...the cycling computer does not measure the calories?
In order to measure the calories you burn, you need to wear the 
transmitter during recording. 
...the 
heart rate
, speed or distance reading becomes erratic or 
extremely high?
Strong electromagnetic signals can cause erratic readings. So move 
away from possible sources of disturbance such as high-voltage 
power lines, traffi c lights, electric railways or trams, car motors, 
bike computers, some motor-driven exercise equipment (like fi tness 
testers) or cellular phones.
If the erratic heart rate reading continues after you have moved 
away from the source of disturbance, slow down your speed and 
check your pulse manually. If you feel it corresponds to the high 
reading on the display, you may be experiencing cardiac arrhythmia. 
Most cases of arrhythmia are not serious, but consult your doctor 
nevertheless. 
To avoid crosstalk from another cyclist with a speed sensor, keep a 
distance of at least one meter/ 3’4’’ between your cycling computer 
and the speed sensor of the other cyclist.
...there is no heart rate reading (00)?
•  Check that the electrodes of the transmitter are moistened and  
 
that you are wearing it as instructed.
•  Make sure the transmitter is clean.
•  Check that you are not near high voltage power lines, 
 
televisions, cellular phones, or other sources of electromagnetic  
 
interference. Also make sure that you are not near (1 m/3 ft)  
 
other heart rate monitor users, when starting your exercise  
 recording.
•  Cardiac arrhythmia may cause irregular readings or a cardiac  
 
event may have altered your ECG waveform. In these cases,  
 
consult your physician.
...there is no speed reading while cycling?
•  Check the correct position and distance of the sensor with the  
 
magnet and the cycling computer.
•  Check that you have set the correct cycling settings in your  
 
cycling computer. For further information, see page 39.
•  If the 00 reading appears irregularly, this may be due to 
 
temporary electromagnetic interference in your current 
 surroundings.
•  If the 00 reading is constant, you may have exceeded 
 
4500 riding hours and the battery is empty.
