Usage Features
The device is designed for intuitive operation through a combination of an external switch and internal settings.
- Main Screen Switching: The "Up" button on the external switch cycles through total mileage, Trip O, Trip A, Trip B, and Max. record screens. Pressing the "Up" button for 3 seconds resets Trip A, Trip B, and Max. record values.
- Temperature/Fuel Switching: The "Down" button on the external switch switches between temperature and fuel displays.
- Setting Mode: Pressing the "Up" button for 3 seconds on the main screen enters the setting mode.
- Clock Setting: Allows adjustment of time (12H/24H format, hours, minutes).
- Unit Setting: Enables selection of km/h or MPH for speed, and °C or °F for temperature.
- Backlight Brightness: Adjustable from 1/5 (darkest) to 5/5 (brightest).
- Tire Circumference Setting: Critical for accurate speed and distance readings. The manual provides a "learn" mode to automatically calculate circumference or allows manual input.
- Gear Setting: Allows the user to teach the meter the gear positions by riding the motorcycle through each gear.
- RPM Input Pulse Setting: Configurable based on the engine type (e.g., 1 pulse per ignition, 1 pulse per 2 ignitions).
- Fuel Gauge Resistance Setting: Supports various fuel sensor resistance values (100 Ω, 250 Ω, 270 Ω, 390 Ω, 510 Ω, SW, Custom) and offers a "learn" mode for automatic detection. Manual setting of fuel levels is also available.
- Warning Settings:
- Overspeed Warning: Set a speed threshold for an alert.
- Shift Light Warning: Program desired RPMs for shift indications.
- Overheat Warning: Set a temperature threshold for an alert.
- Low Fuel Warning: Set a fuel level threshold for an alert.
- Voltage Warning: Set a voltage threshold for an alert.
- Oil Maintenance Setting: Configurable mileage for oil change reminders.
- Warning Light Setting: Allows selection of which warning lights are active (TEMP, F-Fuel, L-Volt, S-Speed, T-Trip O, T-Gear, S-Flash).
- ABS Warning Setting: Enables or disables the ABS warning light.
- Internal and External ODO Screen: Displays total mileage from both internal and external sources, with options to reset the external ODO.
- Exit Setting: Returns to the main screen from setting mode.
