Warning
Be careful not to pay excessive attention to
the computer data while riding, otherwise you
might have an accident.
NOTE;
* The all clear (AC) button is used to clear the main unit memory.
* Never disassemble the main unit, as it cannot be reassembled.
* The main unit is fully waterproofed to withstand wet weather
conditions; however, do not deliberately place it into water.
* Avoid leaving the main unit exposed to extremely hot weather
conditions.
* Handle the main unit carefully, and avoid subjecting it to any
shocks.
* Do not use thinner or other solvents to clean parts such as the
main unit and sensor, as they may dissolve the part casings.
* To clean these parts, wipe them with a cloth soaked in a weak
mixture of neutral detergent and water.

Trip distance group (TIM, DST, MAX, AVE)
The trip distance group includes trip time (TIM) , trip distance (DST)
maximum speed during trip (MAX) average speed during trip (AVE) .
To activate the trip distance group, press Mode button to (TIM) and press
ST/SP button to activate.
The km/mile symbol will blink. The computer will automatically record
data whenever the wheel sensor is activated by wheel rotation. The
computer will automatically stop recording data when the wheel stops
rotating.
To manually stop functions, press the ST/SP button once.
To reset trip distance group, press the Mode button and ST/SP button
simultaneously.
Whole group will reset to zero.
Additionally, while this group is operating the km/mph, rpm and F - R
displays will flash.
Average speed (AVE)
0.0 (2.0) - 130.0km/h
0.0 (1.2) - 80mph.
Trip time (TIM)
0 -99:59:59 (h ; min; sec)
Trip distance (DST)
0 -999.99 (km, mile)
Maximum speed (MAX)
0.0 (2.0) - 130.0km/h
Note;
To calculate the average speed,
You must travel for more than 10
seconds or more.
An arrow- up displayed indicates
that your current speed is faster
than your average speed and an
arrow- down if the speed is lower.
If the trip time exceeds 100hours or the trip distance exceeds
1,000kilometers (620miles), “ER” will be displayed and the pace arrow
comparison will disappear. However, TIM and DST measurements will start
again from zero and the MAX speed will be retained.

Note;
The functions of this group are
only available when stopwatch is
activated.
If the trip distance mode is also
activated simultaneously, it is not
possible to view at the distance.
However the trip distance,
average speed and maximum
speed will still be recorded during
this time.

(7)Cadence (rpm)
Cadence is calculated from the F- R
gear tooth numbers and current
speed.
Note;
Cadence always appears during
bicycle movement regardless if the

)Power saver function
When the computer is left without
receiving any signal or any button
activation the unit will be in a
“sleep” state and only the clock will
appear on the display.
The normal display will return as
soon as a signal is received or a
button has been pressed.
Note;
During the stopwatch function the
stopwatch will continue to operate
even when the power saver
function has been activated. The
stopwatch will stop automatically
after 90minutes have passed.
4. Resetting
This function allows you to reset km/h- mph, tire circumference, gear
combination, type of rear derailleur, and time without losing any data (i.e.
total distance, trip distance etc)
To re- set go to any display other than CLK on the sub display. Press switch
“B” for 5 seconds or more. Then follow instruction section 8 data input.
Switch B 5sec.

7. Installation to the bicycle
Install the levers to the handlebars. Then connect and adjust the brake and
shifting cables. Refer to the STI Lever Service Instructions for details on
these procedures.
* For the SC-6500-M, SC-6500-MX and SC-6500-T,
refer to the Service Instructions included.
(1)Installing the signal cable (SC-6500)
Install the signal cable as shown
in Figure No1.
(2)Installing the computer
Install the band and the bracket as
shown in Figure No2.
Tape the signal cable to the
handlebars.
(3)Slide the computer onto the
bracket until it clicks into its
place.
as shown in Figure No3.
After this, wrap handlebar with
finishing tape around the
handlebars to secure both the
signal cable and the brake cable

(4)Installing the magnet and
sensors
Use a screwdriver to temporarily
secure the magnet to a spoke on the
right hand side of the front wheel as
shown in fig4.
Put a rubber shim between the fork
and the sensor as shown in fig5.
(Fork diameter range is 11- 35mm)
Place the magnet on one of the two
sensor lines.
Adjust the position of the magnet so
that the distance between the
magnet and the sensors is 1- 5mm.
Secure the magnet and the sensors
firmly in these positions.
(1)Measuring the tire circumference
To measure the tire circumference,first ensure that the tire is inflated to the
standard tire pressure. Make a mark on the tire and the ground at the point where
the tire touches the ground, and move the bicycle forward one full revolution of
the front wheel while seated on the bicycle, Mark the point where the marking on
the tire touches the ground again. Measure the distance between the two points
in millimeters. Round the distance to the nearest multiple of 5mm.

(2)Checking the number of chainring and sprocket teeth
Check whether the front chainwheel is a double or a triple chainwheel.
(3)Selecting Km or Miles
When switch “AC”(All Clear) is
pressed, the display as shown in
fig6 appears and the k/h setting
starts flashing. Select your choice
for Km/h or Mile/h by pressing
switch “A”.
Once your choice is displayed,
press switch “B”continuously for 2
seconds or more to set.
Check whether the
cassette has 7,8, or 9
sprockets.
