Installing the Bike Mount:

1. Place the bike mount on the stem or handlebar of your bicycle with the rubber side down.
2. Attach the bike mount securely using the two rubber bands.
3. Place the Blade in the mounting grooves and turn clockwise until it locks in place. To remove, turn counterclockwise or clockwise and lift.
   NOTE:
   • Lock the mount firmly with two suitable rubber bands according to the size of the stem and handlebar.
   • Two rubber bands fix the bracket diagonally.
   • The triangle symbol in front must point in the direction of travel.

Installing the F-mount:

1. Begin by removing the screw with the allen key from the F-mount.
2. Select a suitable thickness of silicone pad into fixed ring of the mount.
3. Place the F-mount and silicone pad around the handlebar.
4. Replace and tighten the screw.
5. Place the Blade in the mounting grooves and turn clockwise until it locks in place. To remove, turn counterclockwise or clockwise and lift.
   NOTE : The F-mount double-sided available.

Installing the Speed and Cadence Sensor (C3)

• NOTE : The battery insulator sheet needs to be removed for the first use in order to activate the sensor.

  1. Use a coin to twist the cover counter-clockwise until it is loose enough to remove (the arrow points to unlocked).
  2. Remove the cover, the battery and blue battery insulator sheet.
  3. Insert the battery with the positive side facing up. Use a coin to twist the cover clockwise back into place.

**Mounting the Speed and Cadence Sensor

**

1. Place the sensor on the rear chain stay of your bike, near the pedal. The logo should be facing up and the arm of the sensor should be inside the rear chain stay, facing down.

2. Loosen the sensor arm screw using a phillips screwdriver to move it into the correct position.

3. Secure the sensor in place with the provided rubber band or nylon ties, whichever is preferred. If using nylon ties, do not completely tighten yet, as the magnets still need to be aligned before completely securing the sensor in place. We recommend using the nylon ties for the most secure connection.

4. Attach the magnet:

5. Cadence magnet:
   A. Remove white liner on the back of cadence magnet and place the pedal magnet onto the crank, magnet facing in towards the sensor.
   B. Align so that the magnet will pass by the indicator sensing area on the body of the MEILAN C3 sensor.
   C. The magnet will have to within 0.79 inch (about 2cm) to get a reading.
   D. Attach the pedal magnet to the crank arm using two nylon ties. As such, adjust the position of the sensor if required.

6. Wheel magnet:
   A. Screw the wheel magnet onto any spoke on your back wheel, facing in towards the sensor.
   B. Align so that the magnet will pass by the indicator line on the arm of the MEILAN C3 sensor.
   C. The magnet will have to pass within 0.79 inch (about 2cm) to get a reading.
   D. Once again, adjust the position of the sensor and/or magnet if required. Tighten the magnet in place on the spoke.
   E. Once satisfied with the magnet positioning and tighten.
