
NOTE: To prevent
corrosion, thoroughly
dry the mini-USB
port, weather cap, and
surrounding area before
charging or connecting to
a personal computer.
To charge the Edge:
1. On the back of the Edge,
pull up the weather cap
from the mini-USB port.

3. Plug the other end into a
standard wall outlet (AC) or
an available USB port on
your computer (USB).
Step 2: Install the
Edge
For best GPS reception, position the
bike mount so the front of the Edge
is oriented toward the sky. You can
install the bike mount on the stem or
the handlebars. The stem installation
(shown here) provides a more sturdy
location. The optional wedge should

be used under the mount for a better
viewing angle.
To install the Edge on your
bike stem:
1. Place the wedge on the bike
stem, and then place the bike
mount on the wedge. Make sure
the release lever is on the left.

For horizontal bars: Separate and
remove the top part of the mount,
turn it 90 degrees, and replace it.
Continue with step 2.
For bars with a diameter less than
1 in (25.4 mm): Place the additional
rubber pad under the bike mount to
increase the diameter of the bar. The
rubber pad also prevents the mount
from slipping. Continue with step 2.
2. Attach the bike mount
securely using two cable
ties. Make sure the cable ties
are threaded through both
parts of the bike mount.
3. Align the Edge with the bike
mount so that the Edge is
parallel to the stem.

monitor. Press the tab down.
2. Wet both sensors on the back of
the heart rate monitor to create
a strong connection between

chain stay (on the side opposite
the drive train). Loosely attach
the GSC 10 using two cable ties.
2. Attach the pedal magnet to the
crank arm using the adhesive
mount and a cable tie. The
pedal magnet must be within
5 mm of the GSC 10 and the
indication line on the pedal
magnet must line up with the
indication line on the GSC 10.
