WANTED: Aldi BIKEmate f20 manual

[Dave P.]

Hi All,

Would someone please email me instructions/manual to the BIKEmate
20-function wireless computer that Aldi sells (or has sold)?

My in-laws bought me a couple of them when they were in Germany, but
it came with German instructions...

While I have your attention, does anyone know if two of these
computers on separate bikes will get their signals confused if the
bikes get too close to each other?

One last thing, why are these computers so cheap?

Thx,

-Dave

Yes - if the HRM gets closer than 30cm to the computer, the
heart-pulse signals get counted as distance measures, as well as heart
pulses.

I continue to use my wired computer for time/speed/distance.

Another point to note - you cannot reset the average heart-rate
measurement if you're wearing the HRM at the time.

You need to walk away from the unit, so it doesn't receive the
heart-rate signal any more, and then get someone else to reset it, or
take the HRM off your chest to do it yourself.

As long as the transmitter on one bike stays 60cm or more away from
the receiver on the second bike, you'll be okay.
