INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

» CoxBox Core and GPS are both completely compatible with all current NK

wiring, microphone, speaker, chargers and mounting cups.

» Attach the 5-pin receptacle end of your NK audio harness to the Audio

Connector Port. If present, be sure to align the rib on the receptable with the notch on the Connector Port.

» Press the receptable straight in rmly to ensure a good connection.

Try not to twist the receptacle to avoid damaging the pins, sockets or plug.

» 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 CoxBox Ampliers.

» Attach a NK R2 Microphone to the Microphone Connector Port to complete

installation.

MEMORY

1:06

Every stroke taken with the CoxBox running is stored in memory and the memory can be reviewed in 100 meter increments. The speed input (GPS or Impeller) and system of units used will be stored as they were rowed. Both impeller and GPS stats can be viewed upon export. The total memory that the unit can store is approximately 25 hours.

» MEMORY STORAGE

When the memory is full, the unit will stop recording data. When nearing or at full data, you must delete all session data to continue recording (see below). The amount of memory used can be found on the bottom of the Recall Menu. An alert message will appear when memory log is nearly full.

» DATA RECALL

Select Data Recall from the Main Menu to review stored data. Recall memory will be formatted in sessions according to date and time. Just Row sessions will have the JustGo prex whereas a Workout session will just show the pieces run.

Please note: a session is not complete until: a) In Just Row, you reset the counter b) In Workout, the workout is completed or cancelled.

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.

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.

» AUTO SHUTDOWN

When Auto Shutdown is set to 10min, the unit will automatically shut off after 10 minutes of not detecting a stroke rate. If the Auto Shutdown is set to OFF, the unit will only turn off when the user manually shuts the unit down.

www.coxbox.com

ADVANCED SETUP MENU

» IMPELLER CALIBRATION

When using an impeller, this setting allows you to run the calibration routine and enter a calibration value.

» 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. If you decrease this number, the speed value displayed will respond more quickly to changes in boat speed. If you increase this number, the speed value will be more stable, but will take longer to show changes in boat speed.

» 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.

www.coxbox.com

» 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.

BATTERY USE AND CHARGING

» A fully charged battery will provide approximately 10+ hours of operation,

depending on speech, volume, duration, backlight, Bluetooth and accessory usage. Each bar on the battery indicator represents 20% of battery life, or approximately 2 to 2.25 hours.

» CoxBox Core and GPS can be charged with any exisiting NK CoxBox charger.

Standard NK chargers must be plugged into the audio port (the semi-circular connector).

» You may also speed up charging considerably with the new NK Espresso

This charger will charge the CoxBox in 1/3 of the time of the standard charger. The Espresso charger must be plugged in to the smart port (the rectangular connector).

» The CoxBox will always charge in the ON state, meaning you cannot turn it off 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 with a standard NK charger will take roughly

12 hours. To fully charge the battery when dead with the Espresso charger will take roughly 4 hours. If you need an hour of usage with a dead battery, charge for 15 minutes with the Espresso charger.

The CoxBox must only be charged with NK supplied chargers. Please do not attempt to charge CoxBox with any unapproved or 3rd party charging devices

WARNING! LITHIUM-ION POLY BATTERY HAZARDS

Your CoxBox 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 effect and may produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases, including toxic hydrogen uoride gas, which may cause dizziness or suffocation. 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.

WARNING! 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.

NOTE: Your CoxBox is quipped with a safety feature that will shut down charging if the battery is too hot or too cold.

» Do not puncture or open the unit.

» Do not continue to use a CoxBox that has been damaged, shows signs of water

ingress, or has displayed repeated charging errors.

» If you see smoke or smell fumes, STOP charging or use immediately and remove

the CoxBox from charge.

» 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 ABCtype extinguisher.

WARNING: This product and/or its included or branded accessories can expose you to

chemicals, including lead, lead compounds and phthalate DEHP, which are known to the State of California to cause cancer and lead and lead compounds, bisphenol A (BPA), and phthalate DnHP, which are known to the State of California to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm. For more information, go to www.P65Warning.ca.gov and www.NKSports.com/prop65.

Many of the elements listed under Proposition 65 are commonly found in products in the electronics industry. Although NK Sports’ manufacturing process is “lead-free,” it remains possible that small amounts of lead could be found in components or subassemblies. Bisphenol A (BPSA) could be found in plastic housings, lenses, labels or adhesives, and DEHP & DINP (phthalates) could be found in PVC wire coatings of cables, housings, carrying cases, an/or power cords. Because we cannot guarantee that these chemicals are never present, we have elected to place the warning on our products to ensure compliance with California law and our customers’ right to know. While we have not attempted to evaluate exposure, we believe that normal consumer use of this product is unlikely to result in exposure that creates a signicant risk of harm. For more information visit www.NKSports.com/prop65 or contact us directly at techsupport@nksports.com.

MAINTENANCE

Follow these steps to keep your CoxBox static-free and reliable for years.

Supplies: Isopropyl (rubbing) Alcohol, Pipe Cleaners, *Metal Cleaning Brush, *Nyogel Grease, Foam Swabs. (*Available from NK)

1. Use Isopropyl alcohol to clean the inside of all the connector sockets.

2. Insert metal brush (supplied with Audio Maintenance kit) into each socket several times to loosen and clean debris. If you do not have the Audio Maintenance Kit metal brush, you can substitute a pipe cleaner for this step.

3. Next use a pipe cleaner to remove any excess alcohol and debris.

www.coxbox.com

4. Apply Nyogel grease to each of the sockets. Be careful not to overll, only a small amount is needed.

5. Using a foam swab, apply Nyogel to inside and outside of all three rubber connectors, not the plastic.

6. If not using Smart connector, cover with Smart Connector Cap.

Keep Smart Connector Cap in place any time you

do not have something plugged in to connector. This is particularly important on the water as if prevents corrosion of the sockets.
