14.6 External mileage counter

The external mileage counter offers a speedometer, a trip mileage counter, a total mileage counter and a clock.
Whenever the display shows m/h in the upper left corner, the speedometer is activated. With the yellow key,
users can switch back and forth between trip mileage counter, total mileage counter and clock display. Three
flashing arrows on the left side of the display indicate that the trip mileage counter is displayed. Pressing the
yellow key for longer than two seconds will set the trip mileage back to zero. Pressing the yellow key shortly will
switch to the total mileage counter. Pressing the key again will display the clock. To set the time, hold the key
pressed and let go once the display begins to alternatingly show 12: and 24:. Pressing the key again when the
display shows 24: will program the clock to show a 24-hour display. Pressing the key when the display shows
12: will result in a 12-hour display. The display then shows the time digits which advance automatically one after
the other. To set the time, the user then presses the key when the desired digits are shown on the display.
Users can also switch from a mileage to kilometer display by pressing the yellow key for more than 2 seconds
while in the total mileage counter mode. When switching from miles to kilometers, the wheel circumference must
be accordingly entered in metric measurements. The conversion from inches to centimeters, and the calculation
of circumference on the basis of diameter, is done as follows:
