First Ride
After completing your normal motorcycle pre-check including inspection of your SportVue unit,
turn on your HMD Unit display. Put on your helmet and secure it properly.
If your SportVue HMD Unit is loose in its helmet mount or slides out with little or no effort, do
not
use it. Remove it and contact us at
for service. Improper use
can cause the unit to fail or create an unsafe situation.
Adjust your helmet and check to see if the HMD Unit is in the proper position. Remember, you can
make minor vertical adjustments to the HMD Unit.
Start your motorcycle. You should see the RPM register in the HMD Unit display, indicating
wireless communication between the MSU Unit and the HMD Unit.
Note that the SportVue automatically learns the RPM range of your bike and this may take
some time. Initially the RPM display will be much higher than you think it should be. It will
come down as you ride your bike. Within a few rides the RPM should have learned the rpm
range of your motor and should behave as expected.
When ready, begin riding. Operate your motorcycle in a safe manner, briefly glancing up at the
HMD Unit display. Remember; do
not
fixate on the HMD Unit display. You will see the
information change according to your engine and speed performance.
If the HMD loses the signal momentarily from the MSU, the display should “freeze” in the last
position for up to 3 seconds. If the signal is lost for more than 3 seconds, the display will show
“
NO SIG
”
and begin searching for the signal. During this time, the display will be inoperative
and cannot be used. Once it finds the signal again, it will come back on and operate normally. If the
unit fails to find the signal again, turn it off and check all connections and batteries once stopped
safely. If you continue to have problems, contact the FAQ page at
www.sportvue.net
.
When you have finished riding, remove your helmet and turn off your SportVue MC1 HMD Unit.
Care and Cleaning
Under normal circumstances, a soft cloth—either dry or moistened with water—will clean the
HMD Unit and the MSU Unit. To remove dried matter (bugs), you may need to pre-moisten the
HMD Unit and the MSU Unit with a non-abrasive sponge before cleaning it.
Stubborn cleaning may require a cloth moistened with non-ammonia Windex. Ammonia and
general spray cleaners may be too harsh and can harm the finish.
Do not use any paper products to clean the screen of the HMD Unit—they can scratch the display.
Never use abrasive cleaners, waxes or solvents for your cleaning.
Never use any abrasive material to remove dirt particles.
Although SportVue has been designed to use in inclement weather, never immerse the unit in
water!
If the viewing window of SportVue becomes fogged up, try leaving the unit inside in a warm, dry
place for a few days. This should return the unit to normal. If it does not, please contact
www.sportvue.net
for a warranty return authorization number (RNA).
