WL WIRELESS SPEED TRANSMITTER & MAGNET
Tie the WL Wireless Speed Transmitter with Bracket Rubber Pad loosely by the Zip-Ties supplied to either in the front of
the left fork leg (see Fig.1 A) or at the back of the right fork leg (see Fig.1 B). For best signal reception, make sure the
distance between the Transmitter and the Head Unit is within 70 cm. At the same time, the Transmitter should be
2 ~ 4 cm (or more) away from the brake, to avoid blocking transmission signals by the brake. Adjust the transmitter
and magnet spacing with the Spacer. Slide and rotate the transmitter until the alignment mark just touches the spacer tip
on the magnet. Remove the Spacer after snugging the Zip-Tie down to hold the transmitter in its final position.
