SpeedCoach Harness Dock Mounting
If your paddleboard is equipped with a Speed-
Coach harness, you can mount your unit on the
dock. Your SpeedCoach SUP will always use its
internal accelerometer 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 SUP 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 SUP 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 aver-
age 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:
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 au-
tomatically 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 currently, date will be shown on recall screen.

SPECIFICATIONSGPS FUNCTION AND ACCURACY
Your SpeedCoach SUP 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 neces-
sary to provide the data density for accurate stroke-by-stroke paddling 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 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
seconds at a 2:00 /500M split pace. Distance accuracy is +/- 2.5M over any distance.
