Your new Blackburn Delphi cycle computer is equipped with a wireless radio system for the transmission of
speed and distance. Wheel rotation data is sent from the fork to the computer unit on the handlebars where
it is processed to display speed and distance traveled. To reduce the chances of cross communication with
other wireless cycle computers the system is designed to be both directional and short range. Because of
the short range of the radio system, it is best to install the fork transmitter on the top half of the fork blade.
Mounting the unit at the bottom of the fork or on the back of the fork blade may result in the computer
being unable to pick up the signal.
AUTO START/STOP
—Unlike wired units, wireless computers are incapable of having a true automatic start/stop
system because there is no hard wired circuit to close and activate the computer. Because of this, wireless
cycle computers must, at some point, turn off their radio system in order to conserve battery life. Your
Blackburn wireless computer is programmed with the most sophisticated Start/Stop algorithm available in a
cycle computer. While in SLEEP mode, the Delphi unit looks for new speed or heart rate information every
two minutes for a period of two hours. Even if you stop riding and do not start again for 2 hours, the largest
segment of ride data you will lose will be 2-minutes.
