Battery Installation
and replacement-
Before using your Turbo®
Sport Computer you will
need to install the battery.
Turn the computer over so
the display is facing down-
ward. Use a coin to
unthread the battery cap
from the Computer. Install
the battery (model
CR2032, Specialized P/N
481-3004) with the posi-
tive pole (+) facing
upward. Carefully thread
the battery cap back onto
the case with a coin. (See
Figure 3) If, after battery
replacement, the LCD dis-
play is blank or shows
incomplete digits, turn the
Computer over and press
the “AC” button on the

To test for proper installa-
tion of the magnet, trans-
mitter and Computer, acti-
vate the Computer by push-
ing 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 magnet
alignment. Realign as nec-
essary until the “wheel
option”indicator flashes
while spinning the wheel
OPERATION AND
PROGRAMMING
When your Turbo®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
digital clock is displayed.
The computer will wake it
up when wheel speed is
detected or when the
MODE or SET button is
pressed. In order to oper-
ate your computer it must
be placed in various
“modes”(i.e. odometer
mode, distance mode). The
computer can be cycled
through these modes by
pressing the “MODE”but-
ton located on the right-
hand side the MODE/SET
rocker switch. There are
six cycling modes avail-
able: 1) Clock Mode, 2)
Odometer Mode, 3) Trip
Distance Mode 4) Average
Speed Mode, 5) Maximum
Speed Mode, 6) Automatic
Timer Mode. Once you
familiarize yourself with
the mode operation you
will find it very easy to
navigate. The following
flowchart outlines the
mode sequence. Once a
particular mode has been
entered, its values can be
reset or adjusted by press-
ing and holding the “SET ”
button for three seconds.
1. Setting the
5
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 tradition-
al round
spokes and
bladed (flat)
aerodynamic
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 mag-
net and transmit-
ter. Do not over-
tighten the mag-
net screw. (See
figure 5).
For wheels with
bladed spokes:
Use some isopropyl (rub-
bing) 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
adhesive. To ensure a
strong bond, please wait at
least 12 hours for the
adhesive to cure before
riding your bicycle.
Attach the appropriate
mount (26.0mm and
31.8mm sizes are includ-
ed) to the handlebar using
the bracket screw provid-
ed. Tighten so that the
bracket cannot rotate on
the handlebar. There are
several sizing straps pro-
vided to fit different diame-
ter bars. (See figure 6).
Slide the Computer for-
ward onto the mount until
it ‘snaps’into place with
an audible click. Plug the
wire from the speed sensor
into the socket on the bot-
tom of your Computer To
remove the Computer,
remove the speed wire
then push it backward until
it releases from the mount.

push the “SET”button five
times to exit odometer
mode. (Otherwise, see
“Setting the programmable
odometer”below).
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 press-
ing “MODE”button until
ODO appears in the Dot-
matrix Display Area. 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”but-
ton once) and a five-digit
number will appear. You
are now in the program-
mable 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 quickly
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 roll-
out method. Two different
tire diameters may be

Display Language
Your Turbo®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 push the
mode button repeatedly
until CLOCK is displayed in
the Dot-matrix Display
Area. Then, depress hold
the “MODE”button for
three seconds. The selected
language will be dis-
played. Use the “MODE”
button to scroll through the
languages. When the
selected language is dis-
played (default language is
English), press the “SET”
button once to confirm
your selection and exit dis-
play language mode.
2. Miles or Kilometers
selection:
Your Turbo®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 in the Dot-
matrix Display Area (This
is called the odometer
mode). Next, hold down
the “SET”button for three
seconds. The “Km”or “m”
indicator will begin blink-
ing. You may now alter-
nate 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

1. Extend a tape measure
out to 3000mm (120 inch-
es) and lock it in place.
2. With your tire inflated to
its proper pressure, place
the valve at the 6:00 posi-
tion (at the bottom) directly
over the start of the meas-
uring tape.
3. Roll the wheel one com-
plete revolution until the
valve stem is again at the
6:00 position. Read the
tape directly under the
valve and note the distance
in millimeters. (To convert
inches to millimeters, multi-
ply inches by 25.4). Use
this number to replace the
default (default values are
2073 for wheel one, and
2134 for wheel two) when
programming your
Computer. (See figure 9).
