Our Cyclecomputer database is your starting point when looking for information on cyclecomputers. It links to owner's manuals for most cyclecomputers. Sometimes we had to work without a manual, or have additional information. It's on this page if the brand name begins with an A or B.
Look for similarities in appearance and function when trying instructions for a computer not on our list. Many bicycle computers are rebranded. Please let us know of rebranded models which you have identified.
Old versions of manufacturers' Web sites preserved on the Internet Archive may list older models. A Web search on the make and model, plus "manual" or "instructions" sometimes turns up information posted by an owner. If you have information on a model not covered here, please send it in.

50 manual
-
Battery: two 386 silver oxide 1.5 volt.

-
When installing batteries in the Cyclometer 50 use this special double insert procedure:
-
Insert both batteries.
-
Remove one battery and leave it out for 15 seconds.
-
Reinsert the battery you removed. The unit will then go into calibration mode.
-
To reach setup with a battery already in the unit, press and hold down both buttons 5 to 8 seconds. After all display segments show briefly the unit goes into setup. Move through the 5 setup functions by pressing the right button.
-
Choose or English and metric units with the left button.
-
In wheel size calibration, the default of 83.45 (English) or 2120 (metric) shows, and an arrow to the right of the numbers points up then down. Pressing or holding the left button increases or decreases the numbers according to the arrow direction.
-
Choose whether trip climb or descent will be recorded by pressing the left button.
-
Choose whether cadence will be displayed in the speed function by pressing the left button.
-
Set the clock by first advancing the hours with the left button. Press the right button, then advance the minutes with the left button.
This unit doesn't store distance data, but counts revolutions. Accumulated data will change if wheel calibration is changed. Changing from miles to km will yield correct distances in the units concerned.
