10 Edge™ 205/305 Owner’s Manual

GETTING STARTED

Position the Edge

For best results, position the

Edge with the face oriented

toward the sky. This position

allows the GPS antenna to

acquire satellite information

quickly.

You can install the bike mount

to the stem or handlebars. The

stem installation (shown here)

provides a more sturdy location.

The optional wedge should be

used under the mount for a better

viewing angle.

To install the Edge on your

bike stem:

1. Place the wedge on the bike

stem, and then place the bike

mount on the wedge. Make

sure the release lever is on

the left.

wedge

(optional)

bike mount

release

lever

For horizontal bars: Separate

and remove the top part of the

mount, turn it 90 degrees, and

replace. Continue with step 2.

For bars with a diameter less

than 1 in (25.4 mm): Place the

additional rubber pad under

the bike mount to increase the

diameter of the bar. The rubber

pad also keeps the mount from

slipping. Continue with step 2.
