FUNCTIONS AND OPERATIONS
FUNCTIONAL BUTTONS:
MOD: Push down for selecting functions. Press and hold down the MODE button to reset the values to
zero.
SET: to set the values of time, distance, pulse, and calories when not in SCAN mode.
RESET: - push down to reset all values. The current data will change to zero (0). If you long press the
RESET button, apart from the ODO values, all other data will reset to zero (0).
FUNCTION AND OPERATION
SCAN: Press the MODE button until "SCAN" appears on the display. The monitor will rotate
through all the five functions: - TIME, SPEED, DEISTANE, CALORIE ODO and PULSE. Each
display will be held for 5 seconds.
TIME: Counts the total time from the start to the end of the exercise. Press the MODE button
until TIME appears on the display and press "SET" button to set time duration. When the "SET"
button is zero, the computer will sound an alarm for 10 seconds.
SPEED: displays the current speed.
DIST: counts the distance from the start to the end of the exercise. Press the "MODE" button
until "DIST" appears on the display and press "SET" button to set time duration. When the "SET"
button is zero, the computer will sound an alarm for 10 seconds.
CALORIES: Counts the total calories burnt during the exercise. Press the MODE button until
"CAL" appears on the display and press "SET" button to set time duration. When the "SET"
button is zero, the computer will sound an alarm for 10 seconds.
ODO: The total distance which has been covered from the beginning. Please note: This will
reset to zero when the batteries are replaced.
PULSE RATE: Press the "MODE" button until "PULSE" is displayed on the monitor. Before
measuring your pulse rate, please place the palms of your hands on both contact pads and the
monitor will show your current heart beat rate per minute (BPM) on the LDC after 6-7 seconds.
CAUTION! During the process of pulse measuring, due to the contacts jamming, the
measurement value may be higher than the virtual pulse rate during the first 2-3 seconds and will
return to a normal level. The measurement value should not be taken as the basis of medical
treatment.
ALARM: The computer will sound a "beep" when "MODE", "SET", and "RESET" buttons are
pressed.
AUTO ON/OFF AND AUTO START/STOP: If the machine does not detect any input for 4
minutes, the power will switch off automatically.

Questions and answers
The computer screen is not functioning as not recording any distance, time , calories or speed only pulse. This is brand new bike A90-196
The computer screen on the HOMCOM A90-196 bike may not be recording distance, time, calories, or speed due to the following potential reasons:
1. RESET Button Pressed: If the RESET button has been pressed, it can reset all data (except ODO values) to zero, so these values may not display.
2. Batteries Issue: The device may not function properly if batteries are mixed (e.g., mixing old and new batteries or different types like alkaline and rechargeable). Ensure the correct and consistent type of batteries is used.
3. Improper Setup: The computer may not have been set up correctly. Use the “MODE” button to navigate to the specific function and the “SET” button to configure duration or other parameters.
4. Malfunction or Interference: The equipment’s electronic components may face interference or malfunction. Verify that it is installed and used as per the instructions to prevent issues.
Ensure these potential causes are checked to resolve the issue.

Why won't the computer screen measure my exercising? I have tried again and again to reset etc, then spent half hour cycling but no speed distance etc is registering only pulse. There seems to be one anomaly which is in the top Left hand side it says stop would this have any bearing on why it's not registering anything?
Computer not recording any differences in speed distance or time and no alarm sounds
The HOMCOM A90-196 computer may not be recording speed, distance, time, or sounding alarms due to the following reasons:
1. No Input Detected – The machine has an auto start/stop function, meaning if it does not detect movement or input, it may not record data.
2. Power Issue – The computer operates on 2 x AAA batteries. If the batteries are drained or incorrectly installed, the computer will not function.
3. Sensor Connection – If the sensor that detects movement is disconnected or faulty, the computer will not record speed or distance.
4. Auto Power Off – The system automatically turns off after 4 minutes of inactivity, which may stop data recording.
5. Button Response – If the “MODE,” “SET,” or “RESET” buttons are unresponsive, the alarm may not sound due to a malfunction.
Checking the battery installation, ensuring proper sensor connection, and verifying movement detection should help resolve the issue.

There is no information regarding the sensor positioning or operation in the manual, where is that information to be found
Information about sensor positioning and operation for the HOMCOM A90-196 can be found in the "COMPUTER OPERATION" section of the manual. Specifically, the "PULSE" function details how to use the heart rate monitor grips on the handlebars to display heart rate readings.
