The mount base rotates to allow you to install the strap vertically or horizontally. SpeedCoach Harness Dock Mounting If your boat is equipped with a SpeedCoach harness, you can mount your unit on the dock. Your Speed- Coach GPS will always use its internal accelerometer to calculate stroke rate so a working seat switch and magnet are not necessary. If an impeller is present, you have the option to select “Impeller” for speed and distance input. Otherwise, the harness dock will serve as a secure holder and your unit will use its internal GPS receiver to calculate speed and distance. SpeedCoach Heart Rate Monitor* The heart rate SMART (LE) monitor belt connects to your unit via Bluetooth® technology and adjust the strap to fit your body snugly. Attach belt across the lower portion of your chest, as shown in the figure to the right. To pair your strap to your unit, please see Setup Menu option. *Training Pack Features MENU NAVIGATION AND SETTING BUTTON USE Access Menus/Select Press once to access the Main Menu.

From there, use the menu navigation steps described above to navigate, select, adjust and exit setup options: Input The Speed (and distance) Input setting can be set to GPS or Impeller. Please note that you will need a wiring harness and impeller to use the Impeller mode. HRM Setup* Selecting this option will automatically attempt to pair the Heart Rate Monitor (HRM) Belt with the unit. If more than one belt is found, you may need to change locations to isolate belt. The HRM will automatically turn on when attached to your body. The belt works best with moisture, so if you are not getting a reading, place some moisture on the rubber contacts of the belt before attaching to your body. Once the belt has been paired with the unit, you will not need to pair in the future (unless you select Forget HRM or change belts). Speed/Distance Setup Options are Speed mode or Split mode. Speed mode will display your speed in the top left window. Split mode will display your pace expressed as a time to cover a distance (usually 500 meters). Units allows you to change the units shown for speed and distance (options are: M, M/S, /500 M; 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, please 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. Advanced To access more advanced setup options, see below. IMPELLER CALIBRATION GPS FUNCTION AND ACCURACY Your SpeedCoach GPS employs a high-precision 5-Hz GPS receiver. This means it receives GPS position and speed data from the GPS satellites 5 times a second. This update rate, which is five times that of any running watch on the market, is necessary to provide the data density for accurate stroke-by-stroke rowing speed. Your GPS receiver’s performance is dependent upon having an unobstructed view of the sky. After passing under a low or wide bridge, you are likely to notice erratic speed data for a stroke or two. Your unit will return to accurate values as soon as it has re- established good satellite signal. A higher setting for speed-smoothing strokes will dampen both the initial error and the return to valid readings. Note that your total distance, elapsed time and av- erage speed will not be affected by these few strokes of erratic speed readings. You may also notice slightly degraded speed performance (less stable readings) on extremely overcast days. Note that when using your SpeedCoach GPS in team boats at a seat other than stroke seat, the body of the rower in front of you may interfere with the GPS signal, particularly if you are both long- legged. If possible, move the SpeedCoach to the side of the footstretcher so that it is not directly under the body of the rower in front. The GPS receiver provides speed accuracy of +/- 0.1 m/s, which translates to +/- 3 seconds at a 2:00 /500M split pace. Distance accuracy is +/- 2.5M over any distance. WARNING! LITHIUM-ION POLY BATTERY HAZARDS Your SpeedCoach GPS contains a lithium-ion poly battery pack. Lithium-ion batteries contain flammable 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 flare effect and may produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases, including toxic hydrogen fluoride 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 fire 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 charge in direct contact with flammable items. • 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 fire, evacuate the area to avoid inhalation of fumes. If possible, cover the battery with sand to extinguish the fire or use a dry ABC- type extinguisher. • Allow good air circulation around top and sides of unit while charging. ADVANCED SETUP MENU Impeller Calibration To change your Calibration Value or run the calibration routine (see below). 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 on the display, date will be shown on data recall screen. Please note in most U.S. locations daylight savings time is ON in the summer and OFF in the winter. Diagnostics The Diagnostics screen provides information about the performance of your unit’s GPS receiver, acceler- ometer, HRM*, clock, and charging system. This information assists NK tech support in case your unit is not functioning correctly. © 2014 Nielsen-Kellerman.

The Calibration Value is an adjustment factor that compensates for any difference between your impeller’s distance measurement and the “standard boat” upon which the SpeedCoach’s calculations are based. Calibration applies only when in Impeller mode for speed and distance can average out any impact of current or tide to improve the accuracy of the calibration results. Entering Impeller Calibration Select “Impeller Calibration” from the Advanced Setup Menu. Entering a Calibration Value Manually If you know your boat’s SpeedCoach Calibration Value from previous calibration (it is the same for any SpeedCoach), you may enter it manually. From the Calibration Menu, press to select the Calibration Value, then press to adjust the value, and to accept the value. Running the Calibration Routine The SpeedCoach GPS does not need a measured course to be calibrated. Because the SpeedCoach GPS knows both the GPS and Impeller distance measured, it can self-calibrate. Calibration simply involves rowing the selected distance in two directions. Your distance options are 500 to 1000M. Although a longer distance will somewhat improve the accuracy of your calibration, is important to choose a calibration distance that you can row in a relatively straight line in both directions. Ideally, it will also have relatively consistent current throughout. The Calibration Routine requires that you row your course in both directions so the unit can average out any impact of current and tide to improve the accuracy of the calibration result through more comparison data. If you wish to change your calibration distance from 500M, press to move to the distance line, to select, then to adjust and to accept. To run the calibration routine, press to highlight Run on the Calibration Menu, then to select. From the calibration screen, press to start each calibration leg and follow the screen prompts. On each leg, the land distance and water distance will count up until the selected distance is reached in the land distance window (bottom left). Note that there will be a three- or four-stroke delay at the start of each leg while the GPS and impeller readings are synchronized. At the end of the routine, the newly calculated Calibration Value will be displayed. Press to accept the new value and exit the routine, or press to exit the routine without changing your Calibration Value. At any time while running the calibration routine, you can press to exit the routine without changing your calibration value. Memory Storage When the memory is full, the unit will stop recording data. When nearing or at full data, 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 prefix whereas a Work- out 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. Delete All Session Data This selection will delete ALL memory if chosen. Sessions cannot be deleted individually. Viewing Sessions Selecting a session will bring up the Session Overview (Figure 1). The overview provides the overall distance, time, avg split, and avg stroke rate during that session. Selecting the Session Overview will bring up the Session Details (Figure 2).
