Sigma 1009 STS issues

Been using this for a few months now and generally it does exactly what I want it to do and I'm happy with it. Occasionally, however, I've noticed that it freezes on a speed and will sometimes read 0.0 mph for 10 seconds or so whilst I'm riding. Just wondering what the issue could be and if anyone else is getting the same problem? Could it be a possitioning issue to do with the wireless transmission of data...?

I wasn't sure if it's a battery issue or not? It's just about 3 months old and I use it about 5 days a week on average. Probably happens once a week (that I notice) so not a massive problem...

    Does it coincide with crossing under high power lines?

    Ah possibly. I'll keep an eye out the next time I'm near some. Is this a known issue with wireless computers?

    I'm not sure but I remember that my HR monitor would go haywire under high power lines.

    Still not sure what this is - seemed to happen a bit last night on my way home from work; pausing on the same speed for 7 or 8 seconds every few minutes. I was thinking that it might have been the positioning of my lights? - Front light on handlebar, 1009 on the stem with the back of the light quite close to the top of it... hmm...

    To bring this one back to life - situation is only getting worse and this morning it started flashing "TOO MANY SIGNALS". Anyone else experienced this? I'm going to replace the battery and see if it makes any difference, but surely it shouldn't be going within 4 months? I've only covered about 700 miles with it.

    I have the same problem sometimes. And it doesn't work when my lights are switched on.

    Defo for lights.

    Soon as I turn my Cateye lights off, sigma comp. comes into life again.
