The CATEYE STRADA CYCLOCOMPUTER CC-RD100 is a bicycle computer designed to track various cycling metrics. It provides essential information to cyclists, including speed, distance, elapsed time, and clock functions.

Function Description

The device primarily functions as a cyclocomputer, displaying real-time and accumulated data. Its core functions include:

• Elapsed Time (Tm): Measures the duration of your ride, from 0:00'00" up to 9:59'59".
• Trip Distance (Dst): Tracks the distance covered during a single ride, ranging from 0.00 to 999.99 km (or miles).
• Trip Distance-2 (Dst2): Offers a second trip distance measurement, from 0.00 to 999.99 km (or miles), then automatically switching to 1000.0 to 9999.9 km (or miles) for longer rides. This is useful for tracking different segments or specific routes.
• Average Speed (Av): Calculates your average speed for the current ride, from 0.0 to 200.0 km/h (or 0.0 to 125.0 mph). If the elapsed time or trip distance exceeds certain limits, an "E" (Error) will be displayed.
• Maximum Speed (Mx): Records the highest speed achieved during your ride, from 0.0 to 200.0 km/h (or 0.0 to 125.0 mph).
• Total Distance (Odo): Accumulates the total distance covered over the lifetime of the computer, from 0.0 to 9999.9 km (or miles), then switching to 10000 to 99999 km (or miles). This value is never reset by normal operations.
• Clock: Displays the current time in either 24-hour (0:00 - 23:59) or 12-hour (1:00 - 12:59) format.
• Pace Arrow: A visual indicator (▲ or ✔) that shows whether your current speed is faster or slower than your average speed.
• Current Speed: Displays your real-time speed, from 0.0 to 200.0 km/h (or 0.0 to 125.0 mph).
• Selected Mode: Indicates which data function is currently being displayed on the screen.

The computer automatically starts and stops measurement when the bicycle is in use. During measurement, the speed unit (km/h or mph) flashes.

Usage Features

The CATEYE STRADA CC-RD100 is designed for ease of use, with clear instructions for installation and operation.

Preparation:

1. Clear All Data (Initialization): Before first use or after battery replacement, press the AC button on the back of the computer to clear all stored data.
2. Select Speed Units: Choose between "km/h" or "mph" as your preferred speed unit. This is done through the menu screen.
3. Enter Tire Circumference: Input the circumference of your bicycle's wheel in millimeters. A reference table is provided in the manual, or users can perform a precise "wheel roll out" measurement for accuracy. The computer supports two wheel size settings (A and B) for shared use between two bicycles.
4. Set the Clock: Configure the current time in either 24-hour or 12-hour format.

Installation:

The computer system consists of a bracket, sensor, and magnet.

• Bracket Installation: The bracket can be attached to the stem or handlebar using a band. It's crucial to tighten it securely, ensuring the cable doesn't get caught.
• Cable Management: The sensor cable should be wrapped around the front brake cable to prevent it from hindering handlebar rotation. Any excess bracket band should be cut and rounded off to prevent injury.
• Sensor and Magnet Installation: The sensor attaches to the front fork, and the magnet attaches to a spoke. The magnet must pass through the sensor line, and the clearance between the sensor surface and the magnet should not exceed 5mm. Sensor pads can be used to adjust the sensor's position, and nylon ties can be used as an alternative to rubber bands for securing the sensor. After installation, gently rotate the front wheel to verify that speed is displayed on the computer.

Operation:

• Switching Functions: While the computer is mounted on the bracket, press the three raised dots below the screen to cycle through the different data functions (Tm, Dst, Dst2, Av, Mx, Odo, Clock). Pressing hard on other areas of the computer should be avoided to prevent malfunction.
• Resetting Data: To reset measurement data (except Dst2 and Odo), display the desired data and then press and hold the MODE button. To reset Dst2, display Dst2 and then press and hold MODE. The Total Distance (Odo) is never reset.
• Power-Saving Function: To conserve battery life, the computer automatically enters a power-saving mode if no signal is received for an hour, displaying only the clock. The main display reappears when a signal is detected or the MODE button is pressed.

Menu Screen:

The menu screen allows users to change settings. Pressing MENU brings up the menu, and pressing MODE cycles through menu options. Pressing and holding MODE changes the setting of the displayed menu. Options include:

• Wheel Selection: Toggles between two specified wheel sizes (A and B).
• Wheel Size Entry: Allows input of the tire circumference.
• Clock Setting: Configures the time.
• Total Distance Manual Entry: Enables manual input of the total distance, useful after battery replacement to restore the accumulated mileage.
• Speed Unit: Toggles between km/h and mph.

Troubleshooting:

The manual provides guidance for common issues, such as MODE not working, speed/distance not displaying, or incorrect data. It advises checking for dirt, sensor-magnet clearance, cable integrity, and battery status.

Maintenance Features

• Cleaning: To clean the computer or accessories, use a diluted neutral detergent on a soft cloth, then wipe with a dry cloth. Avoid using thinners, benzene, or alcohol.
• Battery Replacement: If the display appears faded, the battery needs to be replaced. The device uses a CR1620 lithium battery. Install the new battery with the (+) side facing upward. After replacement, the computer must be reinitialized. It's crucial to ensure the rubber packing is properly seated when closing the battery case cover to maintain its waterproof seal. A precision screwdriver is required for battery replacement.
• Disposal: Used batteries should be disposed of according to local regulations.

Safety Precautions:

• Always ride safely and avoid concentrating solely on the computer.
• Ensure the magnet, sensor, and bracket are securely installed and check them periodically.
• Keep batteries away from children; consult a doctor immediately if swallowed.
• Avoid prolonged direct sunlight exposure for the computer.
• Do not disassemble or drop the computer.
• When operating the computer on the bracket, only press the three raised dots below the screen.
• Never place the computer on a metal surface, as this can discharge the battery.
• Tighten the Flex-Tight bracket dial by hand only to avoid damaging threads.
• Be aware that the LCD screen may appear distorted when viewed through polarized sunglasses.
