Desperate on 2nd wireless bike computer!
Hi, this is my first ever post here
Hi people,
have fallen deeply in love with cycling past two months, and big thanks of that goes to my bike computer that motivates! But, as the second(!)wireless bike computer in those two months now this one stopped working too (1st one didn't work at all). The model is Asaklitt 401-KS20TUL, bought from Clas Ohlson here in Helsinki. Problem is I can't find ANY customer service of that Asaklitt!
The problem is this. Few days ago it started to drop and show 0km/h, I made sure that that the sensor was 2mm from the magnet. But no. Then some weird "circling symbol" appeared on the screen which i figured was that it was trying to connect with sensor but was unable. Even though 2months old, today i bought new batteries for 12 euros. Nothing changed! Except that circling cymbol had disappeared.
Bike computer is next to my phone that i use as a navigator, so this must be the problem that it had got some interference from my phone. *DO YOU USE BIKE COMPUTERS 5CM FROM YOUR PHONE, ANYONE??
So manual says for that (Most important so far): 1.PRESS THE CHANNEL SELECTOR BUTTON ON THE SENSOR/TRANSMITTER 2. KEEP PEDALING TO ACTIVATE THE SENSOR 3.THE NEW ID-CODE(*WHAT IS THAT??) WILL BE REGISTERED IN ABOUT 1MIN.
BUT, WHERE IS THE CHANNEL SELECTOR BUTTON ON THE SENSOR/TRANSMITTER!?? Opened the battery slot, at least i didn't see any button there. Nor anywhere on the sensor! What can i do now? COULD the mysterious "channel selector button" be somewhere or is there anything i could do!?
Please answers guys and girls, Finnish summer is way to short!
Any help appreciated.
Ps. Do i really need to buy 3rd one in 3 months as a student!? If, i would go for a wired one, if they are ok...?

Don't know if your using a dynamo hub, but I have read of some computers being incompatible with them.
Here in Australia, the first port of call with products is the retailer when theres an issue.

Thanks for answers,
visited a bike shop today and asked about it. Yes, the dynamo light messes up the computer. The shop owner had wondered about it himself as he biked to work and it was working, on the way home it wasn't. As it was dark and the light was on! So turn your lights off (easy here as it's 20h of daylight this time of year) if you have to use your bike computers. But be careful!

In my tests the interference is produced by the headlamp driven by a dynamo rather than the dynamo itself. To suppress it, you need to mount ferrite clamp-on beads, see here, separately on each of the supply wires to the headlamp. Mount the clamps as close to the headlamp as possible. If the bead ends up being loose, you can run the wire second time around through the bead.

Hardware connexion issue
Most of the computer will try to connect wirelessly without any actions providing they are within range, as soon as the battery is inserted i had a very similar issue with my Schwinn computer. After changing the battery, it would not connect to the sensor just like yours. I moved the computer closer to the wheel sensor and it immediately stated to work. I had to change the bracket location to fix it permanently. I would try to remove the battery from the computer and reinsert it right next to the sensor and see what happens.
Good luck
