SpeedCoach Harness Dock Mounting

If your paddleboard is equipped with a SpeedCoach

harness, you can mount your unit on the dock. Your

SpeedCoach GPS will always use its internal accel-

erometer to calculate stroke rate. 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. Also, use the leash plug included to secure

your unit’s lanyard to your paddleboard to prevent

loss of the unit.

Speed Coach Heart Rate Monitor (HRM)

The heart rate monitor belt connects to your unit via

Bluetooth technology. Adjust the straps to t your

body snuggly. Attach belt across the lower portion

of your chest, as shown in the gure to the right. To

pair your strap to your unit, please see Setup Menu

option.

ADDITIONAL FUNCTIONS AND OPTIONS (CON’T)

USING THE MEMORY

The SpeedCoach GPS memory stores 200 memory points at a xed interval of 100 meters or

0.1 miles. It will also store a snapshot of your data each time you start and stop your timer.

At each memory point, the SpeedCoach GPS stores the distance and elapsed time as well

as the instantaneous stroke rate, speed/split and distance per stroke from the last complete

stroke prior to the memory point. The cumulative average speed to that point is also stored.

Recall Data

Select Recall Data from the Main Menu. The display will return to the normal

window arrangement with a RECALL bar displayed. The Interval count is displayed

in the top right corner.

Step through Data

The screen will advance to the next point with each press.

Change the Flex Fields

At any data point, you may change the ex elds to see the other stored values.

Erase Data

When your SpeedCoach’s memory is full, it will cease storing data. To clear the

memory, select Erase Data from the Main Menu. Note – data is erased immediately.

Press to cancel if you do not wish to erase.

SETUP MENU

From the Main Menu, use the and select Setup. 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

Clicking this option will automatically attempt to pair the Heart Rate Monitor (HRM)

belt with the SpeedCoach unit. The HRM will turn on automatically when attached to

your body. If your HRM belt is not found, place two ngers on the metal strap buckles to

activate.

Speed/Distance Setup

Options are Speed Mode (where you can select Speed, which is your distance for a time, or

Split, which is predicted for your selected interval) and Units (change to select which units

of measure you wish to be displayed).

Auto Pause

Your auto pause selection will govern whether the timer will stop running automatically

after you stop paddling, or continue running, allowing you to time rest intervals even if you

stop paddling. If Auto Pause is“ON,”the timer and other windows will all stop six seconds

after that last stroke is detected. If the Auto Pause is“OFF,” the timer will keep running

whether or not you are paddling. To stop the timer when Auto Pause is o, press once.

To resume paddling, press to bring up the READY bar. The timer will restart as soon as

a stroke is detected.

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 paddling, turning Auto

Pause “OFF” will impact the calculation of your cumulative average speed.

Advanced

To access more advanced setup options, see below.

ADVANCED SETUP MENU

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 by the accelerometer to start the

stroke meter. Noise Filtering governs the degree to which the accelerometer will register

changes in acceleration as a stroke. The default value of 3 is generally the best for all types

paddling. A lower value will increase the variability of the stroke rate. The Axis option allows

you to select Front-Back (2) or Any (3). Front-Back (2) is the recommended setting for

paddling.

Time and Date

Used to change the format of the date and time displayed. Please note: only time shows

charged.

The SpeedCoach GPS can only be charged with the supplied charging dock. The Speed-

Coach GPS is compatible with any USB charging source, including your computer or a cell-

phone standby power source.

Your SpeedCoach GPS 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 eect and may produce irritating, corrosive

and/or toxic gases, including toxic hydrogen uoride gas, which may cause

dizziness or suocation. 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. NOTE: A car in

hot sunlight may exceed these temperatures!

SPECIFICATIONSGPS 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 ve times that of any running watch on the market, is necessary to provide the

data density for accurate stroke-by-stroke paddling speed. Your GPS receiver’s perfor-

mance 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 average speed

will not be aected by these few strokes of erratic speed readings. You may also notice

slightly degraded speed performance (less stable readings) on extremely overcast days.

The GPS receiver provides speed accuracy of +/- 0.1 m/s, which translates to +/- 3 sec-

onds at a 2:00 /500M split pace. Distance accuracy is +/- 2.5M over any distance.
