be erased. The unit will revert to the previous setting.

• The cycle-computer will not activate during the initial setting mode.
• If you press

RADIO POWER

to turn on the unit during the initial setting

mode, the mode is canceled and the radio will activate.

• If you change the unit in the initial setting mode, the values showed in the total

distance (odometer) setting mode will be automatically converted into the new
setting unit. However, when you convert the unit from miles to kilometers, any
value over 159 999.9km is shown as 159 999.9km.

Displaying data

While cycling, current speed is always displayed and updated every second.

The highest speed that can be displayed is 124.2 MPH (199.9 km/h) and remains
