Have a look to see if there isn't a piece of plastic in the sensor saving battery life. Pass the magnet over the sensor manually after doing the above.
Looking at your pictures I would suggest that you have it on the wrong side of the fork and consequently the round the wrong way.
The sensor is usually fitted to the leading edge of the right-hand fork leg with the battery compartment access on the inner side. You will then see the marking 'Sensor Zone' at the top of the unit which will enable you to line the magnet with the sensor.
You may need to angle the unit in towards the wheel to get a good pick-up.
You can check for operation before you set off by picking up the front of the bike and spinning the wheel. If all is properly set-up even a 'Sleeping' display will activate and show you a road speed measurement.
If you can her clicking it generally means that the magnet is hitting the sensor which is not a good thing. i have mine set up with about a 2mm gap and it works fine.
(I posted this in the review article originally)
Easy way to check if its fitted correctly - stick your ear by the receiver and spin the wheel, should get a faint click every time the magnet passes the receiver.
No click means the set up is wrong.
Thanks. I just checked and there was no audible click. Hmmm...
