BATTERY INSTALLATION
AND REPLACEMENT
Before using your SpeedZone Comp
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
reading and
wheel circum-
ference settings
before remov-
ing it. You can then re-enter the data
when you restart the computer.
MOUNTING
THE SPEEDZONE COMP
The SpeedZone Comp wheel 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 place-
ment of the sensor magnet is correct.
(See figure 4). Wheel magnets have
been provided for both traditional
round spokes and bladed (flat) aero-
dynamic spokes.

MAGNET
PLACEMENT

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 backing
from the adhesive tape and firmly
press the magnet onto spoke. The tape
uses a special pressure sensitive adhe-
sive. To ensure a strong bond, please
wait at least 12 hours for the adhesive
to cure before riding your bicycle.
Your SpeedZone Comp 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 provided.
Tighten so that the bracket cannot
rotate on the handlebar. There are
several sizing shims provided to fit
different diameter bars. If you are
5
FIGURE 6. STRAP INSTALLATION

using the new 31.8mm diameter bars,
you will need to purchase the 31.8mm
Handlebar Mount Kit (Specialized
P/N 4812-3100) from 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 Comp has
not detected any speed input for 30
minutes, it will enter sleep-mode in
order to conserve battery power.
During sleep mode only the analog
and digital 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”, “SET” or “TOP” button
once. In order to operate your com-
puter it must be placed in various
6

“modes” (i.e. odometer mode, dis-
tance mode). The computer can be
cycled through these modes by press-
ing the “MODE” button located on the
right-hand side of the housing. There
are nine cycling modes available:
1) Speed Mode, 2) Average Speed
Mode, 3) Maximum Speed Mode,
4) Odometer Mode, 5) Trip Distance
Mode, 6) Auto-timer Mode,
7) Stopwatch Mode, 8) Interval Timer
Mode and 9) Distance Countdown
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” and “TOP” buttons.
1. Setting the Display Language
Your SpeedZone Comp 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”, “SET” and
“TOP” buttons simultaneously for three
seconds. The selected language will
be displayed. Use the “MODE” button
to scroll through the languages. When
the selected language is displayed
(default language is English), press the
7

“SET” button once to confirm your selec-
tion and exit display language mode.
2. Miles or Kilometers selection
(English only)
Your SpeedZone Comp 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. (Other-
wise, see “Setting the Programmable
Odometer” below).
Note: The Speed Indication Bezel
will indicate 0-45MPH on SpeedZone
Comp 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
8

speed and distance data in kilometers
will have to multiply the value of the
numbers on the face of the bezel
by 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”
button once to change to ODO.
Hold down the “SET” button for three
seconds (If you have selected English
language, 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.

FIGURE 7. ODOMETER SCREEN

(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 circumfer-
ence by the rollout method. Two
different tire diameters may be
entered by using the computer’s
“Second Wheel Option.”
Easy Calibration Mode
Your SpeedZone Comp 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 Comp 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
