1 INTRODUCTION AND PACKAGING CONTENTSCONTENTS

Congratulations on having chosen a bicycle computer from SIGMA SPORT

®

. Your new

BC 1909 HR will provide you reliable service in riding your bike for many years to come.

The BC 1909 HR is a state-of-the-art measuring instrument. Please read instructions
carefully to become familiar with the functions and usage of this bicycle computer.

SIGMA wishes you an enjoyable time using your BC 1909 HR.

The BC 1909 HR is fitted with an automatic Start/Stop. As soon as this is assembled
on the mounting bracket a movement sensor activates the BC 1909 HR at the smallest
movement of the bicycle or the hiking mounting. This automatically starts the connection.

SPEED AND CADENCE

kBoth transmitters can either be installed with cable ties
(permanent attachment) or optionally using the O-rings.
kIn order to achieve the necessary 12 mm or less install the transmittter
and the magnet closer to the wheel hub.
This does not affect the wheel size setting.

PUTTING ON THE CHEST BELT

kRub water or cardio-gel on the electrodes.

Switching between BIKE 1 and BIKE 2 is automatic.
A second speed transmitter must be used.
(Accessory set “BIKE 2” Ref. No.: 00417, “BIKE 2 incl. cadence” Ref. No.: 00415)
Green light will turn red when bike 2 is activated.

For reasons of energy consumption, the BC 1909 HR is supplied
without a battery.

Please insert the battery by opening the battery compartment
cover with the tool provided. Once you have inserted the battery,
close the battery compartment with the aid of the tool.

The display automatically jumps to setting mode.
