The purpose of this quick-start manual is to help you more easily navigate the new CD300DW Double Wireless cyclo-computer.

1.   Begin by pressing the small grey RESTART button on the back of the head unit. The screen should now display “SYnC Id”, with “SYnC” flashing.

2. Within 5 minutes of pressing the RESTART button you’ll need to synchronize the sensor to the head unit, or an error message in the form of an “E” will appear in the upper right hand display. This sync process is most easily done off the bike, holding one piece in each hand.   With the sensor and head unit held at least 20 cm apart, press and hold the RESET button on the sensor for 5-10 seconds. During this time, the box in the upper right hand corner of the screen will have a number that will scroll through the various sync numbers, flash three times, and finally settle on a sync ID number. The unit will then return to the main operating screen with zeros in all data windows.

3.   The unit is now synced, but the individual settings must still be set. Begin by pressing the grey MENU button on the back of the unit. The first screen to appear is the “CHEC ZonE” screen, with “ZonE” flashing. This where you will set the upper and lower limits of the cadence zone, so that an alarm will sound if cadence falls below or above the pre-set limits. For more detailed information on setting cadence zones, consult the main manual.

4.   The next screen is “SLCt ON”, where you will choose between auto mode or manual start/stop mode. Press START/ENTER and now only “On” appears. Use MODE 1 or MODE 2 to toggle the AT (Auto Mode) On or Off. Press START/ENTER again to enter your selection, and the screen will return to “SlCt“ On (or Off). Press MODE 2 to continue to the next screen.

5.   The next screen is “SLCt On”, with a sound icon flashing in the lower right hand corner. Press START/ENTER to manipulate settings relating to the sound. MODE 1 will allow you to choose between setting the cadence zone alarm sound effect (“Cdc”) and the button sound effect (“bE”), while MODE 2 will allow you turn each of their sound effects on or off. With desired setting chosen, press START/ENTER and screen will return to the “SlCt On or Off” with sound icon flashing. Press MODE 2 to continue to the next screen.

6.   The next screen is “CHEC Id”, where you can determine which of the sync ID frequencies your particular unit has selected. This information is helpful to know if you are riding with another person that also is running a CD300DW, to ensure you are not both running the same sync ID frequency, which could cross interference or “cross-talk” between the two units. If this is the case and you wish to change the sync ID number, press START/ENTER and the screen will now display “SYnC Id” with the word SynC flashing. At this point, repeat step two of this quick start manual concerning syncing the sensor to the head unit. When a new ID number is chosen, the screen will return to “CHEC Id”. Press MODE 2 to continue to the next screen

7.   The next screen is “SEt” with a clock face icon flashing to the left. This where you will choose either 12 or 24 hour clock time and set the time of day.   Press STERT/ENTER and the upper right hand screen will blink 12h or 24h. MODE 2 toggles between the two. With time scale chosen, press MODE 1 and hour column of clock will flash. MODE 2 will advance the hour. With hour set, press MODE 1, and minutes column will flash. MODE 2 will advance the minute,, pressing and holding will advance the minute rapidly. With minutes set, but still flashing, press START/ENTER, and the screen will return to the SEt with flashing clock face icon screen. Press MODE 2 to continue to the next screen.

8.   The next screen is “SEt OP-bE”. This where you can assign the functions of the MODE 1 and MODE 2 2 buttons to the optional remote buttons.   These buttons are wired into the handlebar clamp, are sold separately, and can be located at remote positions on the handlebar. See main manual for instructions on assigning the remote buttons functions. Press the MODE 2 button to continue to the next screen.

9. The next screen is ”SlCt UnIt”. This is where you will choose either mph or km/h as your speed scale. Press START/ENTER, and “UnIt” will be displayed with either mph OR km/h flashing in the upper right hand screen. Use either MODE 1 or MODE 2 to toggle between the two. With desired speed scale flashing, Press START/ENTER button. Screen will return to SLCt UnIt with desired speed scale flashing. Press MODE 2 to continue to the next screen.

10. The next screen is “InPut Odo”. This is where you can manually input a previous total mileage value as your current odometer. Press Start/Enter and “00000” will appear under “InPut”, with the last zero flashing. MODE 2 will increase the flashing digit. MODE 1 will toggle to the next column. With desired odometer reading entered, with one of the columns still flashing, press START/ENTER and screen will return to “InPut Odo”, with “Odo” flashing. Press MODE 2 to continue to the next screen.

11. The next screen is “CHG 2096” with a flashing wheel icon to the right of the lower display. This where you will calibrate the unit to your particular tire size. Refer to the tire calibration chart in the main manual for calibration numbers, or perform a tire-roll out procedure to manually measure the circumference of your tire in millimeters. The default tire size setting of 2096 is for a 700 X 23c tire. To change this number, press START/ENTER, “2096” will appear with the last digit flashing. MODE 2 will increase the digit, and MODE 1 will toggle to the next column. With desired calibration number entered, with one of the columns still flashing, press START/ENTER and screen will return to CHG with your calibration number displayed below. Press MODE 2 to continue to the next screen.

12. The next screen is “SLCt” with A and B icons in circles to the right. This is where you will choose either wheel size A or wheel size B. A is more suitable for general speeds, B is more suitable for slower speeds (such as may be encountered in long mountain bike climbs). See main manual for more detailed instructions on assigning wheel size values to the A and B settings. Most applications will require the A setting, so with the A icon flashing, press MODE 2 and the screen will return to the first setting screen, the “CHEC ZonE” screen.

13. Set up is now complete. Press MENU on the back of the head unit to exit the menu function and return to the normal operating screen, with zeros in all data columns.

The unit is now ready to use.

NOTE: The data accumulated on a single ride can be zeroed out by pressing MODE 1 and START/ENTER simultaneously and quickly releasing both buttons.
