1.3 ROX 5.0 functions
The ROX 5.0 is a versatile bike computer that can measure distance, speed,
cadence, and heart rate.
All current values – current speed, current heart rate, current cadence, and
current lap – can be simply and permanently read from the large display.
The ROX 5.0 has classic bike computer features such as two bikes that can
be switched between (these can be automatically detected with the aid of the
STS speed transmitter), an automatic start/stop function, and several other
functional view options.
1.3.1 PC interface
The ROX 5.0 can be connected to a PC. The optionally available docking station
enables you to transmit data between your PC and the ROX 5.0.
You can also configure the settings for the ROX 5.0 on the PC and then transmit
them to the bike computer.

Initial use
2.7 Initial use
To conserve energy, the ROX 5.0 comes in ‘deep sleep mode’. Simultaneously
press and hold the MODE 1 + SET buttons for five seconds to awaken the
ROX 5.0 from deep sleep mode.
The ROX 5.0 jumps to setting mode.
2.8 Synchronizing the sensors
To synchronize the sensors, the ROX 5.0 must be clicked into the bracket.
The zeros of the speed, cadence, and heart rate values flash while the respective
sensors are being synchronized.
Once synchronization is complete, the respective values appear on the ROX 5.0’s
display.
2.8.1 Synchronizing the speed
ROX 5.0
There are two options for synchronizing the speed:
−Start cycling – the receiver usually synchronizes with the sensor after five
wheel rotations.
−Spin the front wheel until the km/h information appears on the display.
2.8.2 Synchronizing the cadence
There are two options for synchronizing the cadence:
−Start cycling – the receiver usually synchronizes with the transmitter after
five pedal rotations.
−Turn the pedals until the current cadence appears on the display.
2.8.3 Synchronizing the chest belt
Moisten the sensor areas on the chest belt and put it on.
Move into the vicinity of the ROX 5.0 or get onto your bike. The ROX 5.0 usually
synchronizes with the chest belt in less than 10 seconds.
The current heart rate then appears on the display.

time, intensity zones, avg. heart rate, max. heart rate, calories.
Reset
button for more than three seconds.
5.8 Total values for bike 1 and bike 2
If you only ride one bike, only the total values for the first bike will be displayed.
If you also use a second bike, the total values are displayed under ‘bike 1’, ‘bike 2’
and ‘bike 1+2’.
5.9 Service interval
The service interval informs you once you have covered the distance before the
next bike inspection is due. The service interval can only be set by your specialist
retailer. Once the preset distance has been reached ‘Inspection’ appears on the
display.
Press any button to clear this message.
5.10 Transport mode
If your bike is transported on a bike rack or in the car (if the ROX 5.0 is clicked
into the bracket), the integrated movement sensor switches the ROX 5.0 to
‘transport mode’. ‘Transport’ appears on the display. Press any button to exit this
mode.
5.11 PC interface
The ROX 5.0 is PC-compatible. After purchasing the SIGMA DATA CENTER
software and its docking station, you can quickly and effortlessly download your
current training session to your PC. The ROX 5.0 saves the current values every
10 seconds for trips lasting up to 25 hours. This trip is then graphically displayed
in the Data Center.
Note
The SIGMA DATA CENTER software and docking station can be ordered from the
SIGMA SHOP at www.sigma-data-center.com.

6 Running with the ROX 5.0
The ROX 5.0 can also be used as a running computer. A separate wrist strap
is provided to this end. When the ROX 5.0 is attached to this wrist strap, all the
bike functions are hidden (but still remain saved and can be accessed on your
next bike trip). Only the running-related functions remain. You can therefore use
your ROX 5.0 with heart rate information for hiking, climbing, skiing, running, or
other types of sport.
6.1 Synchronizing the chest belt
Moisten the sensor areas and put on the chest belt.
Attach the ROX 5.0 to the wrist strap. The zeros for your current heart rate
flash. The ROX 5.0 synchronizes with the chest belt in less than 10 seconds.
The current heart rate then appears on the display.
6.2 Starting the running time
Reset
Lap
The running time is started and stopped by pressing the middle function button

If the running time has started, the icon
appears on the display.
6.3 Resetting the running time

7.1 Important information
7.1.1 ROX 5.0 water resistance
The ROX 5.0 is watertight. It can be used in the rain without any risk of damage.
The buttons can be pressed.
7.1.2 Water resistance of the transmitters (optional accessory)
Watertight and therefore suitable for many sporting activities.
ROX 5.0
7.1.3 Chest belt care (optional accessory)
The COMFORTEX+ textile chest belt is machine washable on a +40°C/104°F
hand wash cycle. Conventional detergent may be used.
Note
Bleaching agents or detergents containing bleaching agents must not be used.
Do not use soap or fabric softener!
Never have your COMFORTEX+ chemically cleaned. Neither the belt nor the
transmitter are suitable for dryers. Lay your belt on a flat surface to dry. Do not
wring it out, stretch it while wet, or hang it up. The COMFORTEX+ must not be
ironed.
7.1.4 Training advice
Consult your physician before starting training to eliminate any health risks. This
particularly applies if you suffer from any underlying cardiovascular diseases.
If you wear a pacemaker, always check with your physician that this is compatible
with our systems before using them!

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
‘TOO MANY SIGNALS’ displayed
−Please increase the distance from other transmitters and press any button.
7.3 Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Can I change the batteries myself?
All ROX 5.0 components have a battery compartment so that the user can
change the batteries. When doing so, please ensure that the sealing ring is
always correctly positioned before you close the battery compartment.
Can another person with a different bike computer/heart rate monitor cause
interference?
The digital transmission system is encoded. This almost entirely prevents any
interference between two different devices. When synchronizing the receiver with
the transmitter, ensure that you are not in the vicinity of any other SIGMA ROX
devices.
How long will the batteries in the transmitter and receiver last?
ROX 5.0
The battery life depends on how much the device is used and whether the light
manager is used.
In general, the ROX 5.0 and all three transmitters are designed so that the
battery lasts at least a year (based on one hour of usage each day).
Is the STS transmission system compatible with other transmission systems
(e.g. Bluetooth, ANT+, DTS etc.)?
No, the various transmission systems are not intercompatible.
