2.5 Selecting the wheel circumference (wheelsize) Your computer VDO MC 1.0 indicates your wheel size as WS (Wheelsize) = wheel circumference. Your VDO MC 1.0 is able to process two different wheelsizes for two different bikes (i.e. road bike and mountainbike) The following default values are preset Wheelsize 1 WS1 = 2155 mm wheel circumference Wheelsize 2 WS2 = 2000 mm wheel circumference Warning:...
Page 26
2.5.2 Entering (programming) the wheelsize(s) Step 1: By pressing MODE 1 call TRIP DIST in your display. Step 2: Press MODE 1 for 3 sec. In the upper part of the display you see "WS1" and "KMH" or "MPH" flashing. The lower part of the display alternately shows "ENTER MTRIC SYSTM"...
Page 27
2.5.3 Switching wheelsizes (changing from WS1 to WS2) To change from wheelsize 1 to wheelsize 2 and vice versa press and hold MODE1 and MODE2 simultaneously for 3 sec. Warning: Once you have switched from wheelsize 1 to wheelsize 2 or vice versa following Tripdata of wheelsize 1 or 2 is automatically reset to zero: TRIP DIST, RIDE TIME, AVG SPEED, MAX SPEED, TRIP ALTI, AVG CLIMB, MAX ALTI, MAX CLIMB.
Page 28
2.7 The NAVIGATOR The NAVIGATOR is a second, individual trip distance counter that can be: • manually reset to zero • preset to a certain value, the trip distance is then counted from this value. The NAVIGATOR is very helpful following road book instructions or tour suggestions of bike magazines. For example, your road book tour wants you "to go straight for a mile and then make a right turn, then go on for half a mile and make a sharp left turn".
Page 29
2.7.2 Resetting the NAVIGATOR to zero Step 1: MODE 2 calls NAVIGATOR into display Step 2: Press MODE 2 for 3 sec., the value indicated is being reset to zero. Your VDO MC 1.0 will be counting on from zero. Warning: Before resetting to zero, make sure the information NAVIGATOR is called in.
Page 30
2.9 Manual operation of the STOPWATCH Your VDO MC 1.0 features a manual stopwatch in addition to the ride-timer with automatic Start/Stop function. The manual stopwatch is counting up to 19:59:59 HH:MM:SS There are two ways to call in the stopwatch and simultaneously start it: Direct Start: By pressing M1 and M2 briefly the stopwatch is called in and started simultaneously.

4. Service Interval Indicator Your VDO MC 1.0 features a Service Interval Indicator to remind you to have your bike serviced at your trusted bike shop. The service interval reminder is indicated separately for both your bikes. Every 750 km / 468 mi, the service icon is activated. The service icon flashes and the lower part of the display shows "BIKE CHECK"...

6. Altimeter information of your VDO MC 1.0 Your VDO MC 1.0 does permanentely display following altimeter-information: • current altitude in meters of feet • current incline or grade in % • current temperature in C or F Important: Current incline or grade is displayed in increments of 1%. A negative grade (descent) is indicated by a negative sign. The current incline / grade information is calculated every 4 sec (display refresh) by incorporating the TRIP DIST and TRIP ALTI information of the last 12 sec.
Page 33
6.1. The home altitude or basis altitude of choice 6.1.1. Significance of the home or basis altitude The altitude calculation works by measuring barometric pressure. Your VDO MC 1.0 converts the data of current barometric pressure into the respective altitude. In order for your VDO MC 1.0 to indicate altitude and climbing precisely, your home or basis altitude must be entered before. The current barometric pressure is allocated to the home altitude entered.
Page 34
6.1.2. Setting up / entering your home or basis altitude Step 1: By pressing ALTI call TRIP ALTI in the display. Push MODE1 for 3 sec ENTER HOME ALTI TUDE and its previous value will be displayed. Step 2: By pressing MODE2 the previous value is increased. Hold down the button to quickly scroll. By pressing MODE1 the previous value is decreased. Hold down the button to quickly scroll.
Page 35
6.2 Correction of actual altitude While you ride, the airpressure changes due to your gain in altitude as well as due to a wether change.To correct that influence of the wether change you can also adjust the actual altitude display at your MC 1.0.Should you see a sign indicating actual altitude and should this altitude differ from the display readout at your MC 1.0, you can manually correct the actual altitude.
