Your new Blackburn Neuro cyclometer is equipped with an Ultra-High Frequency (UHF) Digital transmission
system for speed, distance, cadence and heart rate which operates on a frequency of 2.4GHz. This new
transmission system offers significant performance advantages over previous generations of wireless
cyclometers.
With this new system, information is sent to the receiver unit in the computer head in digitally encoded data
packets. These data packets are identified by unique individual identifier codes making for cross communi-
cation (cross-talk) between adjacent units and electromagnetic interference (EMI) virtually impossible.
Another major advantage of this new system is greatly improved transmission range. Because digital encoding
virtually eliminates interference and cross talk, we can make the new digital system operate at significantly
greater ranges. While the range of most wireless cyclometers is measured in inches, our new UHF digital
system is measured in feet. The increased range will result in dramatically improved performance on instal-
lations which have traditionally proven troublesome such as large bikes, tandems and recumbents.
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
cyclometers 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 cyclometer.

WIRELESS HEART RATE MONITORS (NEURO 5.0 AND 6.0 MODELS ONLY)
All Blackburn Neuro models are capable of monitoring heart rate using our new 2.4GH UHF digital transmission
system. If your Neuro unit was not supplied with a heart rate transmitter one may be purchased from your
Blackburn retailer. Utilizing our new 2.4GHz UHF digital transmission system. By utilizing UHF digital technology
we have been able to dramatically improve the reliability and performance of the heart rate system in this
product as compared to traditional heart rate systems. While the UHF digital technology used in this new heart
rate system dramatically improves its performance over traditional low frequency systems, it should be noted
there are conditions which may cause the system to generate false readings. To avoid the potential for false
readings. Please note the following:
1. The chest strap should be worn as tightly as possible without being uncomfortable. If the chest strap is
not tight enough, movement between it and your body can cause false signals to be generated, which
may be seen as heart beats by the cyclometer. This is especially true during high impact activities, such
as running.
2. Although extremely rare, environmental factors may interfere with the ability of the cyclometer to receive
a signal from the transmitter. This is especially true if the product is being used in close proximity to
other products operating on the same 2.4GHz transmission frequency. The system is designed with
redundancy to help reduce the possibility of interference effecting the accuracy of the unit.
3. While riding, the flow of air over your body may cause your jersey or shirt to flutter and tap against
the heart rate transmitter. This tapping can result in false signals being generated causing inaccurate
readings. Try wearing the transmitter backward so that the transmitter and electrodes are against your
back with the elastic strap across the front of your chest. Wearing snug jerseys or a tight base layer will
also help to reduce this problem from occurring.
