INSTANT SPEED FUNCTION

This information is always displayed together with a graphic
bar. The default unit is km/h. To change to Mph, press the
button and enter the setup menu. If Mph is selected, no ab-
breviation is displayed to indicate the selected unit.

Current time function  (TIME)

T

3” and Vel = 0: enters the time setting mode.

T < 3” or Vel > 0: cycles through the functions. 

The time can only be adjusted when the vehicle is stationary.
Pressing button 

C

or

D

for at least 3 seconds activates the

time setting mode. Once the setting is complete, the stan-
dard operating mode is reactivated by pressing the button
for about 3 seconds. The Time parameter is displayed in the
0-24 format if the selected unit is km/h and in the 0-12 for-
mat if the selected unit is Mph. 
After entering the setting menu, if the button is not pressed
for 20 seconds, the system will automatically return to the
standard operating mode. 
Once in the setting menu, if the vehicle moves off (Vel > 0),
the system automatically returns to the standard operating
mode.

Automatic stopwatch function (LAP)

T

3” resets LAP and TD.

T < 3” cycles through the functions.

This information represents the actual riding time associated
with the TD parameter. It is an automatic counter which is
started by the first pulse from the speed sensor and stops 3
seconds after receiving the last pulse from the sensor. The
counter associated with this parameter can be reset by
pressing button 

C

or

D

for about 3 seconds while the LAP

function is activated until 00’00” is displayed. Resetting the
LAP function also resets the TD parameter. The LAP func-
tion can be reset both while riding and when the vehicle is
stationary. 

Total mileage counter function (TOD)

T

3” and Vel = 0: enters the mode for setting the circumferen-

ce, unit and number of pulses for each wheel turn.
T < 3” or Vel > 0: cycles through the functions.

CYCLING THROUGH THE FUNCTIONS

Cycling through the functions is possible both while riding and
when the vehicle is stationary. Simply press button 

C

or

D

to dis-

play the different functions in the following order:

TIME - LAP - TOD - TD - COUNTDOWN 

USE OF THE BUTTONS

Depending on the function that is displayed at a given mo-
ment, pressing a button causes the following: 

1 - TIME

T

3” and Vel = 0: activates the time setting mode;

T < 3” or Vel > 0: cycles through the functions.

2 - LAP

T

3”: resets LAP and TD;

T < 3”: cycles through the functions.

3 - TOD

T

3” and Vel = 0: activates the function for setting

the circumference, unit and number of pulses for
each wheel turn;

T < 3” or Vel > 0: cycles through the functions.

4 - TD

T

3”: resets LAP and TD;

T < 3”: cycles through the functions.

5 - COUNTDOWN

T

3” and Vel = 0: enters the countdown setting

mode;

T < 3” or Vel > 0: cycles through the functions.

T = Time during which the button is held down;
Vel = Speed of the vehicle.
