Subject: Need Instructions for Schwinn Bike Computer
I got a "Schwinn Bike Pedometer & Computer" from Amazon:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000DZBKB0/002-4904192-0577606

and promptly lost the instructions, which went into a
"safe place," never to be located again. It's a pretty
complicated device.

I e-mailed Schwinn customer support, but it apparently no
longer answers customer mail.

Anyone have one of these, or know where I might get a .PDF
or something like that of the instructions?

Thanks for any help on this!

I am looking at mine, which I purchased just before Schwinn went poof
and it only has 2 buttons on it. I have the instructions but they are
buried somewhere under my electronics (work) magazines. I do know that
all programming is done with the 2 front buttons and there is no reset
on the back. Holding down both buttons for about 2-3 seconds will do a
reset in case you mess something up. This was a $10 impulse buy at
Wal-t about 15 months ago and it has no kings except for Shwinn on
2 places. It has a big display for the speed and a smaller set of
numbers for the ODO, time, etc on the bottom.
If this sounds like yours, post back and I will see if I can find and
scan the instructions. I would probably have to e-mail the jpg file
directly to you since this is not a binary group.
Good luck.

I believe that is the same piece sold, in both wired and wireless
forms, under a variety of different names, including Ascent (Delta V
wireless, available through Nashbar and Performance) and Bell (wired,
available at Wal-t). The styling/color varies, but not the
functions. Check their website for instructions.

Most bike computers aren't actually all that complicated. There's usually a
reset (sometimes called AC for "all clear") button on the back. Push that
and then figure out which of the buttons changes the function and which
changes the setting for that function. You generally proceed to the next
settable function by either holding one of the buttons down for several
seconds, or there might be a "set" button on the back.
