Checked the manual and found a web address:
http://www.bellbikestuff.com
It's a "coming soon" page that according to the Wayback Machine, has been there since at least March of 2010.
Now that's a serious lack of concern for the customer.
I had a Bell wireless computer that would go wonky with a headlight too. It would also react to the inductive loops at traffic lights.
No, computer, I am NOT going 60 miles/hour. I am sitting still, waiting for the light to change!
Other than that, it worked well enough. But that behavior was throwing off my average speed calculation. O.o So I went back to a wired computer. I don't mind the wires.
