7. USING A NEW ACCESSORY
A new sensor purchased as a separate accessory has to be introduced to the cycling computer. This is
called teaching and takes only a few seconds. Teaching ensures that your cycling computer receives
signals from your sensor only, enabling disturbance-free exercise in a group. If you have purchased the
sensor and the cycling computer as a set, the sensor has already been “taught” to work together with the
cycling computer. You just need to activate the sensor in your cycling computer.
