FlightDeck - adjust miles to km

Have got model SC6501. Trying to change to/from miles and km without total reset, ODO etc. Manual
suggests this can be done by pressing button B for 5 secs. Well, first setting I get is "No. 1" to
"No. 4" - which are undocumented but presumably allow different settings for several bikes - then
circumference settings, sprockets etc. No mention of miles/km.

Any ideas? TIA.

See page 18 in your manual - Chapter 8 "data input"

start by pushing "all clear"
you can re-enter your odometer data when you're done.

different bike setting are described in Chapter 4 on page 14

Er, my manual says you can change from miles to km without reboot. Never mind, Alan Hoyle emailed to
say I'd got the wrong manual and he was spot on. The correct manual can be found at

Thanks, Alan.

Dear Hunter,

And thanks to you for the priceless gift of the perfect response to RTFM. How often have we all
RTFM, only to find that it was the wrong FM to read or that the right FM was wrong.

No page that claims to be intentionally blank can possibly be telling the truth.

No problem. I'd meant to post that instead of just emailing. I had the same problem: my bike shop
gave me the manual for the 6500 model, not the 6501 model. They apparently weren't aware of the
difference. Fortunately, they've been on the ball about everything else.
