My Cateye Mico wireless stops working periodically, but only while I'm using my Nighrrider headlight (which is every morning). I replaced the batteries but the problem persists. Anyone else have this issue, and is it unique to this model of computer?
Thanks. |

Only time I notice electric field interference with my Cateye wireless or older Polar HRM is when I'm under electric high tension wires.
I use a magisshine light occasionally, and get no interference from that with my cateye wireless.
You replaced the batteries in the Sender unit, the receiver, or both? |

Is your nightrider an HID light? That might explain the drop out as these lights can emit a lot of EMF which can interfere with the wireless signal.
Might try to find another place on hte bars but I know there are not many places for these 2 devices but on the bars |

Yo Mike -- I replaced the batteries in both units.
Master50 -- I'll experiment with different bar placement.
Thanks, |

| I have a Stella and had the same problem with a Trek computer. The Stella has a rubber clamp for attaching to the handlebars. I flipped it to the bottom of the bar, which made it just far enough away to alleviate the problem. Since I changed bikes, I passed the old one, with the computer, to my son, but I kept the light. I haven't used it on the new bike, so I don't know if it interferes with this set-up. |

| A buddy solved a similar problem by placing HRM in his back pocket. Sure, you won't be able to read it while riding but if its dark enough to need lights no big deal. |
