The speed sensor, handlebar bracket and wheel magnet
should be installed first.
NOTE: To utilize previously accumulated Odometer data, refer to
the section Manually Replacing Mileage into Odometer
described in the last section of this manual.
The following set up is required before use:
1. Find the Wheel Calibration Number
(Length of Tire Roll-Out)
Determine the length of the tire (Length in centi-
meters) from the Cross Reference Table. Alter-
nately, you can find the most accurate wheel cali-
bration number by rolling the tire on the ground.
In this method, properly inflate the tires, sit on the
bike and measure the distance of one wheel
length. This distance in centimeters is the most
accurate number. (Inches X 2.45 = Centimeters)
2. Perform the ALL CLEAR OPERA-
TION to clear the computer and
set the speed scale:
Press the SET Button while pressing the MODE
and START/STOP(S) Buttons (ALL CLEAR OP-
ERATION: Fig. 2). The entire memory of the
computer will be erased, and the complete
screen will light up and then all fade away, leav-
ing a flashing K on the screen. A press on the
MODE Button will display K and M alternately
(Fig. 3). Select your desired speed scale. Then
press the START/STOP(S) Button to set the
scale. The display moves to the next screen.
3. Set the Wheel Circumference.
The number 210 (typical wheel circum-
ference for 700x23C tires) will be dis-
played (Fig. 4).
Input the number from step 1 above.
Press the MODE Button to increase the num-
ber. Press the START/STOP(S) Button to
decrease it. You can fast forward the num-
bers by holding either buttons down.
Set the number by pressing the SET Button.
Your computer is now set up for riding.

Overview

The CatEye Mity 3 (CC-MT300N) is a cyclocomputer designed to provide cyclists with essential ride data. This device measures and displays various metrics to help users track their performance and manage their cycling activities.

Function Description

The Mity 3 cyclocomputer offers a range of functions, categorized into main and sub-functions, accessible via the MODE button.

Main Functions:

  • Elapsed Time (Tm): Displays the duration of the current ride, ranging from 0:00:00 to 9:59:59. It can be reset.
  • Average Speed (Av): Shows the average speed of the ride, from 0.0 to 105 km/h (or 0.0 to 65 mph). Recording is possible for up to 27 hours or 999.99 miles/km. It can be reset. The Average Pace Arrow indicates if the current speed is faster or slower than the average speed.
  • Trip Distance 1 (Dst1): Records the distance of the current trip, from 0.00 to 999.99 km (or miles). It can be reset.

Sub-Functions:

  • Clock: Displays the current time, in 24-hour format (0:00-23:59) for kilometers or 12-hour format (1:00-12:59) for miles. It can be reset.
  • Maximum Speed (Mx): Shows the highest speed achieved during the ride, from 0.0 (4.0) to 105 km/h (or 0.0 (3.0) to 65 mph). It can be reset.
  • Trip Distance 2 (Dst2): Records a second trip distance, from 0.00 to 999.99 km (or miles). This function allows for single resetting only.
  • Total Distance (Odo): Displays the accumulated total distance, from 0.0 to 9999.9 / 10000 to 99999 km (or miles). This is the odometer reading.

Usage Features:

Setting Up the Device:

  1. Bracket Installation: The bracket is secured to the handlebar using a rubber pad and screw. The wire is routed along the fork and secured with nylon ties, ensuring enough slack for handlebar movement.
  2. Main Unit Installation: The main unit slides onto the bracket until it clicks, automatically connecting the contacts. A test involves spinning the front wheel to check for speed display; if not, the sensor and magnet positions need adjustment.
  3. Computer Setup:
    • Wheel Calibration Number (Tire Roll-Out): The wheel circumference (L) in centimeters is determined either from a cross-reference table or by rolling the tire one full rotation and measuring the distance.
    • ALL CLEAR OPERATION: Pressing the SET button while simultaneously pressing the MODE and START/STOP(S) buttons clears all memory (Odo data, speed scale, wheel setting, clock time) and sets the speed scale (K for kilometers or M for miles).
    • Wheel Circumference Setting: The calculated wheel circumference (L) is entered. The MODE button increases the number, and the START/STOP(S) button decreases it. Holding buttons down allows for fast forwarding/decreasing.
    • Clock Setting: With the TIME function active and the speed scale symbol not flashing, the clock can be set to 24-hour (K) or 12-hour (M) format. Holding the MODE button enters clock setting mode, then the SET button allows adjustment of hours and minutes using MODE and ST./STOP(S) buttons.

