Battery Replacing in Cateye CC-6000

[George]

How do I replace the battery in a Cateye CC-6000 cyclocomputer? I have removed the round, plastic
disk in the back; I can see the old battery; but I am still not sure how to get it out. Do I need a
dental probe?

If it's like the CC-HB100 Cateye (and it sounds like it is), you're close to the truth. I picked my
battery out with a small (think large jeweler's size) screwdriver.

An unbent paperclip should be small and sturdy enough to do it in a pinch,

OK. That worked. Now, do I have to recalibrate? Even if don't have to recalibrate now, can somehone
tell me how to do this in case I change wheel size.

Tap the open computer on something hard, battery side down. The battery will fall out.

Must we do everything for you?

Instructions for resetting the wheel size etc. on your computer. Note, however, that the settings
usually will be retained if you do the battery swap quickly (say, 30 seconds or so).

BTW, I have the complete CC-6000 manual (English pages) in .jpg form. If you need a copy I can email

Hey, no problem. I shouldn't really give you a hard time about posting here. It is the perogative of
any Usenet reader is to ignore posts .
