receiving speed and distance data from the wheel sensor..
1. TOTAL DISTANCE–D. Accumulates the total distance (D) you have ridden up to 6,209.9
miles. At 6,210 miles it clears to 0 and resumes accumulation. To record yearly mileage, clear
before your first ride of a new year.
2. TRIP DISTANCE–d. Displays the distance (d) ridden since the last reset up to 620.99
miles. At 621.00 miles it resets to 0 and resumes accumulation. Trip Distance also resets auto-
matically when Ride Time reaches 10 hours. Reset at the start of each ride to avoid automatic
reset during your ride.
3. AVERAGE SPEED–AV. Displays the average speed since the last reset. Averages speed for
up to 10 hours. After 10 hours the Cyclometer 15 displays an ‘E’ instead of average speed. The
time over which the average has been calculated is shown in the Ride Time function.
4. RIDE TIME–ST. Displays ride times up to 9 hours 59 minutes. Resets automatically at 10
hours. Trip Distance and Average Speed also reset at 10 hours. Ride time is the time that the
bicycle's wheels have been turning. Time stopped is not accumulated. Average speed equals the
trip distance divided by the ride time.
5. MAXIMUM SPEED-MX. Displays the max speed since the last reset up to 75.0 mph.