Sensor and Magnet Installation:

  • The sensor is temporarily attached to the inside of the right front fork. It is compatible with fork diameters of 21-36mm (S band) or 11-26mm (L band). For aeroforks, an attachment is used.
  • The magnet is attached to the right side spoke of the front wheel.
  • Important Alignment: The magnet's center must align with the sensor's marking line when rotating the wheel. The clearance between the sensor and magnet must be less than 5mm. If the clearance is wide, the sensor band can be mounted in the opposite direction.

Operating the Computer:

  • Changing Data Display: Pressing the MODE button cycles through main functions. Holding the MODE button for 2 seconds or longer switches to sub-functions.
  • Starting/Stopping Recording: The ST./STOP(S) button starts and stops the recording of TIME, AVERAGE SPEED, and DISTANCE 1 or 2. During recording, the speed scale (K or M) flickers.
  • Auto Mode (AT): The computer can be set to automatically start and stop recording based on wheel motion. This is activated by pressing the SET button in DISTANCE, TIME, or AVERAGE SPEED functions, displaying the "AT" symbol.
  • Moving Data to Upper Display: TIME, AVERAGE SPEED, or MAX SPEED can be moved to the larger upper display for easier viewing. In AUTO MODE, this is done by displaying the desired mode and pressing the ST./STOP(S) button. In non-AUTO MODE, it's done by holding the ST./STOP(S) button for 2 seconds.
  • Resetting Functions:
    • DISTANCE 1, TIME, MAX SPEED, AVERAGE SPEED: Simultaneously press MODE and ST./STOP(S) buttons for 1 second in any function other than Odo or Dst2.
    • DISTANCE 2: In Dst2 function, simultaneously hold MODE and ST./STOP(S) buttons for 1 second.
  • Wheel Setting A and B: The computer supports two wheel settings for different bike tire sizes. Wheel Setting "B" is optimized for low-speed sensitivity (e.g., mountain bikes). To select between "A" or "B", hold the SET button in any function other than ODOMETER. To check the current wheel setting number, simultaneously press ST./STOP(S) and MODE buttons in ODOMETER function. Holding the button for 3 seconds or longer in this state allows switching between "A" and "B".
  • Changing Wheel Setting Number: In ODOMETER function, press the SET button. The wheel setting number flashes. Use MODE to increase and ST./STOP(S) to decrease the number. Press SET to confirm.
  • Power Saving Function: If no signal is received for 60-70 minutes, the computer enters power saving mode, displaying only the CLOCK. Press MODE or ST./STOP(S) to wake it up.

Maintenance Features:

  • Cleaning: If the computer or bracket contacts get wet, dry them with a cloth to prevent rusting and speed detection errors. If dirt or sand jams the buttons, wash them away with water.
  • Battery Replacement: When the display becomes faint, it's time to replace the battery. Note Odo data before replacement. Insert a new CR2032 lithium battery with the (+) pole facing up. After replacement, perform the ALL CLEAR OPERATION and re-enter necessary settings (including Odo data if desired).

Troubleshooting:

  • No Display: Check if the battery has run out and replace it. Perform ALL CLEAR OPERATION.
  • Incorrect Data: Perform ALL CLEAR OPERATION.
  • Current Speed Not Appearing: Short-circuit the main unit contact several times with a metal piece. If speed appears, the issue is with the bracket or sensor. Check for damaged wires (replace bracket sensor if needed). Re-adjust sensor and magnet position (clearance approx. 5mm). Clean contacts on the main unit or bracket.

Manually Replacing Mileage (Odo) into Odometer: After an ALL CLEAR OPERATION (e.g., due to battery replacement), previously accumulated Odo data can be manually re-entered. After ALL CLEAR, select the speed scale, then hold the MODE button without pressing SET. The Odo and "0000.0" will display, with the 0.1 digit flashing. Use MODE to enter numbers and ST./STOP(S) to move digits. Press SET to confirm, then proceed to Wheel Setting function.
