INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
» CoxBox Core and GPS are both backwards compatible with current NK wiring, speaker, chargers
and mounting cup. Since a rate sensor is no longer needed, you can remove the R harness and seat magnet from your boat when using the new model. However leaving the rate sensor attached will not cause any issues and you may want to keep it if you still use older CoxBoxes.
» Attach an A (or A+) harness to your CoxBox Audio connector port.
If you are using more than 1 speaker, attach an M harness to the end of the A (or A+) harness. Attach a speaker to the M harness. For every additional speaker, you will need to use an additional M harness to extend the connection throughout the boat. 4 speakers is the maximum amount recommended for the CoxBox GPS or Core.
» Attach a microphone to the Microphone connector port to complete installation.

BATTERY USE AND CHARGING
A fully charged battery will provide approximately 10+ hours of operation, depending on backlight, Bluetooth and accessory usage. Each bar on the battery indicator represents 20% of battery life, or approximately 2 to 2.25 hours.
To charge your unit, you can use any Cox Box charger, as it works retroactively with previous chargers. Place the charging plug in the semi-circle, 5 prong connector. The CoxBox will always charge in the ON state, meaning you cannot turn it o while it is charging. The battery indicator will ash to show that it is charging. When the battery indicator stops ashing, the unit is fully charged. To fully charge the battery when dead, it will take up to 12 hours.
There also is an option for using the Espresso™ charger. The Espresso charger connects through the rounded rectangular connector. This charger will charge the CoxBox in 1/3 of the time of the standard charger. To fully charge the battery when dead, it will take up to 4 hours. If you need an hour of usage with a dead battery, charge for 15 minutes with the Espresso charger.
The CoxBox can only be charged with NK supplied chargers. Please do no attempt to charge CoxBox with any unapproved or 3rd party charging devices.
WARNING! LITHIUM-ION POLY BATTERY HAZARDS
Your CoxBox is equipped with a safety feature that will shut down charging if the battery is too hot or too cold. Do not charge below 32⁰ F / 0 ⁰C or above 115⁰ F / 45⁰ C. It contains a lithium-ion poly battery pack. Lithium-ion batteries contain ammable liquid electrolyte that may vent, ignite and produce sparks when subjected to high temperatures or when damaged or overcharged. If ignited, batteries may burn rapidly with a are eect and may produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases, including toxic hydrogen uo­ride gas, which may cause dizziness or suocation. Contact with battery electrolyte may be irritating to skin, eyes and mucous membranes.
• Do not ever subject to re or temperatures above 140°F | 60°C. NOTE: A car in hot sunlight may exceed these temperatures!
• Do not charge, use, transport or store above 115°F | 45°C.
• Do not charge below 32°F| 0°C.
• Do not puncture or open the unit.
• If the unit’s internal battery pack is damaged, avoid contact with battery electrolyte, which may be irritating to skin, eyes and mucous membranes.
• In case of battery re, evacuate the area to avoid inhalation of fumes. If possible, cover the battery with sand to extinguish the re or use a dry ABC- type extinguisher.
ADVANCED SETUP MENU
Impeller Calibration
To change your Calibration Value or run the calibration routine.
GPS Spd Smoothing, Strokes The Speed Smoothing feature will average the last number of strokes selected. If “2” is selected, for example, the Speed/Split displayed will be an average of the last two strokes, updated every stroke.
Stroke Rate Setup
Options are Timer Start Acceleration, Noise Filtering and Axis.
Timer Start Acceleration
Governs the degree of acceleration that must be detected to start the stroke meter. The default value is
4. If you increase this value, a more forceful stroke is needed to start the timer. If you decrease this value, a less forceful stroke is needed to start the timer.
Noise Filtering
Governs the degree to which the accelerometer will register changes in acceleration as a stroke. The de­fault value is 3. If you increase this value, more acceleration is needed to register a stroke. If you decrease this value, less acceleration is needed to register a stroke.
Axis
Allows you to select Front-Back (2) or Any (3). Front-Back (2) is generally recommended for rowing assuming that the unit will be mounted perpendicular to the long axis of the boat. If mounting at a non-perpendicular axis, the recommendation is to toggle to Any (3).
Time and Date
Used to change the format of the date and time displayed. Please note: only time shows currently, date will be shown on recall screen.
Diagnostics
The Diagnostics screen provides information about the performance of your unit’s GPS receiver, accel­erometer, HRM, clock, and charging system. This information assists NK tech support in troubleshooting your unit in case it is not functioning correctly.
Factory Restore
This will reset the rmware back to the default settings. This will also erase all data sessions but will not reset odometer values.

Countdown: When toggled ON, a countdown timer will start when the rst stroke is detected. When the countdown reaches zero, the workout will begin. Tip: The countdown allows the user to build to “race pace” before starting their workout. If countdown is toggled OFF, the workout will start immediately when the rst stroke is detected. Intervals: Determines the number of intervals in the workout. If you select Equal, all work intervals will be equal in type and value and all rest intervals will be equal in type and value. If you select Variable, you can create a multi-faceted workout of work and rest intervals that can each vary by type and duration. Work: Denes the rst work interval of the workout. Work can be time based or distance based. If more than one interval is being performed, a number will be added to this entry (i.e., Work1, Work2, Work3, etc). Rest: Denes the amount of rest in between work intervals. Rest can be time based or distance based. The number shown to the right is the rest value per the unit shown. Similarly if more than one rest period is entered in a variable workout, it will be followed by a number. Number of Sets: Select the number of sets of the proceeding interval workout to run. For example if you have a workout with a work and rest interval, setting this to 2 will run this work and rest interval workout twice. Rest Between Sets: Only appears if Number of Sets is greater than 1. Denes the rest period between a repeated group of intervals.
