Mounting the system
1.1 Mounting the handlebar holder
The handlebar holder fits handlebars of any diameter. Before mounting the system, decide if you will be using your left or right hand to operate the computer and then mount the handlebar holder on the respective side. Position the handlebar holder, insert the strap and adjust it by tightening the screw.
Warning:
Before tightening the handlebar holder, make sure to adjust the position of the computer head (inclination) when the
LCD-display is best visible for you. Only when you find the best position tighten the screw.

2. Mounting the speed transmitter
Model VDO CYTEC C 10 WL works by radio transmission of speed impulses from the sender on the fork, to the receiver incorporated into the computer head mounted on the handlebar. Please be sure to get the sender aimed at the receiver
(computer head) with as much precision as possible. The sender should be mounted on the same side of the fork as the holder is on the handlebar.
Watch out:
Do not tighten the cable ties yet! Accurately position the spoke magnet and the sender first, then tighten the cable ties. The distance between transmitter
(sender) and computer head must not exceed 24 inches (60 cm). Sender range is technically limited in accordance with
German telecommunication law.
3. Mounting the spoke magnet
Distance between magnet and sender should be approx. 1-5 mm.
In case this distance is not achievable in the current positioning, slide the sender and the magnet on the fork or spoke accordingly.
Watch out:
Please remove the computerhead from the handlebar holder when you intend not to use your bike for a longer period of time.

Your VDO CYTEC C 10 WL compares your current speed with your average speed. The outcome of this comparison can be seen in your display by the use of symbols. No matter which information is currently displayed, this data keeps you updated on the relation of your current speed and your average speed.
Your current speed is faster than your average speed. Accuracy
+/- 1 KMH/MPH
You are currently riding as fast as your average speed. Accuracy

No matter which set-up mode is used for your VDO CYTEC , the procedure is the same.
You can start the set-up mode for a certain display by pressing the MODE 1 button for 5 sec. With this MODE button you may also exit the set-up mode at any time.
Once the set-up mode is activated, MODE 1 and MODE 2 buttons are covered with following instructions:

13. Selecting the wheelsize
Your VDO CYTEC C 10 WL can work with two different wheelsizes (WS1 or WS2), i.e. one wheelsize for your road bike the other one for your mountain bike. When using the respective bike you can just switch to the proper wheelsize.
Wheelsize is only selectable if any of the following information is displayed: AVS-RID-STP-MAX
The currently active wheelsize is indicated in the display by WS 1 or WS 2. You can switch from wheelsize 1 (WS 1) to wheelsize 2 (WS 2) and vice-versa by pressing the MODE 1 button for 5 sec.
14. Entering your wheelsize
You may enter two different wheelsizes into your VDO CYTEC C 10 WL, i.e. one wheelsize for your street bike and another one for your mountain bike.
Your VDO CYTEC identifies different wheelsizes as WS 1 = wheelsize 1 and WS 2 = wheelsize 2.
following defaults are entered wheelsize 1 = WS1 = 2155 mm wheelsize 2 = WS2 = 2000 mm
Watch out:
Above defaults are automatically applied after a battery change.
After a battery change, the correct wheelsizes for your bikes have to be re-entered.
How is the wheelsize precisely determined?
Place the front wheel of your bike with the valve at the bottom, mark this position with a line and push your bike ahead until exactly one rotation of the front wheel is completed. Draw another line where the valve now is. Take a ruler and measure the distance between marks 1 and 2 which reflects the wheelsize = wheel-circumference. The figure measured (inches or mm) is the wheelsize to be entered into your computer.

Programming (setting up) your wheelsize
Step 1:
Step 2:
Call TRP information in your display.
Press MODE 1 button for 5 sec. "WS1" is displayed along with an alternating flashing symbol for KMH and MPH.
Step 3: By pressing the MODE 2 button you can choose whether you want MPH or KMH readout on your display.
Watch out:
Your choice of either MPH or KMH applies for both wheelsizes WS 1 and WS 2.
Step 4: Once you have chosen your measuring unit, continue by pressing the MODE 1 button briefly (0.1 sec). Now, either the default value or the wheelsize value previously entered (WS 1) is displayed with the last number flashing.
Step 5:
With buttons MODE 1 and MODE 2 you can enter wheelsize 1 previously determined. Then you enter your measurements for wheelsize 2 (see set-up mode).
Watch out: The computer wants you to enter your wheelsizes one at a time, first WS 1, then WS 2. You may exit setting up wheelsizes at any time by pressing the MODE 1 button for 5 sec.
Step 6: Once you have entered the last number for wheelsize 2, the computer automatically goes back to normal mode.
You may also exit the set-up mode at any time by pressing the MODE 1 button.
Watch out:
When you exit set-up without having completed entering your data, the computer may well work with faulty values leading to misinformation in your display.
