Battery Information

Smart Speed Sensor and Smart Cadence Sensor
Both sensors contain a user-replaceable CR2032 battery.


Before using sensors:

  1. Locate the circular battery cover on the back of sensors.
  2. Use your finger to press and twist cover counter-clockwise so the indicator on the cover points to unlock icon ().
  3. Remove the cover and battery tab.
  4. Use your finger to press and twist cover clockwise so the indicator on the cover points to locked icon ().

To replace the battery:

  1. Locate the circular battery cover on the back of sensors.
  2. Use your finger to press and twist cover counter-clockwise so the indicator on the cover points to unlock icon ().
  3. Remove the battery and insert new battery with positive connector first into the battery chamber.
  4. Use your finger to press and twist cover clockwise so the indicator on the cover points to locked icon ().

NOTE:

  • When installing a new battery, if the battery is not placed with the positive connector first, the positive connector will easily deform and malfucntion.
  • Be careful not to damage or lose the O-ring gasket on the cover.
  • Contact your local waste disposal department to properly dispose of used batteries.

Smart Heart Rate Monitor

The heart rate monitor contains a user-replaceable CR2032 battery.

To replace the battery:

  1. Locate the circular battery cover on the back of the heart rate monitor.
  2. Use a coin to twist the cover counter-clockwise.
  3. Remove the cover and battery.
  4. Insert the new battery, with the positive connector facing upward and lightly press it.
  5. Use a coin to twist the cover clockwise.

NOTE:

  • Be careful not to damage or lose the O-ring gasket.
  • Contact your local waste disposal department to properly dispose of used batteries.

Install Rider 420

Use Bike Mount to Mount Rider 420
Use Bike Mount to Mount Rider 420

Install Speed/Cadence/Dual Sensor

(Optional)
Install Speed/Cadence/Dual Sensor
NOTE:

  • Once sensors waken, the LED blinks twice. The LED continues to blink when you continue to pedal for pairing. After around 15 blinks, it will stop blinking. If not used for 10 minutes, sensor would go into sleep mode to preserve power. Please complete the pairing during the time the sensor is awake.

Install Heart Rate Belt

(Optional)
Install Heart Rate Belt
NOTE:

  • In cold weather, wear appropriate clothing to keep the heart rate belt warm.
  • The belt should be worn directly on your body.
  • Adjust the sensor position to the middle part of the body (wear it slightly below the chest). The Bryton logo shown on the sensor should be facing upward. Tighten the elastic belt firmly so that it will not turn loose during the exercise.
  • If the sensor cannot be detected or the reading is abnormal, please warm up for about 5 minutes.
  • If the heart rate belt is not used for a period of time, remove the sensor from the heart rate belt.

NOTE: Improper battery replacement may cause an explosion. When replacing a new battery, use only the original battery or a similar type of battery specified by the manufacturer. Disposal of the used batteries must be carried out in accordance to the regulations of your local authority.

Wheel Size and Circumference

The wheel size is marked on both sides of the tires.

Basic Care For Your Rider 420

Taking good care of your device will reduce the risk of damage to your device.

  • Do not drop your device or subject it to severe shock.
  • Do not expose your device to extreme temperatures and excessive moisture.
  • The screen surface can easily be scratched. Use the non-adhesive generic screen protectors to help protect the screen from minor scratches.
  • Use diluted neutral detergent on a soft cloth to clean your device.
  • Do not attempt to disassemble, repair, or make any modifications to your device. Any attempt to do so will make the warranty invalid.
