The ROX 6.0 is a versatile bike computer that can measure your altitude, speed,
cadence, and heart rate.
(Cadence - ROX 6.0 CAD only, or with purchase of optional cadence kit)
All current values – current speed, current altitude, current heart rate, current
cadence, and current lap – can be easily viewed on the large display.
The ROX 6.0 has classic bike computer features such 2 programmable wheel
sizes (automatically detected with the STS speed transmitter), an automatic
start/stop function, and several altitude calibration options.
The separate wrist strap also enables you to use your ROX 6.0 for hiking and
running.
1.3.1 PC interface
The ROX 6.0 can be connected to a PC or Mac. The optional docking station
enables you to transmit data between your PC and the ROX 6.0.

Attaching the ROX 6.0 and initial use
Initial use
2.7 Initial use
To preserve battery life, the ROX 6.0 comes in “deep sleep mode”.
Simultaneously press and hold the MODE 1 + SET buttons for five seconds to
awaken the ROX 6.0 from deep sleep mode.
The ROX 6.0 jumps to the setting mode (Section 4, pg 16).
2.8 Synchronizing the transmitters
To synchronize the transmitters, the ROX 6.0 must be clicked into the handlebar
or hiking wristband bracket.
The zeros of the speed, cadence, and heart rate values flash while the respective
transmitters are being synchronized.
Once synchronization is complete, the respective values appear on the ROX 6.0’s
display.
2.8.1 Synchronizing the speed
ROX 6.0
There are two options for synchronizing the speed:
−Start cycling – the receiver usually synchronizes with the transmitter after
five wheel rotations.
−Spin the front wheel until the mph 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 electrodes on the chest belt and put it on.
Move within 100 cm (approx 36 inches) the ROX 6.0 or get onto your bike.
The ROX 6.0 usually synchronizes with the chest belt in less than 10 seconds.
The current heart rate then appears on the display.

Altitude measurement (IAC)
Calibrating the altitude
7 Altitude measurement (IAC)
If the device “goes to sleep” (clock and model name appear on the display), the
last displayed current altitude is stored. When it ‘wakes up’, this stored current
altitude is used as a reference altitude. The ROX 6.0 essentially calibrates itself.
The barometric air pressure is activated by the movement of the bike and the
ROX 6.0, even if the ROX 6.0 is in sleep mode. This means that the current
altitude is regularly updated when you change location. The integrated motion
sensor is so sensitive that the system even functions in a car.
There are three small holes on the back of the ROX 6.0 for measuring the air
pressure. These holes must remain open.
Caution
Do not insert sharp objects into the measurement holes!
ROX 6.0
7.1 Calibrating the altitude
The ROX 6.0’s altitude measurement is determined based on barometric air
pressure. Any change to the weather means a change to the air pressure, which
can lead to a change to your current altitude. To compensate for these changes
in air pressure, you must enter a reference altitude into the ROX 6.0 (known as
calibration).
The ROX 6.0 can be calibrated 3 different ways:
1. Start altitude
The start altitude is the altitude of your usual location (normally your home)
and can be found on a map. It is set on the ROX 6.0 once (see section “4.5
Setting the start altitude”) and can be calibrated within three seconds (see
section “5.5 Calibrating the start altitude”). The start altitude is permanently
stored in the ROX 6.0 (including after changing the battery).
2. Current altitude
The current altitude is the altitude of the place in which you are currently
located, irrespective of your start altitude (e.g. the trip start location, an
alpine lodge or other locations). The current altitude is used if you are out on
your bike and altitude information is provided.
3. Air pressure at sea level
If you are at an unknown altitude, you can enter the “air pressure reduced to
sea level” to calculate the current altitude. The air pressure reduced to sea
level can be found online, in the newspaper, or at airports.

−Please increase the distance from the other transmitters and press any

8.3 Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Can I change the batteries myself?
All ROX 6.0 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 coded. This almost entirely prevents
interference between two different bicycle computers. When synchronizing the
receiver with the transmitter, ensure that you are not in the vicinity of any other
SIGMA ROX devices.
ROX 6.0
How long will the batteries in the transmitter and receiver last?
The battery life depends on how much the device is used and whether the
backlight is used.
In general, the ROX 6.0 and all three transmitters are designed so that the
battery lasts at least a year (based on one hour of use 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 compatible with one another.
Why has the altitude changed even though I have not moved?
The ROX 6.0’s altitude measurement is based on barometric altitude
measurement. As the barometric air pressure constantly changes, the current
altitude can change even though you have not moved.
The ROX 6.0 has a system that freezes the current altitude when the device
goes into sleep mode. This guarantees a constant current altitude providing the
computer is not regularly moved.
Why do I always have to calibrate the current altitude?
Since we use the barometric air pressure to determine the current altitude, the
constant changes to the current air pressure lead to changes to the current
altitude. To compensate for these changes and achieve an accuracy of +/- three
feet in the current altitude information, a reference altitude should be specified
for the ROX 6.0 before each ride. Entering this reference altitude is known as
calibration.
