The menu on your computer for tire size is based on averages, but there is
some variation in actual tire size even between tires marked as the same.
You can make your computer more accurate by setting a custom wheel size.
Custom Wheel Size
Measure the roll-out (Figure 7).
Roll-out is the distance your bicycle travels in exactly one revolution of the
wheel. If one wheel on your bicycle is bigger, measure the wheel with the
magnet.
To Set a Custom Wheel Size
Start with the valve stem of the wheel directly perpendicular to the oor.
Mark the oor at the valve stem. Placing an object on the oor makes a
good mark.
Roll the bike straight forward one revolution of the wheel, so that the valve
stem is again directly over the oor.
Mark the new location of the valve stem.
Measure the distance between the marks in millimeters. The result is your
Custom Wheel Size.

If the computer is giving erratic information, the battery may be running low.
Replace the battery whenever the computer malfunctions, or every 6 months.
When purchasing a new battery, it is best to take the old battery to the store with
you. This is the battery type: CR2032, lithium cell, 3 volts.
When the battery is removed, the computer automatically resets function totals
to zero. After installing a new battery, you can manually set your totals, but you
must note those values before removing the battery.
To Replace the Battery
Battery Maintenance Reset
A Reset erases all data and settings. Before a Reset, you may wish to record the
total miles (or kilometers) of the odometer so you can set the odometer to this
number later during set up.
Figure 12. Reset ButtonFigure 10. Removing the Battery Cover
Hold the Reset button (AC) for two seconds (Figure 12). A ball point pen
works well for this. The button is on the back of the computer.
To Perform a Reset
Remove the computer from its base. Rotate the battery cover about one-
quarter turn in a counter-clockwise direction (Figure 10). A coin or at head
screwdriver works well for this.
Lift the battery cover, exposing the battery. Be careful to avoid losing the
rubber O-ring seal.
Remove the old battery.
Insert the new battery with the ‘cross’ and identifying label pointing up
(Figure 11).
Replace the battery cover with O-ring seal and rotate clockwise one-
quarter turn.
