Preface

Thank you for buying a VDO CYTEC bicycle computer. The more familiar you get with this model, the more enjoyable your trips are going to be.

Please read thoroughly all the information provided in this manual. You are getting important and useful hints for operation to make you fully benefit from all the technical features of your VDO CYTEC bicycle computer.

1.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 is 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.

1.2 Mounting the speed transmitter

The sensor should be mounted on the same side of the fork as the holder is on the handlebar.

For mounting put the included rubber shim under the sensor and use the cable ties.

Watch out: Do not tighten the cable ties yet! Accurately position the spoke magnet and the sensor first, then tighten the cable ties.

1.3 Mounting the spoke magnet

Distance between magnet and sensor should be approx. 1-5 mm.

In case this distance is not achievable in the current positioning, slide the sensor and the magnet on the fork or spoke accordingly.

1.4 Installing battery into computer head

To save battery power, your VDO CYTEC C 05 comes with the battery not yet fitted. Prior to initial use you have to install the battery first. Insert battery with positive (+) end on top.

Watch out: Once the battery is properly fitted, the computer immediately changes into set-up mode

(see also chapter 5). If you find the computer is not functioning properly after a battery change, push the AC-button (Auto Clear) on the rear side of the computer to reset.

1.5 Function Indicator

Your VDO CYTEC C05 features a function indicator ((1)).

When you are done mounting the computer, ((1)) flashes at the first rotation of the wheel.

When the wheel-size is properly entered, actual speed is displayed as well.(see chapter 5).

In case the function-indicator ((1)) is not flashing, please double-check:

Is the computer properly fitted onto the handlebar holder?

Is the spoke magnet accurately positioned opposite the speed transmitter (max 5 mm distance)?

2. Twist-Click mounting of computer onto holder

The Twist-Click mounting has been exclusively developed for the new line of VDO CYTEC computers.

The computerhead is put onto the handlebar and by a right turn of the computerhead (TWIST) fixed to the holder (CLICK).It is just as easy to remove the computerhead from the handlebar holder.

Slightly push the computerhead down, twist it to the left, remove computerhead from handlebar holder.

5. Set-up mode

Your VDO CYTEC C 05 features the following set-up procedures Watch out: Once the battery is properly wheelsize = WS clock = CLK set-up starts out of ODO in display set-up starts out of CLK in display odometer = ODO set-up starts out of ODO in display fitted, your VDO CYTEC C 05

immediately changes into set-up mode

(see also chapter 5.3).

5.1 Programming (setting up) your wheelsize

In order for the VDO CYTEC C 05 to indicate your actual speed and your trip distance, the correct wheelsize has to be entered. Wheelsize is the outer circumference of the wheel including the tire.

following default is entered wheelsize = WS = 2124 mm

Watch out: Above default is automatically applied after a battery change. After a battery change, the correct wheelsize for your bike has to be reentered, should you want to have accurate speed displayed, according to your bike's wheelsize.

5.2 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 (in mm) is the wheelsize to be entered into your computer.

Watch out: In case you have selected MPH readout you must enter your wheelsize in mm.

WS in mm

5.3 Entering your wheelsize / entering odometer

After initially installing the battery or after a battery change, your VDO CYTEC C 05 automatically switches into set-up mode for wheelsize and odometer. Start with Step 3.

You might as well enter the set-up mode for wheelsize and odometer at any time by proceeding as follows:

Step 1: Call ODO information in your display.

Step 2: Press MODE button for 5 sec. Display shows an alternating flashing symbol for KMH and MPH.

Step 3: By pressing the MODE button you can choose whether you want MPH or KMH readout on your display. Now you have determined whether your VDO CYTEC C 05 is either measuring in kilometers or miles.

Step 4: Once you have chosen your measuring unit, the wheelsize value is displayed. After a battery change, the default value (2124) comes up. In case you have entered wheelsize set-up from

ODO (see step 1),the last value entered will come up.

In case you want to use the default value (2124) after a battery change, just press the MODE button within 2 seconds.

The default is then automatically set up and the computer returns to regular mode.

In case you wish to enter the precise wheelsize you have measured yourself (i.e. 2257), please proceed with step 5.

Step 5: Not pressing the MODE button with in 2 seconds will make the last digit (2124) flash and change the value (4-5-6-7...) Once the correct digit (7) comes up, press the mode button. Now the third digit flashes and changes its value (2127). Once the correct digit (5) comes up, press the mode button.

Next to flash is the second digit (2157). Once the correct digit (2) comes up, press the mode button.

Next to flash is the first digit (2257).

Step 6: When the wheelsize is completely entered, the computer automatically changes into set-up mode for odometer value. Here you enter your previous totals after a battery change.

In case you do not wish to enter an odometer value, press the MODE button five times.
