What am I doing wrong? Display cycles when I first attach but never has a reading

Mine works great and always has. The fact that a display cycles probably means that you have it hooked up wrong. In normal operation, one bar stays lit or flashes when low. Remember that the positive and negative have to ALWAYS be hooked up to your battery pos. and neg. I've got a switch on mine to turn off the display but it's not really needed. One user says "The C is for your switch to turn on the indicator, with my application, I ran a wire and connected it directly with the positive terminal for the indicator, beings I want to be able to kill power to the entire indicator when not in use. Prolly wasn't needed but that was my choice and it works great. The R is unused and I think I read that it's not commonly used." On mine, I think that means that when I installed it I hooked pos to battery pos and neg to battery neg. Then I hooked a wire from C to my switch and back from the positive pole on my switch to neg on the indicator. If you don't put in a switch, then I believe C just gets hooked straight to positive so that the unit will display.

Possibly the display is frozen. Removing and reinstalling the battery is worth a try.

I haven't had any trouble with mine. When immersed or poked into something, I get a reading within a few seconds, max.

This only happens when you plug it either in reverse or miss a pin. The monitor automatically detects the number of cells and works accordingly.

Mine did that too. Once 3rd wire hooked to what you want to check it should read right. If not its defective.

I've had an issue with this also since the meter doesn't stop to take the reading. I place my hands on the handles and stop pedaling. the first reading is always high, and after about 30 seconds or so starts to go down. I usually go by the second or third number down. I think that's about as close as you can get -- just make sure you stop pedaling when you take the reading.

There are two possibilities. 1) the display assembly is losing calibration and the device can be reset to calibrate it. 2) the display assembly is defective and requires replacement.

I would check that all connections are not loose. It sounds like you have the power usb cable plugged in but check it's connection as well. I'd suggest contacting the company if you have further problems. My monitor has worked flawless since installing the adapter. Sorry to hear you are having issues.

Mine only reads in Fahrenheit. You might try removing the battery and putting it back in.

Sorry you are experiencing issues. We had none. We hooked it up and both monitors are displaying just fine.

That sounds like a defect. My verbal readings were consistent with my display.

I have tested few times in the past month. There is no change at all in the reading - ~ 350 before filtering and ~ 350 after filtering.

I can't guess what is wrong. But I can tell you that I do not use it anymore because I found it to be totally unreliable. More often than not, I could not get a reading at all. I replaced it with the Omron HR210 which does a much better job.

here is an example of the display fault I have with the device. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6TW1rCuFqeM

We've not had that problem (yet). My only thought is the internal sensitivity element and the sensitivity button are not making a connection. It may be necessary to open the monitor to determine if something has come loose. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Its supposed to turn off, and reset to zero after a period on non use. The top reading will reset to zero, the bottom reading will not, and is cumulative.

The monitor will sound slow like it's struggling to keep going. If it doesn't get a reading a "O" or "error" will appear on the screen...if a reading comes up that doesn't seem accurate, I repeat the process to verify whether the first reading was right or not...though I feel like it's usually pretty accurate.
