Mounting

The handlebar bracket can be mounted on the handlebar and also on the stem.

Mounting is possible on handlebar (Position A-1) or stem (Position A-2).

For using it on the stem, change bracket mounting orientation from Position A to Position B.

Remove the protective tape.
Place the handle bar and fasten it with the cable ties.

Mount the transmitter with cable ties on the fork (max. distance to the handlebar bracket max. 60 cm; best mounting on the right side, handlebar bracket and transmitter should be on the same side).

Fix the magnet on a spoke so that it will face the mark on the transmitter. Adjust the magnet position and fine tune the sensor if necessary (distance between transmitter and magnet max. 3 mm).

Rotate the CM 4.2 to 45 degree left and install it into the bracket. Then rotate it 45 degrees right to lock it. To unlock, rotate 45 degrees to the left.

Mounting of optional cadence-set

(separately available)

Mount the handlebar as described above on the handlebar or on the stem.
Place the sensor on the cable on the left chain-brace in height of the crank with help of cable-ties so that it is still loose enough to be lined up. Mount the cadence-magnet (with help of a cable tie) on the inside of the crank. The distance between magnet and sensor should be max. 3 mm.
The magnets must point directly to the mark on the sensor. Now switch on the cadence measuring in the setting mode of the CM 4.2 (see chap. 2.1). Turn crank a few times to check if the mounting is correct. Now tighten the cable-ties.

Putting on the heart rate transmission belt

whoever carries out sport should have a general medical check up on his/her general state of health - especially beginners, persons older than 35 years of age and anyone who has suffered from illnesses or injuries in the past. It is recommended that a doctor be consulted in any case in the presence of risk factors, such as smoking, high blood pressure, high cholesterol values, diabetes, lack of exercise and excess weight.

Pacemaker wearers should consult their doctor before using any heart rate measurement device!

The transmitter belt is hung in the elastic chest belt and fastened around the upper body. The transmitter (plastic part with the Ciclo-logo) should lie over the middle of the upper stomach, immediately below the breastbone, so that the logo on the transmitter is legible (viewed from the front) (see illustration). The electrodes in the belt, to the right and left of the transmitter, must be in contact with the skin.
Pull the belt tight so that it cannot slip and constant contact with the body is guaranteed during movement.

If the CM 4.2 fails to display any heart rate, it probably means that there is no contact between the skin and the electrodes. Moistening the electrodes and the underlying skin often helps. Best results are obtained if electrode gel is used (available from pharmacies).

Measurement of the heart rate is only possible if the transmitter belt is fitted correctly and the CM 4.2 is within the transmitter's reception range (max. 60 cm).

Preparation

Inserting the battery

Insert battery type CR2032 with plus-pole facing up. Close battery cap with a coin, being sure not to over tighten. After inserting the battery the display will show normal mode.

Functions

The CM 4.2 has an automatic start/stop when on the handlebar bracket.
That means, 4 sec. after the first wheel turn the display shows normal mode and the current speed.
1 minute after the last wheel turn (and without a button is pressed) the display changes to an "energy save" mode. During this mode, only the time is displayed.
If the wheel turns or a button is pushed, the computer will resume normal functions.

The optional heart rate measuring works also without speed signal: when CM 4.2 is in normal mode (by pressing any button or auto-start), the heart rate receiver is automatically switched on.
And as long as a heart rate is shown in the display, there is no automatically switching to sleep mode.

To change from bike 1 to bike 2 (and back) press right and left button short simultaneously (in the left part of the display the 1 changes to 2 and back).

To reset all day values, press right and left button for three seconds.

The CM 4.2 has a three-lined display. In the middle part always the current speed is shown, with a small 1 or 2 left beside, that shows whether the current values are valid for bike 1 or bike 2.

To advance the functions of the upper display, press right button, to advance the functions of the lower display press left button.

CICLOInZone - Philosophy and Application

CICLOInZone® is a solution for the very best personalisation of your training routine.
It is possible to calculate the optimum training threshold with the CICLOInZone® function on the basis of your personal data and your pulse rate when at rest.

CICLOInZone® is the ideal solution for personalised cardio training applied to any sport, from jogging and cross-country running to road and indoor cycling.
Improve your fitness? – Lose weight? – Train whilst always taking your health into consideration? Everyone will find the correct aim to follow in their training. But how do you train to achieve those aims in the most efficient possible manner? How do you find the right intensity of effort during the training? CICLOInZone® is the optimum training ZONE for effort, resistance and weight loss.

What does CICLOInZone® do?
It calculates the optimum training zone for effort, resistance and weight loss.
The values vary from person to person and they offer a valid training support – always staying between 70% and 85% of the maximum heart rate.
(+/- 5% of tolerance, taking into consideration the actual heart rate when at rest and the level of training).

The question of burning fat is seen in the "correct" light with CICLOInZone® – on the basis of the personal data collected.

Battery change
