Incorrect data appears.

The static electricity may cause an incorrect display.
Press the AC button and reset the speed scale and the clock time again.

Current speed does not appear.

Is there anything on the contact of the main unit or the bracket?
Wipe the contact clean.

Is the distance between the sensor and the bracket too far?
Are the magnet's center and the sensor's marking line aligning?
Adjust the position of the magnet and the sensor correctly.

Is the wire broken?
Replace the bracket & sensor part with a new one.

Transmission signal loss in damp or wet conditions.

Water or condensation may collect between the bracket sensor and the computer causing an interruption
in the data transmission.
Wipe the contacts with dry cloth. Contacts can also be treated with a water repellent silicon jell from an
automotive parts or hardware store. Do not use industrial water repellent; it may damage the bracket.

The S/S button does not start/stop measuring.

Is the unit in the Auto function?
In the Auto function, this button doesn't work.

When using the unit apart from bicycle, it doesn't measure altitude.

Is the bicycle symbol on (i.e. is it on the cycling mode)?
Clear off the bicycle symbol, and turn to the continuous measuring mode.

The unit does not measure altitude.

Is there anything clogged in the altitude sensor cover?
Clean it off according to "Daily Care". (If the cleaning still doesn't work, press the AC button; and reset the speed
scale, temperature scale and the clock time.)

The current altitude shows incorrect data.

Is the correction of the current altitude appropriately done?
The current altitude is influenced by the change of the pressure. Make corrections in each ride.
