Congratulations on your purchase!
With the CUBE Race you have acquired a wireless electronic bike computer with state of the art electronics,
the highest level of precision and it is weatherproof. As special features the Race has an optional cadence
measurement and an optional heart rate measurement (for this you need separately available accessories ).
The Two in One-System: this allows you to use this cycle computer for two different bicycles and view the
combined total values.
Please read this operating manual carefully.
Lieferumfang:
- CUBE Race
- battery type CR 2032
- battery cap
- handlebar bracket
- transmitter
- cable ties for mounting
- spoke magnet

1. Mounting
The handlebar bracket can be mounted on the handlebar and
also on the stem.
Picture A: Mounting is possible on handlebar (Position A-1) or
stem (Position A-2).
Picture B: For using it on the stem, change bracket mounting
orientation from Position A to Position B.
Remove the protective tape.
A2
Place the handle bar and fasten it with the cable ties.
Picture C: Mount the transmitter with cable ties on the fork
(max. distance to the handlebar bracket max. 60 cm; best
mounting on the right side, handlebar bracket and transmitter
should be on the same side).
Picture D: Fix the magnet on a spoke so that it will face the
mark on the transmitter. Adjust the magnet position and fine
tune the sensor if necessary (distance between transmitter and
magnet max. 3 mm).
Picture E: Rotate the Race to 45 degree left and install it into
B
the bracket. Then rotate it 45 degrees right to lock it. To unlock,
rotate 45 degrees to the left.
1.1 Mounting of optional cadenceset
(separately available)
Mount the handlebar as described above on the handlebar or on
the stem.
Place the sensor on the cable on the left chain-brace in height
of the crank with help of cable-ties so that it is still loose enough
to be lined up. Mount the cadence-magnet (with help of a cable
tie) on the inside of the crank. The distance between magnet and
sensor should be max. 3 mm.
The magnets must point directly to the mark on the sensor. Now
90ϒ
switch on the cadence measuring in the setting mode of the
Race (see chap. 2.1). Turn crank a few times to check if the
mounting is correct. Now tighten the cable-ties.
1.2 Putting on the heart rate transmission belt
Warning: whoever carries out sport should have a general
medical check up on his/her general state of health - especially
beginners, persons older than 35 years of age and anyone who
has suffered from illnesses or injuries in the past. It is recom-
mended that a doctor be consulted in any case in the presence
of risk factors, such as smoking, high blood pressure, high
cholesterol values, diabetes, lack of exercise and excess weight.
Pacemaker wearers should consult their doctor before
using any heart rate measurement device!
The transmitter belt is hung in the elastic chest belt and fastened
around the upper body. The transmitter (plastic part with the
CUBE-logo) should lie over the middle of the upper stomach,
immediately below the breastbone, so that the logo on the
transmitter is legible (viewed from the front) (see illustration). The
electrodes in the belt, to the right and left of the transmitter, must
be in contact with the skin.
C
Pull the belt tight so that it cannot slip and constant contact with
the body is guaranteed during movement.
If the Race fails to display any heart rate, it probably means
that there is no contact between the skin and the electrodes.
Moistening the electrodes and the underlying skin often helps.
Best results are obtained if electrode gel is used (available from
pharmacies).
Measurement of the heart rate is only possible if the transmitter
belt is fitted correctly and the Race is within the transmitter's
reception range (max. 60 cm).

2. Preparation
Inserting the battery
Insert battery type CR2032 with plus-pole facing up. Close

(If nothing or incomprehensible signs appear in the display, press
the AC-button on the rear of the computer with help of a ballpoint
pen or a similar object. Attention: this will delete all values and
setting).

What does CUBEInZone
It calculates the optimum training zone for effort, resistance and
weight loss.
The values vary from person to person and they offer a valid
training support – always staying between 70 % and 85 % of the

rate when at rest and the level of training).

5 . Battery change
Race: Open battery cap with a coin (unscrew to the left). Insert
battery type CR2032 (please use battery with smooth minus-
pole) with plus-pole facing up. Close battery cap, being sure not
to over tighten. After inserting the battery the display will show
normal mode.
If nothing or incomprehensible signs appear in the display, press
the AC-button on the rear of the computer with help of a ballpoint
pen or a similar object. Attention: this will delete all values and
setting.
(Battery change in the optional chest belt works in the same
way.)
Transmitter: Open battery cap at the top of the transmitter with
a coin (unscrew to the left), remove old battery and insert new
12 V battery, type 23A (with pluspole facing up). Close battery
cap, being sure not to over tighten.
Please do not throw away battery in your normal garbage.
