BATTERY INSTALLATION AND
REPLACEMENT
Before using your SpeedZone Sport
Computer you will need to install the
battery. Turn the computer over so the
display is facing downward. Use a
coin to unthread the battery cap from
the computer. Install the battery
(model CR2032, Specialized P/N
481-3004) with the positive pole (+)
facing upward. Carefully thread the
battery cap back onto the case with a
coin. (See Figure 3) If, after battery
replacement, the LCD display is blank
or shows incomplete digits, turn the
computer over and press the "AC"
button on the bottom of the case with
the tip of a pen or a paper clip. This
will clear all the data and re-start the
computer. If you need to replace the

battery, make
a note of your
odometer read-
ing and wheel
circumference
settings before
removing it.
You can then
re-enter the data
when you restart the computer.
MOUNTING
THE SPEEDZONE SPORT
The SpeedZone Sport sensor can
mount on the right or the left side
of the fork blade. Use the cable tie-
wraps provided to position the
sensor. Do not tighten until the final
placement of the sensor magnet is
correct. (See figure 4). Wheel
magnets have been
provided for both tra-
ditional round spokes
and bladed (flat)
aerodynamic spokes.
For wheels with
round spokes:
Attach the magnet to
a spoke across from
the transmitter with
the magnet screw. The
clearance between the
magnet and the transmitter should be
approximately 1/32"-1/16" (1-2mm).
Tighten the magnet and transmitter.
Do not over-tighten the magnet screw.
(See figure 5).

For wheels with
bladed spokes:
Use some isopropyl
(rubbing) alcohol or
a mild detergent to
thoroughly clean the
spoke that you plan
to attach the magnet
to. Remove the back-
ing from the adhesive
tape and firmly press
the magnet onto
spoke. The tape uses
a special pressure sensitive adhesive.
To ensure a strong bond, please wait
at least 12 hours for the adhesive to
cure before riding your bicycle.
Your SpeedZone Sport comes pre-
configured with a strap to fit standard
road and mountain bike handlebars.
Attach the mount to the handlebar
using the Philips head screw provid-
ed. Tighten so that the bracket cannot
rotate on the handlebar. There are
several sizing shims provided to fit
different diameter bars. If you are
using the new 31.8mm diameter
bars, you will need to purchase the
31.8mm Handlebar Mount Kit

your Specialized dealer. To install the
31.8mm diameter strap onto your
SpeedZone Comp, remove the two
Philips head screws from the bottom
of the computer and push out the
retaining pin with a small screwdriver
or a straightened paperclip. (See fig-
ure 6) Use caution not to lose the pin
once you have removed it. Install the
other mounting strap and reinsert the
pin and screws. To test for proper
installation of the magnet, transmitter
and computer, activate the computer
by pushing the ‘MODE’ (right side)
button. Pick up the front of the bicycle
and spin the front wheel. The "wheel
option" indicator will flash. If it does
not flash, check the sensor and mag-
net alignment. Realign as necessary
until the "wheel option" indicator
flashes while spinning the wheel.
OPERATION AND
PROGRAMMING
When your SpeedZone Sport has not
detected any speed input for 30 min-
utes, it will enter sleep-mode in order
to conserve battery power. During
sleep mode only the analog and digi-
tal clocks are displayed. The computer
will wake up as soon as wheel speed
is detected. Additionally, you can
wake it up by pushing the "MODE"
or "SET" button once. In order to
operate your computer it must be
placed in various "modes" (i.e.
odometer mode, distance mode). The
computer can be cycled through these
6

modes by pressing the "MODE" but-
ton located on the right-hand side of
the housing. There are six cycling
modes available: 1) Speed Mode, 2)
Average Speed Mode, 3) Maximum
Speed Mode, 4) Odometer Mode, 5)
Trip Distance Mode and 6) Auto-timer
Mode. Once you familiarize yourself
with the mode selection operation you
will find it very easy to navigate. The
following flowchart outlines the
mode/side-mode sequence.
Once a particular mode has been
entered, its values can be reset or
adjusted by pressing and holding the
"SET " button for three seconds. Some
operations may require that you use a
combination of the "MODE" and
"SET" buttons.
1. Setting the Display Language
Your SpeedZone Sport can display
information on the dot-matrix display
area in six different languages:
English (ENGL), German (GER),
French (FR), Italian (ITA), Dutch
(NED), and Spanish (ESP). To select
your language, depress hold the
"MODE" and "SET" buttons simulta-
neously for three seconds. The select-
ed language will be displayed. Use
the "MODE" button to scroll through
the languages. When the selected lan-
guage is displayed (default language
is English), press the "SET" button
once to confirm your selection and
exit display language mode.

2. Miles or Kilometers selection
(English only)
Your SpeedZone Sport will record
distance and speed in either miles
(m & m/h) or kilometers (K & Km/h).
Please note that miles can only be
selected when the language setting is
English. All other languages display
only kilometers. (See "Setting the
Display Language" above). To enter
your selection of miles or kilometers,
push the "MODE" button until ODO
appears on the left side of the display
(This is called the odometer mode).
Note: if your display says TRIP, press
the "SET" button once to change to
ODO. Next, hold down the "SET"
button for three seconds. The "Km"
or "m" indicator will begin blinking.
You may now alternate between miles
and kilometers by pressing the
"MODE" button. When the correct
choice is flashing, select it by pressing
the "SET" button. You will now enter
the "Programmable Odometer" mode.
If the odometer setting is correct
push the "SET" button five times to
exit odometer mode. (Otherwise,
see "Setting the Programmable
Odometer" below).
Note: The Speed Indication Bezel will
indicate 0-45MPH on SpeedZone
Sport computers purchased in the
USA and the U.K. and 0-90 Km/h on
computers purchased in all other
countries. Cyclists in the USA and the
U.K. who would like to display their
speed and distance data in kilometers
will have to multiply the value of the
numbers on the face of the bezel by
8

two. For example, if the Speed needle
is pointing to the 20 on the bezel,
your actual speed is 40Km/h.
3. Setting the Programmable
Odometer
This mode is useful if you have
replaced the battery and would like to
retain the mileage you have already
ridden. To access the Programmable
odometer mode, first advance to the
Odometer Mode by pressing "MODE"
button until ODO appears on the left-
hand side of the screen. Note: if your
display says TRIP, press the "SET" but-
ton once to change to ODO. Hold
down the "SET" button for three sec-
onds (If you have selected English lan-
guage, the Km/h indicator will flash.
If the Km/h setting is correct press the
"SET" button once) and a five-digit
number will appear. You are now in
the programmable odometer mode.
To enter a mileage into the odometer,
press the "MODE" button until the
flashing digit is correct. (Note: The
"MODE" button may be held to scroll
to the correct digit.) Press the "SET"
button to select the next digit to the

right. Repeat this process until all five
digits are entered as your existing
mileage. (See figure 7)
4. Wheel Circumference Selection
To set the circumference for the type
of tires you are using, you can use
Specialized’s "Easy Calibration
Mode" or measure your actual tire
circumference by the rollout method.
Two different tire diameters may be
entered by using the computer’s
"Second Wheel Option."
Easy Calibration Mode
Your SpeedZone Sport has been
preprogrammed with the following
14 Specialized tire sizes:
26 X 1.0 26 X 2.2
26 X 1.25 650c X 20
26 X 1.5 700c X 20
26 X 1.9 700c X 23
26 X 1.95 700c X 26
26 X 2.0 700c X 32
26 X 2.1 700c X 38
When using Easy Calibration Mode,
the SpeedZone Sport will display the
tire size on its LCD display screen.
(See figure 8) The Easy Calibration
Mode is accessed by entering the
Speed (SPEED) mode and holding
down the "SET" button for three sec-
onds. The display will now show the
10

currently selected tire size for wheel
option #1. To scroll through the pre-
programmed tire sizes tap both the
"MODE" and "SET" buttons simulta-
neously. When you reach the desired
tire size press the "SET" button once
to select it and enter Easy Calibration
Mode for wheel option #2. Follow the
same procedure to program the wheel
#2 tire size and tap the "SET" button
to exit Easy Calibration Mode.
Roll Out Method
The roll out method will provide the
most accurate computer calibration
and can take into account variables
such as inflation pressure, rim width
and rider weight.
1. Extend a tape measure out to
3000mm (120 inches) and lock
it in place.
2. With your tire inflated to its
proper pressure, place the valve
at the 6:00 position (at the bottom)
directly over the start of the
measuring tape.
3. Roll the wheel one complete
revolution until the valve stem is
again at the 6:00 position. Read
