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. That information is on this page if the brand name begins with C through T, except for Cateye, which got its own page.
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.

Manual

Ciclomaster computers have an unusual feature. They incorporate a small capacitor to maintain short-term memory while the battery is being changed, so if you are reasonably quick about it you can change the battery without losing the calibration, and even maintain the stored odometer mileage.

This computer is integrated with special Shimano brake/shift levers with control buttons and so it shows the gear in use -- a clever idea with problems in execution: for one thing, the computer only works with those levers. For another, it is posssible unintentionally to delete trip data by pressing the on-off button on the left brake hood. This problem can be addressed by placing a washer around the button so it can't be pressed accidentally. Then it is necessary to peel back the rubber hood and depress the button with a pen tip or the like.
