3. Guide d'installation

Follow these steps to correctly install your Schwinn Wireless Bike Computer.

3.1. Installation de la batterie

The computer unit and wireless sensor require batteries for operation. Typically, these are coin-cell batteries (e.g., CR2032). Open the battery compartment on the back of the computer unit and the sensor, insert the batteries with the correct polarity, and securely close the compartments.

3.2. Montage de l'unité centrale

1. Attach the handlebar mounting bracket to your bicycle's handlebar using the provided zip ties. Ensure it is securely fastened and positioned for easy viewing.
2. Slide the computer unit onto the mounting bracket until it clicks into place.

3.3. Mounting the Wireless Speed Sensor

1. Attach the wireless speed sensor to the front fork of your bicycle using the provided zip ties. Position it on the side of the fork that aligns with the wheel spokes.
2. Ensure the sensor is oriented correctly, with the arrow or designated marking pointing towards the wheel magnet's path.

3.4. Attaching the Wheel Magnet

1. Securely attach the wheel magnet to a spoke on the front wheel.
2. Adjust the magnet's position so that it passes the wireless sensor with a gap of no more than 5mm (0.2 inches). The closer the magnet is to the sensor without touching, the more reliable the signal.

4. Fonctionnement

Your Schwinn Wireless Bike Computer features 13 functions to track your ride data. The large LCD screen displays information clearly, and operations are managed via integrated buttons.

4.1. Fonctions de base

• Vitesse actuelle: Affiche votre vitesse de cyclisme en temps réel.
• Vitesse moyenne: Calcule la vitesse moyenne de votre trajet actuel.
• Vitesse maximale : Enregistre la vitesse maximale atteinte durant votre trajet.
• Distance parcourue : Mesure la distance parcourue lors de votre trajet actuel.
• Odomètre: Tracks the total accumulated distance across all rides.
• Durée du trajet : Records the duration of your current ride.
• Horloge: Displays the current time (12/24 hour format).

4.2. Fonctions avancées

• Mode de numérisation : Automatically cycles through various data displays.
• Comparateur de vitesse : Indique si votre vitesse actuelle est supérieure ou inférieure à votre vitesse moyenne.

• Température: Affiche la température ambiante.
• Rétroéclairage : Illuminates the display for night riding.

4.3. Utilisation des boutons

The computer typically features two or three buttons for navigation and setting adjustments. Refer to the specific button labels on your device for precise functions:

• Bouton MODE : Cycles through different display modes (e.g., speed, distance, time).
• Bouton SET/RESET : Used to enter settings mode, confirm selections, or reset trip data.
• UP/DOWN Buttons (if present): Adjust values during settings or navigate menus.

Press and hold the SET/RESET button to enter settings mode or to reset trip data. A short press typically confirms a selection or advances to the next display.

5. Réglages et étalonnage

Accurate readings depend on proper calibration, especially setting the wheel circumference.

5.1. Setting Wheel Circumference

The wheel circumference tells the computer how far the wheel travels in one rotation. This is crucial for accurate speed and distance measurements.

1. Consult your bicycle tire's sidewall for its size (e.g., 700x23c, 26x1.95).
2. Refer to a wheel circumference chart (often found online or in a more detailed manual) to find the corresponding circumference in millimeters (mm).
3. Enter the settings mode on your computer (usually by pressing and holding the SET button).
4. Navigate to the wheel circumference setting and input the correct value using the appropriate buttons.
5. Confirm the setting and exit the settings mode.

Conseil: For maximum accuracy, measure your wheel's actual circumference by marking a spot on the tire and the ground, rolling the bike one full revolution, and measuring the distance on the ground.

5.2. Unit Selection (Miles/Kilometers)

In the settings mode, you can also select your preferred unit of measurement for distance and speed (kilometers per hour (km/h) or miles per hour (mph)).

6. Entretien

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and accuracy of your bike computer.

• Nettoyage: Wipe the computer unit and sensor with a soft, damp Chiffon. Évitez les nettoyants abrasifs ou les solvants.
• Remplacement de la batterie : Replace batteries in both the computer unit and sensor when the display becomes dim or readings become inconsistent. Ensure correct battery type (e.g., CR2032) and polarity.
• Sensor/Magnet Alignment: Periodically check that the sensor and magnet remain properly aligned (within 5mm gap) and securely fastened.
• Résistance à l'eau : The device has an IP54 rating, meaning it is protected from dust and splashing water. Avoid submerging the unit in water or exposing it to heavy rain for extended periods.
