Blackburn has gone to great expense to assure these are the WARNING—Blackburn cyclometers and heart rate monitors are training and fitness tools. Before beginning finest and most reliable cyclometers you can buy.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE FCC & CE WARNINGS Blackburn cyclometers contain many delicate electronic components which may be damaged by excessive CE—The CE logo is used to mark compliance with the European Union exposure to heat, shock or general abuse. Treated with care, your cyclometer is capable of delivering many Directives 89/336/EEc and 99/5/EEC years of reliable service.

DEFAULT SETTINGS Two “hidden” keys are located on the bottom of the computer each with specific SHIPPING MODE—Your new Blackburn Neuro computer comes to the dealer in SHIPPING MODE. In this mode ALL CLEAR KEY (AC) functions. Use a toothpick or other small pointed object to press these keys and the LCD display is totally blank.
CYCLOMETER CADENCE TRANSMITTER Blackburn Neuro computers are powered by a CR2032 3v Lithium Battery. Under normal conditions, this battery The Wireless Speed & Cadence Transmitter uses a CR 2032 3v Lithium battery. Under normal conditions, you should last for approximately 300-350 hours depending on the quality of the battery.
Neuro 5.0 and 6.0 units are supplied from the factory with heart rate transmitters. The Neuro 4.0 unit can be upgraded to heart rate functionality with the additional purchase of a Blackburn Digital heart rate transmitter from your Blackburn dealer.
KEYS AND THEIR FUNCTIONS QUICK PRESS VS. PRESS & HOLD There are two key actions used to program and operate the Neuro computer. QUICK PRESS—The key is pressed quickly and then immediately released. This is the most common key action and is used for most operations.

Circumference MEASURED WHEEL SIZE Blackburn Neuro Computers use the rolling circumference of your wheel and tire combination to determine speed and distance. The more accurate this setting, the more accurate your ride information will be. However, If your wheel/tire size is not one of the pre-programmed sizes, or if you desire absolute accuracy, you may variations of less than 30mm from the actual circumference will have very little impact on the overall accuracy enter an exact wheel circumference into the system.
