INTRODUCTION
This operating manual contains instructions for operating E-tube Project.
In order to fully utilize the functions of E-tube Project, please read this manual thoroughly before use.
Note:
l Never connect or disconnect the battery and the units after you have clicked [Next] in the unit
connection standby window. If this is not observed, it may damage the SM-PCE1 or the other units.
l Never attempt to change the contents of the firmware files or the filenames. If you do this, it will not be
possible to update the firmware correctly, and problems may occur with the units after carrying out
firmware updates.
n NOTE:
l When connecting the SM-PCE1 to the PC, connect it directly to the USB port of the PC, without using
an intermediate device such as a USB hub.
l Make sure that the PC does not switch into standby while you are carrying out operations such as
updating the firmware.
If the PC switches to standby, E-Tube Project processing will be interrupted and the screen display will
return to the main window.
l When overwriting the initial firmware, connect the units to the SM-PCE1 as stand-alone units.
l After unit recognition has occurred while the battery is connected and the screen display has returned
to the main window, momentarily disconnect the battery and then reconnect it.
l Rotate the crank arms while carrying out operations which are related to adjustment and gear shifting.
l Use the TL-EW02 special tool to install and remove the electric wires.
