Amazon.com Product Description
Sigma's BC 1606L DTS is the top model for the most demanding of riders, even at night. The BC 1606L DTS wireless succeeds in this not only by providing a better overview of the essential information during a ride by hiding the total accumulated functions and cadence if not installed, but through its backlit readout that delivers optimal readability of information even in the dark. In addition, an integrated storage chip prevents the loss of set values during battery change as features such trip section counter, timer, and second wheel size are programmable. Cadence is available for both computers optionally. The set is equipped with a digital radio sensor. The receiver is integrated into the bike computer. A wireless cadence set is available as an option.

Digital Transmission System (DTS) Explained
With 2-channel radio transmission (km/h and pedal frequency) and 100% digital encoding without data loss, the DTS system guarantees 100% data security of current speed and pedal frequency values during wireless reception. It does this by calculating all relevant data, encoding it and transmitting it in data packets to the integrated receiver in the bike computer. Disturbances such as power lines or mobile phones are no longer a problem as transmission is carried out over the so-called low frequency. A double security system also ensures that only the data packets from your own transmitter are evaluated by the receiver. This means that group rides are no problem. A further security measure is redundant data transmission so that no data can be lost. The size and quality of the receiver has also been optimized by a specially developed Sigma chip (ASIC) and integrated into the bike computer which also saves on battery life.

 Big Display March 7, 2010

Big display, that's what I love about this unit. I wasn't in the market for some $300+ Garmin GPS unit. I just needed something to record my base mileage and speeds for the year. Needed something easy to read. This fits the bill.
 Finally, a Computer to Bike with! January 30, 2010
Thomas I. Bailey (NE Ohio)
I've had 4 brands of bike computers over my 40 years of cycling. Yes, Cateye was one of them. Many seemed to demand time and trial/error to get to know. Set-up was very easy. The Sigma was the first I've ever bought where the button choices seem intuitive. Got it (button choice) down in 3 rides.
The screen is larger and the nighttime contrast the best I've had in a long time. If it ever accidently fipped off my bike bars and got run over on the highway I'd be on Amazon for another in an instant.
 Forget Wireless! GO WIRED! October 26, 2009
T. Daniel (Hong Kong)
I've had the Signam BC 1606L DTS for six months and both the speed sensor and cadence sensor take turns working. No amount of resetting or changing batteries seems to have any effect. Also, the speed sensor barely hangs on to aero forks so it requires a pieceo of scotch tape to ensure it doesn't bounce off balance and fly into the spokes (breaking the o-ring mount and sending the sensor into traffic). Buttons are completely unintuitive - impossible to remember which resets, which selects and which advances. For all the talk of digital signals the thing shuts down with a "too many signals" excuse if I'm using a polar heart rate monitor. Its complete rubbish - for $90! You'll find complete reliability for a wired version for $25.

As others have pointed out that the instructions are a bit cryptic, none the less, it is accurate. The O-rings in my opinion are to help in locating the speed and cadence sensors on first installation, not a means for sole placement. There are plenty of supplied zip ties to secure the sensors once the optimum locations are found.
Installing the batteries in the speed and cadence sensors require a supplied special tool to lock the battery door. I think that a better way would be to mold in a coin slot instead. But thats their design. Make sure you align the arrow and dot when installing the battery door.
Placement orientation of the sensors are essential. Make sure you look at the pictograms to see that the sensors are in the correct location. I installed the cadence sensor in the wrong orientation at first and could see that the crank magnet was being sensed, but it didn't register on the computer. Looking a the manual again, I see that the cadence has to be located on the horizontal wheel stay. After I relocated the sensor here, the cadence works fine.
I did have a problem with the cadence sensor, the battery check light would not show an indication. I called Sigma customer service, got right through, there is a little "tang" on battery door that had broken off. Sigma customer service is sending a new one, 1st class mail. In the mean time I jury rigged a new tang on and got the cadence working, waiting for the new battery door for a permanent solution.
This product does everything I wanted in a wireless bike computer with cadence. I didn't give it 5 stars because of the battery door. For the money it's hard to beat.
Bad in many ways September 18, 2009

As others have said, this has many problems.
For me:
1. Sensor on front fork fits badly and on bumps starts hitting the spokes or flys outwards.
2. Even though sensor is ticking (audible), often the signal is lost for a few seconds to minutes for the front sensor and then works fine for the next hour or more (batteries not a problem).
3. Same for the cadence sensor.
4. While it has plenty of buttons the device is so stupid that you MUST click through ALL of the items to get back to where you were if you move one display mode ahead.
5. Showing the time and going back to the data display often leads to many many clicks through the data fields.
Do not buy this. Buy some other brand.
