GENERAL 1.2 IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE DIGITAL WIRELESS SYSTEM Your VDO series Z works entirely without cable; it works with triple digital wireless transmission based on well-established ANT+Sport® wireless protocol. The ANT+Sport® wireless protocol has already been successfully implemented by manufacturers such as Garmin, Specialized, and Suunto. Speed signals, cadence signals (optional), as well as heart rate data are transmitted to the respective receiver (computer) as digital and coded signals. Signal coding ensures that only the data of your own pulse, speed, and cadence (optional) transmitters are processed (this is advantageous when riding in a group). The ANT+Sport digital technology is significantly more reliable than the technology of older analog systems. The ANT+Sport technology uses standard industrial wireless components, and it can best be compared to the technology used in modern WLAN networks. The connection between transmitter and receiver is more stable, and subject to significantly less frequent malfunction, and it is virtually completely safeguarded from data loss. The speed transmitter has a memory component that buffers data every 65 sec. Thus no data is lost if there is a malfunction lasting for this duration.After the malfunction this data will be resent to the computer. Subsequently the following data will be updated: Daily distance Ride time Average speed Navigator Total distance Total ride time After a malfunction the data can change suddenly = updating the computer. Initial operation of a completely digital system requires somewhat more care than does initial operation of conventional analog systems. The first time batteries are inserted, or after a battery change, the transmitter automatically generates a new code. The computer has to learn this code. To do this you must execute a DIG CONNECT SET. Strictly follow the instructions in chapter 3.3 to do this. ATTENTION: Your VDO computer is not suitable for use on motorcycles. 1.3 CONTROL SYSTEM - OPERATION The control system of your computer is based on dual assignment of the 4 main buttons. In this regard the devices distinguishes between operation mode and setting mode. 7 EN 1.3.1. OPERATION MODE - use this mode to display all information Button assignment is shown on the housing.

THE DISPLAY The display of your VDO computer is comprised of three large areas. The following information is displayed in operation mode: *If the computer is worn as a sport watch then the temperature can be falsified by body warmth. Header - Actual altitude - Actual temperature - Actual ascending gradient/ descending gradient 3. Footer: DOT matrix full-text - display of the selected/displayed function - In setting mode menu prompting (chapter 5-11) provides information about what is shown in the display. MIDDLE BAR - Actual heart rate - Actual speed - Heart icon for signal reception of chest belt transmitter - Alarm icon when leaving the target heart rate range - Timing indicator for ongoing timing function - Indicator for set alarm/alarm clock - LAP recording indicator - Walk mode indicator - Selection indicator bike 1 / bike 2 - DATA Recording - icon for ongoing Data Recording - Arrow indicators for comparing the actual speed to the average speed - Service interval icon indicates that bike is due for service 10 INSTRUCTION MANUAL 1.5.
