3. Cadence Magnet Installation
Attach the cadence magnet to the inside of your left crank arm. Position it so that it passes directly by the sensor arm of the cadence transmitter with each pedal revolution. The optimal distance between the magnet and the sensor arm is approximately 5mm. For reliable wireless transmission, ensure the distance between the cadence transmitter and your VDO cycle computer (M5 or M6) does not exceed 55cm.
