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.
* If using the SM-6501/M/MD together with an LED lamp from another
manufacturer, the speed measurement function may not work
correctly.
If using an LED lamp from another manufacturer, it is recommended
that you use the SM-6500-RS.

the trip distance group, press the Mode button until “TIM”is displayed, and then
press the ST/SP button.
< Reset to zero > Press the ST/SP button and the Mode button
simultaneously while this group is active.

km/mile flashes
Note;
• To calculate the average speed, You must
travel for more than 10 seconds or more.
• 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.
Pace Arrow
Moves when distance time is
operating.
The upward arrow indicates that
the current speed is faster and
the downward arrow indicates
that the current speed is slower
than the
average speed
for the trip.

(6)Stopwatch (STW)group
This group includes stopwatch trip distance average speed and maximum speed.
The stopwatch is activated by pressing ST/SP button. While the stopwatch
group is operating the stopwatch (STW) display will flash.
Stopwatch trip distance (DST,STW) records total during STW function.
Stopwatch average speed (AVE,STW) records the average speed during STW
function.
Maximum speed (MAX,STW) records the Maximum speed during the stopwatch
function.
Displays the cumulative distance
travelled.
Note;
The functions of this group are
only available when
stopwatch is activated.
If the trip distance mode is

(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
crankarms are rotating.
(9)Lap counter (CNT)
This function is used to count laps,
etc. (range 0 - 99)
Lap counter is activated by
pressing the ST/SP button.
To reset the counter to zero, press
mode and ST/SP button
simultaneously.
(8)Main display cadence (VEL)
Cadence (rpm) can also be shown
in main display. Current speed
will move to sub-display.
