It may take 30-60 seconds to locate satellite signals. 3 Select an option: • If the handlebar diameter is 25.4 mm, place the thicker pad around the handlebar. • If the handlebar diameter is 31.8 mm, place the thinner pad around the handlebar. • If the handlebar diameter is 35 mm, do not use a rubber pad. 4 Place the handlebar connector around the handlebar, so that the mount arm is above the bike stem. 5 Use the 3 mm hex key to loosen the screw on the mount arm, position the mount arm, and tighten the screw.
