Information is power.
Your HRM Triax 15 is engineered to provide quick, one-touch access to a
variety of critical information during training and in competition.
Used properly this heart rate monitor will help you train more effectively by
delivering accurate and timely heart rate readings. Whether your goal is to
increase your race performance using advanced training methods, improve
your fitness or just lose weight, you will find this to be a valuable tool.
This manual combines step-by-step operational instructions to help you
identify the programmable features and functions of each specific mode. It
is not the goal of this manual to provide all of the information necessary to
embark upon a training regimen. There are numerous books on the subject,
good information on the Internet, and professional trainers affiliated with
most health clubs. Remember, this heart rate monitor is just one part of an
intelligent exercise plan.
Before beginning any exercise regimen you should consult your physician
or health professional. There are numerous factors to consider when
determining your heart rate limits and exercise intensity level. Some of
these factors include your age, the frequency with which you exercise and
your overall physical fitness.
Throughout this manual look for the symbol to identify especially
useful and important information.

We’ve tried to make this watch as easy as possible to use. Great care has
been taken to make the button functions consistent and clear. Even if you
don’t read the whole manual, you should be able to work your watch if you
understand, in general, how the buttons work.
BUTTON FUNCTIONS, LEFT SIDE
ADJUST/EXIT
Think of ADJUST/EXIT as the button to use when you want to adjust, set or
reset something. For example, if you want to adjust the time, or reset the
chronograph. This button is a little different than the other buttons
because you usually have to press and hold it for a few seconds. This is so
you don’t accidentally reset or adjust something.
MODE/NEXT
The MODE/NEXT button will normally move you to the next mode. When
you are making adjustments or setting something, the MODE/NEXT button
will move you to the next adjustable element.
GETTING STARTED
BUTTON FUNCTIONS, RIGHT SIDE
The buttons on the right hand side of the watch have more functions than
the buttons on the left side. For that reason we’ve included all the details
for quick reference.
LAP/PLUS
You can think of the LAP/PLUS button as the “go”, “plus,” or “move
forward” button. It also functions as an on/off switch in some modes.
• In TIME mode, press to turn the chime on and off.
• In CHRON mode, press to start the chronograph and mark lap
completion.
• In TIMER mode, press to start the countdown timer.
• In PULSE mode, press to view time of day.
• In DATA mode, press to move forward through the list of data points.
• In ALARM mode, press to turn the alarm on and off.
• When making adjustments, press to advance the blinking element.
SPLIT/MINUS
The SPLIT/MINUS button is the opposite of the LAP/PLUS button. Think of it
as the “stop,” “minus,” or “go backwards” button. This button will also
allow you to alternate selections in some modes.
• In TIME mode, press and hold to select time zone 1 or 2.
• In CHRON mode, press to stop the chronograph.
• In TIMER mode, press to stop the countdown timer.
• When making adjustments, press to advance the blinking element.
ELECTROLITE BUTTON
The ELECTROLITE button is used to turn on the light.
If you press and hold the Electrolite button, you can make the light come
on at the press of any button. It’s great for night use. We call it auto-
Electrolite.

The chest transmitter enables your watch to provide information about your
heart rate. You can always use your watch without the transmitter as a
multi-function sport timepiece.
The chest transmitter will function automatically as long as it is being worn
correctly and is within several feet of the watch.
The grooved part of the chest transmitter houses sensors that time
electrical pulses in your heart to determine heart rate. This information is
then transmitted to your watch.
Your HRM Triax 15 will work best if both sensors on the grooved part of the
chest strap are wet. A few drops of water or saliva should be sufficient to
cover the sensors.
POSITIONING THE CHEST
TRANSMITTER
1: Attach the adjustable strap to the
transmitter.
2: Wet the grooved electrodes with
saliva or water.
3: Adjust the chest strap to fit
comfortably and securely. It should
be tight enough that it won’t slip
when you exercise.
4: Position the chest transmitter
below the breast so that it sits on
your rib cage.
Note: The chest strap is most effective when
worn directly against the skin.
BATTERY CHANGE
If your heart rate display becomes erratic or stops it may be necessary to
replace the battery in the chest transmitter.
1: Open the battery lid on the chest transmitter with a coin by turning
counter-clockwise.
2: Insert a CR2032, 3V lithium battery with the writing facing you. Take
care not to touch the 2 contacts.
3: Replace the battery lid.
The chest transmitter is water resistant. Wipe dry after use.
The various features of your watch are grouped into 7 different modes.
