Question by Lewie Bum Bum: How do you turn of this damn cycling computer?
I brought a new blackburn delphi 4.0 cycling computer, doesn’t say how to turn it off. it goes into sleep mode after about 30 mins, and then i left it for 3 hours and still doesn’t. When i take out the batteries, the settings all re-set…
Any help please?

I have never seen a bike computer that you can turn off. The older ones I’ve had just stayed at the last setting they were on. I have a specialized computer that has been in my bike parts drawer that shows 0 MPH and the odometer setting when I took it off the bike 3 or 4 years ago. My new ones seem to just switch to a time clock until the wheel spins again and they wake up. As this one is a wireless it probably has an algorithm to check for radio signals so it is never really totally off. I wouldn’t worry about it unless you are eating batteries every few months. I think most wireless computers are good for about a year with their batteries.

The sleep mode is as close as you will get to turning off your computer. I don’t understand why you would want to unless it is to save the battery, which is not necessary, the battery will last quite a long time anyway. Think of the computer as a watch, with a few added functions. Would you want to turn your wristwatch off?
