Turning the HMD Unit On 

SportVue units have a three-function push button switch on top.  

 

One push of the button turns the HMD Unit display on and the backlight to its brightest setting. 
This is the recommended setting for situations where bright ambient sunlight does not provide 
sufficient brightness.   

 

Push again, and the backlight goes to its brighter setting. This is for very bright days or early 
morning or early evening, when you are heading into the sun.  

 

A final push turns the backlight off, but the HMD Unit display remains on. This is the “ambient 
light” setting and can be used when the sky is bright enough. 

 

To turn the LCD and power off, hold the button down for three or more seconds.  

8. Place the helmet on your head and push the button on the HMD down and you will see it display 
a software version number briefly, then show 

“PWR ON”.

 If you are within 15 feet of the 

bike, you should then see the display as 

“0”

 on the speed indicator (the three left hand digits) 

and an 

“N”

 on the gear position indicator (the far right digit) if this is not the case, check all 

connections and refer to the “FAQ” sheet at 

www.sportvue.net

 (see fig. 14) 

 

 

Need photo of the display showing “O   N” 

 
 
 
 
 

                          Fig. 14 – Display “ON” and ready for use
