The display

The BC 23.16 STS features a large display that is easy to read.

The display is divided into 3 sections.

The top section of the display always shows: – Current heart rate (or current time if heart rate tracking has not been activated) – Current altitude – Current cadence (or current temperature if cadence tracking has not been activated) – Current gradient

The middle section shows the current speed.

The bottom section of the display shows the selected

function and the value for the selected function.

In the center right of the display, below the speed indicator, a unit of measure is displayed in either kmh or mph.

If a lap has been activated and the results of the last lap are displayed in the overview, the lap icon appears here.

The left-hand area of the display next to the speed indicator contains the following symbols:

" ": The symbol is ON if lap data is being displayed. It shows the average speed during the lap. For a more detailed description of laps, please see page 78.

" " The SIGMA BC 23.16 STS can be used on 2 bikes. The display symbols 1 and 2 tell you whether your SIGMA BC 23.16 STS is working with the settings for bike 1 or the settings for bike 2. Please refer to page 42 for how to toggle the bike selection between bike 1 and bike 2.

"UP arrow /DOWN arrow " The arrows indicate whether you are currently travelling faster, slower or the same speed as your current average speed.

Symbol " " indicates whether Light mode is ON or OFF.

The zoom mode on the display

The BC 23.16 STS has a zoom mode on the display. The information on the upper display can be displayed in zoom mode.

The maximum cadence reached on a trip is displayed here. This is displayed only if the cadence transmitter is activated in the settings. Refer to the Settings/Device settings for more information.

Power (watts)

This current power in watts is displayed only if the cadence transmitter is activated in the settings. Refer to the Settings/Device settings for more information.

The power (watts) is calculated using an algorithm. A strong headwind or tailwind can lead to deviations between the calculated value and the actual power generated.

Average power (watts)

The average power achieved during a trip is displayed here.

Ghost race

The BC 23.16 STS gives you the option of "racing" against yourself. A comparison trip can be selected for the ghost race. This is a trip you yourself have ridden already. The comparison trip is transferred to the BC 23.16 STS via the SIGMA DATA CENTER.

If a comparison trip has been selected, the BC 23.16 STS displays a start screen for the ghost race.

The ghost race is started by briefly pressing the BIKE and MENU buttons at the same time.

After the start, the display shows who is behind or ahead in the ghost race.

In this example, you are ahead (by 23 m and 3.3 seconds).

In this example, your ghost opponent is ahead (34 m and 8 seconds).

The BC 23.16 STS has a NFC chip. NFC stands for Near Field Communication. This NFC chip lets you do the following with an NFC-enabled smartphone (currently only Android phones) and the necessary SIGMA LINK app data and settings from your BC 23.16 STS: – Read out and synchronize with the SIGMA CLOUD, www.sigma-data-cloud.com. Import data from the SIGMA CLOUD and analyse it in the SIGMA DATA CENTER – Edit settings on a smartphone using the app

-- Transfer settings back to the BC 23.16 STS via a smartphone

NOTE: Currently only ANDROID smartphones feature the necessary NFC equipment. The iPhone does not (yet) feature this NFC equipment.

NOTE: If you leave the NFC setting set to "ON", anyone with the SIGMA LINK app on an NFC-enabled smartphone can read out your data and change the settings on your BC 23.16 STS. Therefore, always make sure that your NFC is set to "ON" only when you want to communicate with your BC 23.16 STS using your smartphone.
