Should your computer not function properly after installing the battery or you want to reset it to default values, push the AC-button on the rear of the housing. 4. Basic settings Basic settings are settings crucial to data measuring and operating the computer. Such as language, wheel size(s), clock. - Page 30 4.2 Measuring and setting the wheel size(s) >>> P07 In order for your VDO computer to precisely calculate speed and distance, you have to mea- sure the circumference of your wheels With an incorrect wheel size set, all related values like speed, trip distance, odometer etc.
- Page 31 If you have selected the Metric system (KM) you have to enter your wheel size/s in millimeters. If you have selected English system (MI) you have to enter your wheel size/s in inches. TIP: Write down your wheel sizes on your VDO-User-Card for easy reference. The values listed in the chart are approximate.
- Page 32 If applicable, enter wheel size 2 as described above If you don’t need to enter the second wheel size, hold the b key until the computer returns to main menu TRIPDISTANCE/SETTINGS. Watch out: Default settings for the wheel sizes are as follows: Bike 1 = 2155 mm and Bike 2 = 2000 mm.
