Free as in upgrade

Cateye OS 1.1

Just as everytime I finally decide to buy some new bit of electronics the purchase is soon followed by the announcement of a new and improved version so too was the Cateye OS 1.0 cyclocomputer. Cateye recently announced the new OS 1.1 cyclocomputer but they have offered to replace current OS 1.0 units with a new OS 1.1 for free. So, if you own one of these, read the following instructions on how to take them up on this generous offer.

OS 1.0 Upgrade - North America

Cat Eye is offering a free upgrade from the original OS 1.0 to the brand new OS 1.1. The new OS computer offers several improved features and even a new function.

Improved functions include:

  • Sharper screen display
  • Better date functions
  • Improved weekly, monthly and yearly distance recording
  • More stable Max Speed functioning
  • Improved Microprocessor stability

Additional function:

  • Countdown Distance or Countdown Time

The only thing you need to do to take advantage of this offer is to send the current OS 1.0 computer head to the Cat Eye Service Center in Boulder Colorado. ONLY the COMPUTER HEAD should be sent in. This is the only component that is being replaced. The bracket sensor and magnet should not be sent in. They are compatible for the new OS 1.1. Please note that a brand new computer head will be returned. It will have to be reformatted and there will be no data transferred to the new computer.

Shipping Instructions:

The computer head should be packaged in a bubble wrap envelope (or similar padded packaging) and shipped by UPS, FedEx or some other method that is insured and can be traced. Include your return address in the envelope and a daytime phone number and e-mail if available. Send the bubble wrap envelope to:

Cat Eye OS Upgrade
1705 14th Street #115
Boulder, Colorado 80302 USA

This upgrade should be processed within three working days and a new OS 1.1 computer head will be returned to you.

If you receive this message and are not in North America, please contact your local bike shop or d_griffith@cateye.co.jp for more details.
