    FUNCTION LIST SPEEDOMETER (S) (Mile/h or km/h) Tells you your current speed on the upper line of the display screen at all times. CUMULATIVE ODOMETER (O) Tells you your cumulative distance until you perform an all clear total reset, the battery is changed, or the unit passes 9999.9 mi.
  • Page 4 when the wheel is set into motion and stops when the wheel stops for over four seconds. When one hour of riding time has elapsed, the clock display will automatically display the time as hours and minutes. When ten hours of rid- ing time have elapsed, the clock will return to 0:00:00.

    AUTO POWER SAVING MODE (AUTO START-STOP) As a battery saving device, Vetta computers will automatically shut down after 10 minutes of non-use. Your C-350 will automatically restart itself as soon as the unit receives input from the wheel.
  • Page 7: Battery Installation

    BATTERY INSTALLATION The C-350 computers use a common LR44 1.5v button cell battery. Replacement batteries are available at most camera shops and from your Vetta retailer. Under normal usage a battery should last approximately one year. NOTE: Most prob- lems that occur with cycle computers are caused by dead or weak batteries. If you are having problems with your computer's operation, check and replace the battery first.
  • Page 8 INSTALLATION OF TRANSMITTER BATTERY The transmitter comes from the factory with the CR2032 3v battery installed. STEP 1 To replace the battery, first remove the battery cap on the top of the transmitter with a coin. Remove the old battery and dispose of properly. NOTE: Check the inside of the transmitter for corrosion.

    WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS CAUTION Vetta encourages you to ride safely. Wear a helmet every time you ride, use front and rear lights at night, and always keep your eyes on the road ahead of you. CAUTION Vetta cycle computers are sophisticated electronic instruments. Vetta recommends that this product be installed only by a qualified bicycle retailer.
  • Page 10 PROGRAMMING THE COMPUTER HEAD Now that you are familiar with the features of your Vetta C-350 cycle computer, you are ready to begin pro- gramming the unit specifically for your bike. Take a few minutes to familiarize yourself with the buttons and their functions before you proceed to program the unit.
  • Page 11 DETERMINING YOUR CORRECT WHEEL SIZE Vetta cycle computers are programmed using the circumference of the wheel measured in millimeters. Note that while your computer can be programmed to +/- 1mm for total accuracy, discrepancies of as much as 50mm or more will not have a significant effect on the accuracy of the unit for most normal rides.
  • Page 12 WHEEL SIZE CALCULATION If the wheel size of your bike is not listed in the chart, follow these simple steps to calculate the wheel circumference number for your bike. STEP 1 Measure the distance from the center of the front axle to the ground in millimeters. If you are measuring in inches, simply multiply the number of inches by 25.4 to get millimeters.
  • Page 13 PROGRAMMING YOUR WHEEL SIZE Once you select miles or kilometers and press the “SET” button, the C-350 will automatically advance into the wheel size setting mode. (See SETTING MILES/HOUR OR KILOMETERS/HOUR) STEP 1 The default wheel size setting of 2155 (700 x 32c) will appear on the screen with the first digit flashing.
  • Page 14 To reset the wheel circumference number, press the “SET” and “MODE” buttons simultaneously for three seconds to display current wheel size number. Again press the “SET” and “MODE” buttons simultaneously for three seconds and the original number will blink. Repeat the steps above to change the wheel size setting.
  • Page 15 PROGRAMMING THE RESETTABLE ODOMETER Once you have programmed your wheel size setting, the computer will then enter the programming sequence for the resettable odometer indicated by a flashing “0000.0”. If you do not want to program the odometer, press the “SET”...
  • Page 16: Setting The Clock

    SETTING THE CLOCK STEP 1 In any display mode, press the the ”MODE” button for one second to display the clock screen. STEP 2 While the clock display is visible, press the “MODE” and “SET” buttons simultaneously to reset the clock and the last digit will start blinking. Press the “MODE” button until you reach the desired number.

  • Page 18 STEP 1 Cut the plastic screw from the sensor mounting band and place the mounting band on the fork blade with the mounting assembly facing the front of the bicy- cle. Wrap the mounting band around your fork blade and through the slot on the other side of the bracket, taking up as much slack as possible.
  • Page 19 HANDLEBAR BRACKET AND HEAD UNIT INSTALLATION STEP 1 Attach the computer mounting bracket to the mounting band by sliding the disc on the top of the mounting band into the slot provided on the bracket until it snaps into place. STEP 2 Cut the plastic screw from the mounting band and place the mounting band on the handlebar/stem with the mounting bracket facing up.
  • Page 20 STEP 5 Cut off the excess band. CAUTION Do not over tighten the mounting band as this may result in breakage (stripped screw or mounting band). The mounting band only needs to be tightened enough to keep it from rotating on the handlebar/stem during normal riding.
  • Page 21: Installation Test

    If you do not get a speed reading, check to be sure that the magnet and sensor alignment is correct and that the space between the magnet and sensor is 1-5mm. If this does not solve the problem, talk to your Authorized Vetta Retailer. In the United States Vetta customers can call our service hotline at 1.800.GO.VETTA.
