GB 2.6 The VDO EMC-operating system EMC = Easy Menu Control EMC eases operating the computer by a full text menu control well known from most cellular phones. 4 keys combined with the 4-line display provide comfortable and user-friendly operation. Menu indicators will always show further menu options by flashing. In fact, you do not need the manual any more form here. Your VDO computer leads you step by step through all the menus.

GB General hint to read the following chapters: In the following you will often see this icon. Whenever you see this icon, use the UP/DOWN keys to find the relevant menu option and accept it by pushing the M-key. C1 C2 C3 C4 3. Initial operation, AC-(“Auto clear”)-button >>> P06 After installing the battery, your VDO computer brings up an English main menu. Select your language to begin with.
GB Should your computer not function properly after installing the battery or you want to reset it to default values, push the AC-button on the rear of the housing. C1 C2 C3 C4 C1 C2 C3 C4 4. Basic settings Basic settings are settings crucial to data measuring and operating the computer. Such as language, wheel size(s), clock. WATCH OUT: Any SET procedure must be completed (menu question ?SET OK? gets accepted by pushing M). Should a SET procedure not be completed, any data entered is not stored. 4.
GB C1 C2 C3 C4 4.2 Measuring and setting the wheel size(s) >>> P07 In order for your VDO computer to precisely calculate speed and distance, you have to measure the circumference of your wheels With an incorrect wheel size set, all related values like speed, trip distance, odometer etc. come out false. To make the use of your VDO computers possible on 2 bikes, i.e. Mountain Bike and Road Bike, you are able to set up 2 different wheel sizes.
GB If you have selected the Metric system (KM) you have to enter your wheel size/s in millimeters. If you have selected English system (MI) you have to enter your wheel size/s in inches. TIP: Write down your wheel sizes on your VDO-User-Card for easy reference. The values listed in the chart are approximate. Depending on the tire brand, it is possible that these numbers deviate from your real tire circumference since height and tread pattern are likely to be different.
GB If applicable, enter wheel size 2 as described above If you don’t need to enter the second wheel size, hold the b key until the computer returns to main menu TRIPDISTANCE/SETTINGS. Watch out: Default settings for the wheel sizes are as follows: Bike 1 = 2155 mm and Bike 2 = 2000 mm. In case you don’t set your individual wheel sizes, the computer works with default values. Readings for speed therefore are likely to deviate significantly from the actual values.
GB 4.3 Setting the clock C1 C2 C3 C4 a c “TRIPDISTANCE / SETTINGS” a c “CLOCK / SET” a c “CLOCK 24-H-DISPLAY” or “CLOCK 12-H-DISPLAY” <<flashing numbers>> are ready to be set: a set hours c “?CONTINUE?” for minutes a c set minutes c “?SET OK?” accept (or b to return and correct entries) Your VDO-Computer automatically returns to main menu TRIPDISTANCE/SETTINGS.
GB 4.4 Setting the odometers C1 C2 C3 C4 You can set odometers anytime or after a battery change. Note the odometer readings for bike 1 and 2 before changing the battery a c “TRIPDISTANCE/SETTINGS” a c “ODOMETER / SET” a c “ODO BIKE 1 / SET” or “ODO BIKE 2 / SET” <<flashing numbers>> are ready to be set a set value c “?NEXT DIGIT?” After you have set the last number on the left = first of your value c “?SET OK?” accept “SET DONE” Your VDO-Computer automatically returns to main menu TRIPDISTANCE/SETTINGS.
GB C1 C2 C3 C4 4.5 Changing wheel sizes from bike 1 to bike 2 If you have programmed 2 wheel sizes for 2 bikes you have to adjust your computer accordingly prior to your trip. a c a c a c c „TRIPDISTANCE/SETTINGS“ „WHEELSIZE/SELECT“, accepted by c „WHEELSIZE 1“ or „WHEELSIZE 2” accept / select Change of wheel size is confirmed by WHEELSIZE 1-2 DONE.
GB C1 C2 C3 C4 4.6 Reset functions To reset / delete certain or all tour data a c “TRIPDISTANCE/SETTINGS” a c “DATA / RESET” a “TOUR DATA / RESET” or “ODO TOTAL / RESET” or “TOT RIDE TM / RESET” (only C3, C4) c accept / select “RESET” Safety check back: Are you sure you want to reset? c accepts “?RESET?” and deletes NOTE: Accepting the reset by pressing c deletes the respective data. This step can not be made undone.
GB Following data is deleted by these corresponding reset modes: TOUR DATA RESET: trip distance, ride time, average speed, maximum speed. ODO TOTAL RESET: odo total, km/mi bike 1, km/mi bike 2 TOT RID TM RESET: total ride time, ride time bike 1, ride time bike 2 (C3, C4) C1 C2 C3 C4 5.

Starting Stopwatch Select STOPWATCH in your information display: a “STOPWATCH /START” c “START” / “STOP” Indicator Symbol << >> Resetting Stopwatch: a STOPWATCH select the appropriate menu. c Hold for 3 seconds After 3 seconds the STOPWATCH is reset to zero.
GB 8. NAVIGATOR functions C3 C4 Your VDO computer features a NAVIGATOR function that makes it possible to follow route (Road-Book) instructions. Road-books are trip maps outlining mileage values based on certain landmarks. Your VDO-Navigator is a further independent trip counter, it either counts forward or backwards. Mileage can be set at any point of the trip. You might as well get in on a trip or adjust your mileage in case you have gotten lost.
GB c “?NEXT DIGIT?” accept or return by b continue with next digit or correct previous entry b At the end of the set procedure you will be asked c “?SET OK?” accept “SET DONE” appears briefly and your VDO-Computer automatically returns to main menu TRIPDISTANCE/SETTINGS. Note: the NAVIGATOR is always counting, even if you don’t set it. Reset NAVIGATOR to zero.
GB C4 9. Timing functions Your VDO-Computer features 5 individual timing functions. With any of the functions selected the TIMING indicator << >> is activated in the upper left part of the display. Set-/measuring range for all timing functions: 0:00:00 h to 24:00:00 h TIMER 1: You can program a time window, i.e. for interval training. TIMER 1 counts on from zero. A single beep indicates the end of TIMER 1. TIMER 2: You can program another time window, i.e.
GB COUNTDOWN: You can program a time window from which is counted backwards. A single beep indicates the end of the COUNTDOWN timer. Only with COUNTDOWN selected and started you have access to additional functions MORE in AVG SPEED menu. See also 9.4. STOPWATCH: manual stop watch to measure riding time of certain trip sections.

Hold for 3 seconds After 3 seconds the TIMER is reset to zero or the COUNTDOWN is reset to the previously programmed START time. Check back COUNTDOWN With COUNTDOWN-time elapsed an automatic check back appears: ?RESET?. If you accept this by pressing c, the previously programmed COUNTDOWN time is displayed. The COUNTDOWN is now ready to be started again. C4 9.
GB a c “AVG SPEED/MORE” a “FORECAST KM or MI” b “REMAIN KM or MI” Note: The forecasted km/mi reflect your computers projection for the distance you accomplish at the end of your countdown time. This information is determined by your actual average speed during the countdown time period. Respective data is updated every 10 seconds. Remaining km/mi is your estiamted distance left in the remaining countdown time. Here also, respective data is updated every 10 seconds.
