Abstract: An electric component for a human powered vehicle, comprises a transmitter, a receiver, at least one operating member, and a controller. The transmitter is configured to wirelessly transmit wireless signals to an additional electric component. The receiver is configured to wirelessly receive an acknowledgement signal from the additional electric component. The controller is configured to control the transmitter to consecutively transmit one of the wireless signals as a first control signal in response to an operation of the at least one operating member until the receiver receives the acknowledgement signal. The controller is configured to control the transmitter to transmit another of the wireless signals as a second control signal when a first predetermined time period has passed since a time point from when the operation of the at least one operating member is started until when the transmitter starts transmitting the first control signal.

Abstract: A wireless communication device for a human-powered vehicle comprises a wireless communicator and a controller. The wireless communicator is configured to wirelessly receive a control signal from an operating wireless communicator of an operating device. The wireless communicator has a first mode and a second mode. The wireless communicator is configured to wirelessly transmit a connection demand signal in the second mode to establish wireless communication between the wireless communicator and an external wireless communicator of an external electric device different from the operating device. The wireless communicator is configured to wirelessly receive a connection signal which is wirelessly transmitted in response to the connection demand signal from the external wireless communicator of the external electric device. The controller is configured to set the wireless communicator with the first mode if the connection signal indicates that the external electric device is the paired device.
