  • Page 14: Standard Mounting

    Choosing Where to Mount the Cyclotrac Mounting to Frame Studs (Standard) The Cyclotrac V2 is designed to mount to bottle cage studs included on most bikes. This is the preferred way to mount the Cyclotrac. Mounting it standalone (without a bottle cage on top) provides the best weather and tamper resistance.
  • Page 15 ● A plastic bracket ● An OTTOLOCK cinch lock ● Rubber washers Insert the two screws through the Cyclotrac’s mounting holes. On the opposite side of the device, layer the rubber washers onto each screw. info@boomerangbike.com / © 2021 Boomerang Bike...
  • Page 16 The OTTOLOCK should be tightened as much as possible to keep it flush against the frame. Having the OTTOLOCK flush to the frame will make it more challenging for thieves to attack the strap. info@boomerangbike.com / © 2021 Boomerang Bike...
  • Page 17: App Functions

    A trip is a record of a period of movement. The Cyclotrac logs its position, elevation, speed, and other stats during a trip for later viewing. Each trip recorded is saved in the cloud to create a lifetime record of a Cyclotrac’s movements. info@boomerangbike.com / © 2021 Boomerang Bike...
  • Page 18 Turning the alarm on and off requires an understanding of the Cyclotrac’s wake and sleep modes. Recall that the Cyclotrac only listens for commands when it is awake. The device must be awake when arming and disarming the alarm. info@boomerangbike.com / © 2021 Boomerang Bike...
  • Page 19 For example, if you press ALARM ON and the LED doesn’t blink red, then wait a bit (10-20 seconds) and repeat. What the app says about the alarm being armed or disarmed is a prediction rather than an indicator. info@boomerangbike.com / © 2021 Boomerang Bike...
