Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the CATEYE V3.
The V3 is a high-performance computer for riders who wish to train extensively and
analyze their data.
2.4GHz-frequency digital wireless technology, which is the same technology used for
wireless LAN, is used for both the speed/cadence integrated speed sensor and the heart
rate sensor. This technology practically eliminates interference from external noise and
cross-talk with other wireless computer users, providing you with stress-free riding.
