4. Computer Setup and Programming

The Protegé comes with the battery preinstalled. Setup and Programing are facilitated by using the "set" and "mode" buttons loc ated on the

underside of the computer case (diagram #6). To initiate programming, press "mode" button to display SCREEN 1, with "ODO" displayed on

line 4. Depress and hold the "set" button for 3-4 seconds (use a pen or other such pointy object). Upon release, the M/H or K/H icon will flash.Ł

Ł

1) Miles or Kilometers Selection: Once "M/H" or "K/H" is flashing, press "mode" to switch to desired selection. Press "set" to lock in

your selection and advance the screen to Wheel Size Setting.Ł

Ł

2)

Wheel Size Setting (WSS):

The screen will now display "2154" with the "4" flashing. This is the default "WSS".Ł

* Background information: The bicycle computer calculates information based upon the distance traveled each time your wheel goes around. The wheel Ł

size setting equals the distance in mm traveled in one revolution of your wheel. There are two methods to determine the wheel size setting.Ł

Method 1:

Read the tire size on the side wall of your tire and input the number that corresponds to your tire size on the wheel size chart to

the right. Since there are many tire manufacturers and designs, tires listed as the same size from different manufacturers can actually vary

significantly in their actual circumference. Therefore, we recommend for maximum accuracy in you computer readings, to use Method 2.Ł

Method 2: Wheel Roll Out: For best results, find a flat smooth surface to perform the wheel roll out and inflate your tires to riding pressure.Ł

1) Place a piece of masking tape or draw a line on the surface to determine a starting position.Ł

2) Position the front tire valve at the 6:00 position (diagram #7) directly above the staring position.Ł

3) Roll the bicycle forward one revolution of the wheel on a straight line until the valve stem is again at the 6:00 position. (Note: Putting

pressure on the handle bars to simulate body weight on the tire will give more accurate results.) Mark the finishing position with masking

tape or a line. Repeat the procedure if necessary and average the results. Measure the distance between the starting and finishing positions

in mm, this is your WSS. (Note: If you use an inch measuring tape, multiply inches by 25.4 to achieve mm.) This is your WSS in mm.Ł

Imputing Wheel Size Setting (WSS)Ł

A) Press "mode" button to change "flashing" first digit to desired selection.Ł

B) Press "set" button to lock in your selection and advance to the next flashing digit.Ł

C) Repeat steps A-B until all four digits are set. After the forth digit is set, it will Ł

advance the screen to Odometer setting.

For future reference, write your WSS here:

Computer comes with the battery preinstalled prior to

purchase. The battery should last for 1-2 years with

normal use. If you find it necessary to replace the

battery, remove the computer from its bracket. (Hint:

and remove battery cover using a coin (diagram #6).

Install the battery (Model CR2032 3V Lithium) with the

"+" side facing up. Snap battery cover into case until
