Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the CATEYE V3.

The V3 is a high-performance computer for riders who wish to train extensively and

analyze their data.

2.4GHz-frequency digital wireless technology, which is the same technology used for

wireless LAN, is used for both the speed/cadence integrated speed sensor and the heart

rate sensor. This technology practically eliminates interference from external noise and

cross-talk with other wireless computer users, providing you with stress-free riding.

Read this instruction manual thoroughly and understand the functions of the computer

before using it.

Keep it in a safe place for future reference.

How to install the unit on your bicycle ENG 1. Attach the bracket to the stem or handlebar 2. Mount the speed sensor and magnet The Flex Tight ™ bracket can be attached to either the stem or the handlebar depending on how the bracket and band are configured. Wheel magnet Speed sensor Caution: Tighten the dial on the bracket band by hand only. Over-tightening can damage the screw threads.
PAGE 5
Heart rate sensor ENG Heart rate is measured when the heart rate sensor is worn on the chest. 2-3. Adjust the distance to the magnet 1. Adjust the distance between the wheel magnet and the SPEED side of the speed sensor to be about 3 mm. After adjustment, tighten the setscrew on the SPEED side. 2.

Basic operation of the computer Starting/Stopping the measurement The measurement screen displays 4 different types of data, which are switched by pressing the M1/+ and M2/- buttons. The display data are as follows. Initially, the unit starts or stops measurement automatically in sync with the bicycle motion. This is called auto-mode function. “km/h” or “mph” flashes during measurement.
PAGE 10
Measurement screen Lower display data Displays the elapsed time from the start of measurement to the 1/10 second. When it exceeds 99:59’59”, it repeats from 00’00”0. * When the elapsed time reaches 1 hour, the 1/10 second is not displayed. 1 Current speed 1 Displays the current speed. Updated every second. M2/- Trip distance 2 Heart rate Displays the trip distance from the start of measurement. Displays the heart rate in real time. Updated every second.
