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 eect and may produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases, including toxic hydrogen uoride gas, which may cause dizziness or suocation. 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.

WORKOUTS (GPS version only)
Run Last Workout: Runs the last workout. This is a quick way to repeat single distance or single time
workouts without setting up intervals.
NOTE : Press to ready the workout. Workout will start when rst stroke is detected. Press
to pause a workout. Hold to cancel a workout.
Single Distance: Select this option to run a single distance-based workout at the distance shown.
Press , followed by and to adjust the distance. Then press 2x to run the workout.
Single Time:Select this option to run a single time-based workout for the time shown. Press ,
followed by and to adjust the time. Then press 2x to run the workout.
Intervals…
Select this option to create a multi-interval based workout (e.g. time,
distance, and/or rest periods). You can select from the pre-loaded
workouts or customize to create your own. Up to 6 custom workouts
can be programmed. The SPC is loaded with 6 default workouts,
which are editable. Please note: Interval workout names are
automatically generated based on the type of intervals performed.
Creating an Interval Workout
First select a pre-existing workout to edit. Use and to
select a eld. Press the , followed by the and to
modify the middle column. Press again, followed by
and to adjust the right column value. Press return to eld
selection. Please note: pressing the will automatically SAVE
and exit the workout when nished.
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: Denes 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: Denes 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. Denes the rest period between a repeated group of intervals.

SETUP MENU
Speed/Distance Setup
Options are Speed mode or Split mode. Speed mode will display your speed in the top right window
(which can be exed). Split mode will display your pace expressed as a time to cover a 500 meter distance. Units allows you to change the units shown for speed and distance (options are: M,M/S, /500M;
KM, KMH, /500M; or MI, MPH, /MI).
Auto Pause
If toggled ON, the unit will stop the timer if it does not detect a stroke within the last 6 seconds. If
toggled OFF, the unit will not stop the timer even if no strokes are being detected. If you would like to
stop the timer manually, select the button to start and stop the timer manually. Please note: the
unit will not Auto Pause during the Rest sessions of a Workout.
Auto Shutdown
When Auto Shutdown is set to 10min, the unit will automatically shut o after 10 minutes of not
detecting a stroke rate. If the Auto Shutdown is set to OFF, the unit will only turn o when the user
manually shuts the unit down.
NOTE: Average Speed is always calculated as a function of the distance covered in the elapsed time shown.
Because the timer will continue to run while you are not rowing, turning Auto Pause “OFF” will impact the
calculation of your cumulative average speed.
