E Bike - VDO Cyclecomputing R5 GPS Handbuch

Connection to external sensors
To establish a connection with a sensor, the sensor must be within radio range (a maximum of approx. 10 m away). In addition, the sensor must be activated or switched on.
How to mount the supplied sensors (only available in the SET or as an accessory) is described in the
If you have not yet connected any sensors, select the menu item Sensors and Search for new sensors. The R5 GPS then searches for all available sensors.
If sensors are found, a list with all newly found sensors appears. Navigate through the list with +/- and select the desired sensor. For ANT + sensors you will see
the sensor ID in the list, for BLE sensors the name of the sensor appears.
The following symbols stand for the different sensor types:

Heart Rate
To pair a sensor with the R5 GPS, select the sensor in the list and press the START button. The pairing starts immediately and you will receive a message about the status of
the pairing. If an error message is displayed, please check the requirements described again.
If you have already connected sensors, you can add new sensors as well as view and manage the existing sensors by selecting Connection > Sensors.
In the list of connected sensors you can also see the battery status of the sensor. If you want to disconnect the sensor, press the START button and follow the instructions
on the display.
During training, you will receive a short message when a sensor has been connected or the connection to a sensor is lost. If a sensor is not found, the "- -" symbol appears
after 5 minutes instead of the value (e.g. cadence). Then please check whether the sensor is within range and switched on. If you would like to connect a sensor to the
device at a later point in time, open the quick menu by pressing START for a long time (in the started training). Then select Search sensors. The R5 GPS then briefly
disconnects all connections and reconnects the sensors.
In order to be able to view the data from the sensors during training, remember to adapt the training views accordingly.
E-Bike
To connect an e-bike to the R5 GPS, select the E-bike menu item in the connection settings. If there is currently no e-bike paired with the R5 GPS, the R5 GPS
immediately searches for available e-bikes.
For pairing, the e-bike must be nearby (maximum approx. 10 m away) and switched on. Please refer to the operating instructions for your e-bike to find out whether further
steps are required on the e-bike side to connect the e-bike to a display.
Only ONE e-bike can be connected to the R5 GPS at a time.
If compatible e-bikes are found, a list of the e-bikes found is displayed after the search. Select the desired e-bike (+/- button) and start pairing with the START button.
If the pairing is successful, you will be taken to the information view of the e-bike. You can also reach this when you select the menu item with a paired e-bike
Select E-Bike in the connection settings. Here you can see various information about the e-bike and can disconnect the connection between the R5 GPS and the e-bike.
To do this, press the START button in the e-bike overview.
