Mounting the system
1. Mounting the handlebar holder
The handlebar holder fits handlebars of any diameter. Before mounting the system, decide if you will be using your left or right hand
to operate the computer and then mount the handlebar holder on the respective side. Position the handlebar holder, insert the strap
and adjust it by tightening the screw.
Warning: Before tightening the handlebar holder, make sure to adjust the position of the computer head (inclination) when the LCD-
display is best visible for you. Only when you find the best position tighten the screw.

Watch out: Do not tighten the cable
ties yet! Accurately position the spoke
magnet and the sensor first, then
tighten the cable ties.

In case this distance is not
achievable in the current positioning,
slide the sensor and the magnet on
the fork or spoke accordingly.
4. Twist-Click mounting of computer onto holder
The Twist-Click mounting has been exclusively developed for the new line of VDO
CYTEC computers. The computerhead is put onto the handlebar and by a right turn
of the computerhead (TWIST) fixed to the holder (CLICK).
It is just as easy to remove the computerhead from the handlebar holder.
Slightly push the computerhead down, twist it to the left, remove computerhead from
handlebar holder.

The second trip counter TCNT is reset to zero by pressing MODE 2 key for 5 sec. Before resetting to zero, make sure that TCNT
information is called into display.
