Current speed, cadence, and heart rate values are flashing
If using a CATEYE sensor, measurement values start flashing to indicate that there is little remaining battery power in the relevant sensor.
Replace the battery for the relevant sensor.
Why are power values flashing on and off?
When using separate left and right power sensors, power values flash on and off to indicate that only signals from one sensor are being received.
Check the power sensor.
Why are speed values strange?
If you are not using a sensor that is capable of measuring speed, smart computer uses your smartphone's GPS for measurement, so depending on reception conditions (for example, if you are in a tunnel), measurement may be interrupted or smart computer may indicate values other than actual values.
