Using the database

The large table on this page has links to user instructions for most cyclecomputer and GPS models.

We have worked hard to make this list complete, but information on some older models is unavailable; also, new models appear from time to time.

Look for similarities in appearance and function when trying instructions for a computer not on our list. Many bicycle computers are rebranded. A Web search on the make and model, plus "manual" or "instructions" sometimes turns up information posted by an owner. Old versions of manufacturers' Web sites preserved on the Internet Archive may list older models. Our contact information is at the bottom of this page. If you can provide information, or correct an error, please do.

The letter A through F in the right-hand column of the table links to an article giving the data which computer uses to measure distance:

Sigma

Instructions in additional languages are on the Sigma Web site. Sigma changes filenames for manuals, so look on the table of contents page if a link has broken.

Model names are given in numerical rather than alphabetical order here, as model names for different computers can be similar. If in doubt, check the picture of the computer on the Sigma site.

If an early Sigma computer has no setting for miles, use the setting for kilometers/1.609344 and the reading will be in miles.
