1.3 ROX 6.0 functions
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.
You can also set up the ROX 6.0 on the PC and then transmit the settings to the
bike computer.

Initial use
Attaching the ROX 6.0 and 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
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.
