GB C1DS C2DS C3DS C4DS 1.0 VDO DIGITAL SYTEM Your VDO cycle computer operates on digitally coded, wireless transmission. Different from analogue radio transmission, data is digitally transmitted (data packages step-by-step). With your actual speed varying, the reading will change stepwise. Individual coding of the signals ensures that only data coming from your transmitter is processed. No interference with signals coming from transmitters other than yours.
GB ages are sent after, once the interference is over. Following data is immediately updated when the re-send data is received : trip distance riding time average speed maximum speed odometer Hence, your current data may change erratically after a interference = Update of your computer. After a battery change, a new coding is automatically generated in the transmitter. The computer must learn this new coding. Therefore, you have to activate the manual transmitter search DIGI CONNECT RESET (3.1.

GB 2.1 Installing the batteries in the digital transmitter and the computer >>> P02 C1DS Both, your VDO computer and your VDO transmitter are coming with a 3 V battery (type C2DS 2032). C3DS C4DS A. First install the battery in the digital transmitter Step 1. Place the battery into the transmitter housing, +pole face-up. Step 2. Make sure the battery is not edged over. Step 3. Check if the rubber washer is flatly positioned on the battery door. Step 4.
GB IMPORTANT: On inserting the battery into the transmitter, the coding of the digital signals is automatically generated. The computer is only able to find the coded signal at the initial putting into operation. After a battery change, a new coding is generated in the transmitter. In this case, the computer won’t find the coded signal and a manual transmitter search is required (DIGI CONNECT RESET) – see chapter 3.1. After every start a green LED at the transmitter flashes for 20 sec.
GB 2.2 Mounting transmitter and magnet C1DS C2DS C3DS C4DS >>> P03 important mounting instructions: a) maximum distance transmitter – computer = 150 cm (59 in) b) distance transmitter - magnet: 3 to max 10 mm (up to 0.04 in) c) mount the transmitter on the fork leg, same side where you want the computer to be on the handlebar. (not applicable for stem mounting with optional stem holder).
GB 2.3 Mounting the VDO any-size handlebar holder >>> P04 C1DS C2DS C3DS C4DS C1DS C2DS C3DS C4DS Step 1 Position the holder socket on the handlebar (stem optionally). Step 2 Feed the fixing clamp through the slot below the holder socket, pass the clamp around the handlebar (stem optionally) and tighten it with a little screw driver. Do not overstress, the plastic screw might be damaged. 2.

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. C1DS C2DS C3DS C4DS 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. C1DS C2DS C3DS C4DS 3.1 Manual Transmitter Search – DIGI CONNECT RESET After a battery change, a new coding is automatically generated in the transmitter. The computer must learn this new coding.
GB 4. Basic settings C1DS Basic settings are settings crucial to data measuring and operating the computer. Such as C2DS language, wheel size(s), clock. C3DS C4DS C1DS C2DS C3DS C4DS WATCH OUT: Any SET procedure must be completed (menu question ?SET OK? gets accepted by pushing c). Should a SET procedure not be completed, any data entered is not stored. 4.1 Language selection In case you want to change the language at any time, proceed as described under chapter 3.
GB C1DS C2DS C3DS C4DS 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 >>>P08 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 C1DS C2DS C3DS C4DS 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 C1DS C2DS C3DS C4DS You can set odometers anytime or after a battery change.
GB 4.5 Changing wheel sizes from bike 1 to bike 2 C1DS If you have programmed 2 wheel sizes for 2 bikes you have to adjust your computer C2DS accordingly prior to your trip. C3DS C4DS 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.

During Sleep Mode the major portion of your display is shut down to save battery power. Only the clock, the Service-Interval-Indicator (if applicable) and the TIMER symbol (if activated) are displayed. a.
GB 7. Cadence (optional) C1DS Your VDO computer is prepared for cadence measuring. To make use of these functions, C2DS you need to purchase the optional CADENCE KIT (Articlecode: 4402) at your Bike-Dealer.
