Tire circumference
Tire circumference can be determined by either of the following two methods:
• Measure the actual tire circumference (L)
After ensuring that the tire pressure is appropriate, sit on your
bike, roll it forward so that the tire makes one full revolution (use
the valve or other marking as a reference), and measure the dis-
tance traveled on the road. L cm

Appendix 1
Warning / Caution
• Do not concentrate on the computer while riding. Always ride safely.
• Mount the magnet, sensor, and bracket securely, and check them periodically to en-
sure that they are not loose.
• If a battery is swallowed accidentally, consult a doctor immediately.
• Do not leave the computer in direct sunlight for a long period of time.
• Do not disassemble the computer. 2
• Do not drop the computer. Doing so may result in malfunction or damage.
• When cleaning the computer and accessories, do not use thinners, benzine, or alcohol.
• Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type.
Dispose of used batteries according to local regulations.
• The LCD screen may be distorted when viewed through polarized sunglass lenses.

Wireless Sensor
The speed sensor is designed with a maximum signal range of 70 cm (27”), to reduce the
chance of interference. (The signal range is intended to serve as a rough guide only.) 3
When handling the wireless sensor, note the following:
• Signals cannot be received if the distance between the speed sensor and the computer
is too large.
• Signal range may be shortened due to low temperature and flat batteries.
• Signals can be received only when the back of the computer is facing the speed sensor.
Interference may occur, resulting in malfunction, if the computer is:
• Near a TV, PC, radio, or motor, or in a car or train.
• Close to a railroad crossing, railway tracks, TV transmitter station, or radar station. 4
• Used with other wireless devices or certain battery-powered lights.
SET
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two condi-
tions:(1)This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interfer-
ence received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Modifications
The FCC requires the user to be notified that any changes or modifications made to this device that are
not expressly approved by CatEye Co., Ltd. May void the user ’s authority to operate the equipment.

Hereby, CATEYE Co., Ltd., declares that this CC-VT235W is in compliance with the essential requirements
Appendix

and other relevant provisions of Directive 1999/5/EC.

Maintenance
If the computer or accessories become dirty, clean with a soft cloth which is moistened
with mild soap.

Replacing the battery

• Computer
When the display becomes dim, replace the battery. Close C

2
O IN
Insert a new lithium battery (CR2032) with the (+) side up.
* After replacing the battery, always follow the procedure Open CR2032
described in “Setting up the computer” (page 5).
* If you make a note of the total distance value before replac-
ing the battery, you will be able to continue from the same
total distance by entering it after replacing the battery.

• Speed sensor
When the speed is not displayed even after adjusting cor-
rectly, it is time to replace the battery.
Insert a new lithium battery (CR2032) with the (+) side up CR2032
and close the battery cover firmly. 3
* After replacing the battery, adjust the position of the Close
magnet relative to the speed sensor as described in IN
CO

“Mounting the computer” (page 4) step 4. Open

Troubleshooting
The sensor signal reception icon does not flash. (Speed is not displayed.)
•
Is there too much clearance between the speed sensor and the magnet?
(Clearance should be within 5 mm (3/16”).)
• Does the magnet pass through the sensor zone correctly? 4
Adjust the position of the magnet and/or the speed sensor.
• Is the computer mounted at the correct angle?
Ensure that the back of the computer faces the speed sensor.
• Are the computer and the speed sensor mounted at the correct distance apart? SET
(Clearance should be from 20 to 70 cm (8” to 27”).)
Ensure that the speed sensor is within range.
• Is the computer or speed sensor battery flat?
* Battery performance diminishes in winter.
If the computer reacts only when it is close to the speed sensor, the problem may be
due to weak batteries.
Appendix

Replace the batteries with new ones as described in “Replacing the battery”.
The display remains blank when the button is pressed.
Replace the computer battery as described in “Replacing the battery”.
Incorrect data appear.
