Triax c6 Operation manual

Information is Power
This heart rate monitor was developed in association with
Jay Blahnik, an internationally recognized fitness instructor,
author and industry expert.
One insight that Jay has gained from his years of working
with heart rate monitors is that too often people try to
"shoot for a num er" they have seen on a heart rate chart
or have calculated using a heart rate equation.
While these num ers might e just right for a few people,
they are often inaccurate ecause they don't take into
account how you or your ody "feels".
Jay's input prompted NIKE to design the first monitor
that actually helps you make a connection etween how
you feel and how hard your heart is eating. Instead of just
"shooting for a num er," you will e a le to find the num ers
that are just right for you.
Used properly, the c6 watch can help you exercise
more efficiently, avoid over-training and measure
your progress and improvement.
Heart Rate Transmitter
Your Heart Rate Transmitter
reads the electrical impulses
of your heart and transmits
data to your watch. It is one
of the most accurate ways
to measure heart rate.
The Transmitter will function
automatically if it is worn
correctly within a meter of
the watch. The Transmitter
is ergonomically designed
to fit comforta ly during
all types of exercise.
ATTENTION: Anyone eginning an exercise
regimen for the first time (especially users
of pacemakers or other implanted devices)
should consult their physician or health
professional efore using the heart
rate monitor.

Completing the Heart Rate Zone Finder
A heart rate monitor is a great way to measure your exercise intensity in order to get results from your workout.
It is very important to learn which num ers are right for you.
The c6 watch is the first monitor with a Heart Rate Zone Finder. It helps you esta lish which num ers are easy (Z1),
medium (Z2), hard (Z3) and very hard (Z4) for you. It is a simple exercise test that takes just 15 minutes,
ut will ena le you to maximize the enefits of this watch, and learn more a out your fitness.
Simply workout at the effort level displayed on the watch for the specified period of time. The c6 then calculates
your personal zones ased upon the effort levels you achieved during the test. Rather than determining your zones
or num ers through an ar itrary heart rate chart or equation, the Zone Finder creates custom zones just for you.
As your fitness improves, you will find that
heart rates (or heart rate zones) that used to e
challenging will egin to feel easier, or you will
e a le to maintain each zone for a longer
period of time than efore.
We recommend you take the Zone Finder test
approximately every 30 days to check your
progress and improvement. Your watch will
even send you a reminder every 30 days
so you don't forget.
Follow steps through to complete
the Heart Rate Zone Finder.

... it feels harder than a warm-up, ut not uncomforta le.
... you could maintain this intensity for 20-40 minutes.
Exercise for 3 minutes at an effort that feels HARD..
... it is challenging and uncomforta le ut achieva le.
... it feels like a competitive pace that you could not do for very long.
... you could maintain this intensity for no more than 3-5 minutes.
Cool down for 2 minutes.

Choose your favorite indoor or outdoor cardio activity, like the exercise ike, stair clim er or running. You will do
3 exercise "sets" at varying intensities. Try to acquire the effort level requested y the watch. Try not to manipulate
your heart rate, ut rather simply try to maintain the effort level requested on the watch. The watch will take you through
the following protocol:

an alternate method for

Heart Rate Intensity Chart
We encourage you to use the Zone Finder (page 7) to determine your heart rate zones ecause it will provide you with
a very accurate correlation etween your heart rates and actual effort. However, if you do not wish to use the Zone Finder,
you may also use the following chart to input your heart rate zones. Please note this chart will not e accurate for everyone.

Troubleshooting
No heart rate displa ed on watch:
The grooved sensors may not e wet enough.
Wet and try again. It is recommended that you wear
the Heart Rate Transmitter directly against your skin.
If you are wearing the HR Transmitter over clothing,
try getting the clothing wet also.
The HR Transmitter may not e positioned correctly.
Make sure the grooved sensors are flat against the skin.
Heart rate reading on watch is erratic or stops:
You may need to replace the attery in the HR Transmitter.
Sources of electromagnetic fields like appliances,
computers and power lines can cause interference.
Change your location.
This product complies with EN60601-1-2
REDO ZONE FINDER displa ed after completing zone finder:
Your intensity increased too quickly or was erratic during
sections of the test or interference may have caused
inaccurate readings during the test.
Concentrate on maintaining a steady output during each
intensity level as you retry the test.
Watch displa is Frozen:
The display of your watch may "freeze" due to static
electricity or recent attery replacement. If this occurs,
press and hold all four uttons at the same time.
This will erase the data in the memory and allow you
to reset the watch to the factory settings.
Watch beeps continuousl :
If you have the zone alarm on and your heart rate does not
fall within any of your zones, the watch will eep to let you
know you are out of your zones. Press mode utton to exit
WRKOUT mode or turn off zone alarm. See page 9 or
instructions on how to turn o the zone alarm.
