4.6. Wheel Circumference Setting

Accurate wheel circumference setting is crucial for precise speed and distance measurements. There are two methods:

  1. Using Marked Size: Refer to the table below to find the perimeter based on the marked size on your wheel.
  2. Direct Measurement: Make a mark point on your wheel. Cycle the bicycle forward one full rotation. Measure the distance traveled in millimeters (MM). This is your wheel circumference. For best accuracy, sit on the bicycle while measuring (recommended for two people).

  • Neteja: Do not clean the device with water directly or aggressive cleaners. Use a soft, damp drap per netejar la superfície.
  • Temperatura: Do not expose the computer to high temperatures (above +40°C, e.g., inside a hot car) or low temperatures (below 0°C).
  • Emmagatzematge: Store the device in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, high humidity, children, heat sources, and inflammable materials.
  • Desmuntatge: Do not disassemble or otherwise modify the computer, battery, or accessories. This will void the warranty and may cause damage.
  • Longevitat de la bateria: Battery capacity can be reduced to approximately 70-80% after 300-500 charging cycles.
  • Eliminació: Dispose of the computer and battery ecologically according to valid local regulations.
