The SIM-P Monitor is not a medical device. It
is an impact level monitor only. It is designed
to measure and report the magnitude of
acceleration resulting from impacts to the
human head, expressed in units of G-Force or
g’s (the acceleration of gravity at the earth’s
surface). Severe head impacts can cause
serious physical injury or concussion, but
the data reported by the SIM-P cannot by
itself diagnose this. SIM-P impact data cannot
substitute for medical advice, or for the timely
examination of a qualified doctor, healthcare
professional or athletic trainer.
Sports involving contact expose players to
serious personal injuries including brain
damage, paralysis or death.
The human tolerance for sudden intense
acceleration to the head and body varies
according to many factors. Whether an
athlete will sustain a concussion or other
head injury from any given impact suered
Disclaimers, precautionary
information and warnings
on the playing field can depend upon the
precise location of the physical contact, the
angle of the blow, the instantaneous posture
of the body at the moment of impact, the
athlete’s physical condition, and even the
athlete’s injury history. The SIM-P cannot
evaluate all of these factors. In the event that
you should receive a serious head impact
such that you feel impaired in any way, then,
regardless of the reading reported by your
SIM-P monitor, the most prudent practice
would be to immediately remove yourself
from play and seek medical attention from a
qualified service provider.
Symptoms of concussion or other injury
to the head may appear even though a
measured impact falls below the SIM-
programmed threshold levels. *Remember,
regardless of whether the SIM-P reports
a head impact, an athlete can receive a
concussion or other head injury at any time
during sports-related physical contact.
Symptoms of concussion or other head injury
may include headache, nausea, dizziness,
unstable vision, disorientation, confusion,
or simply a individual’s sense that he “does
not feel right” or that something is physically
wrong. If you should experience any of these
symptoms after suering a head impact,
do not return to play until after you have
received consent from a trained medical
professional. It is important to remember that
sudden intense contact to the head in any
sport may produce a concussion or other
head injuries which no helmet system can
currently prevent and no impact sensing
device can currently predict or diagnose.

www.triaxtec.com.
WARNING: READ YOUR MANUAL! Read and
understand the contents of the SIM-P User Manual.
It is critical to follow these instructions regarding
the use and maintenance of the device. You
are responsible for ensuring that the device is
functioning properly before and during use. Failure
to follow the User Manual instructions may cause
the device to fail to perform as designed, which
could result in failure to alert you to substantial or
cumulative impacts.
* The SIM-P device uses a g-force measurement
to gauge severity of impact. Our recommended
threshold levels have been derived from peer
to peer approved research reports. For more
information on the research studies that SIM-P
references, please contact [email protected].

Thank you for purchasing the Triax
Technologies Smart Impact Monitor, or SIM-P.
While the long-term eects of head impacts
are still being studied, it may be critically
important to measure, record and report these
events as they happen, and store results for
later analysis.
The Triax Technologies SIM-P is a lightweight,
highly sensitive impact sensing and reporting
device, intended for using during sports and
related activities where there is a possibility of
head impact injury.
The SIM-P module may be comfortably
worn during sports activities using either
a headband or skullcap style holder. It
will record all impacts and accelerations
greater than a pre-programmed set-point. All
measurements are transmitted in real time to
the Triax app via Bluetooth connection.
The SIM-P is completely self-contained and
battery powered. The battery lasts about
9 hours.
Stay tuned for new product features and
updates on TriaxTec.com.
SIM-P Overview

Carefully unpack your SIM-P, headband/skullcap, and optional charging dock.
The SIM-P is an environmentally sealed device, designed to be sweat and impact resistant.
There is a single LED status indicator (capable of red/green/amber indications), and a single
pushbutton.

Prior to its first use, the SIM-P should be charged for a minimum of 2
hours (using only the Triax-supplied charging dock). The SIM-P must be
paired to a mobile device before it will record impact events.
Press the button and hold it down until the
LED indicator illuminates.
The LED indicator will show the current
battery status. Release the button as soon as
the LED indicator illuminates.

every 10 seconds with the battery state when
it is synced.
Note: Once the SIM-P is turned on, it will
automatically attempt to communicate with the
Triax mobile app. The LED will periodically flash
briefly (colors as noted below) indicating wireless
communications activity. If the button is pressed
during normal operation it will rapidly flash yellow/
amber to indicate a button-press.

After you have turned on your SIM-P, carefully insert the SIM-P into the
pocket designed into the headband (or skullcap), as shown:
The headband (or skullcap) must be worn correctly to ensure accurate
and consistent impact measurements. It should be worn so that the
enclosed SIM-P sensor module is positioned at the back of the head
and at the base of the skull, as shown below. For proper wear, the
green on the Triax logo should be toward the ground and the blue on
the logo should be toward the sky.
Important handling notes:
The SIM-P is sealed against moisture and
perspiration that would be present during
typical use. It is NOT designed to withstand
a trip through a typical washing-machine or
clothes-dryer cycle, and these activities will
invalidate the warranty.
Do not clean or soak the SIM in rubbing
alcohol, as this may lead to damaging the SIM
and voiding your warranty.

Download the Triax app on your compatible mobile device. Once the
SIM-P is powered on and Bluetooth is enabled on your compaible
mobile device, open the Triax app. The first time you turn on the SIM-P,
an orange light will blink to show that it is in pairing mode. The app
will automatically attempt to establish a connection between the Triax
mobile app and your SIM-P device. The app will list all SIM-P devices
within a 35 foot range and allow you to select which SIM-P device is
yours to pair.

Turning off your SIM-P
To charge your SIM-P, first insert the SIM into
the USB adapor. Then, either plug the USB
adaptor into a powered USB port, or plug the
USB adaptor into the Triax supplied wall plug.
Note that the SIM-P will only fit into the USB
adaptor one way, with the charging contacts
facing downward into the charging dock.
Charging your SIM-P
The SIM-P must be charged using only the Triax-supplied charging USB and dock:

Note: It is safe to leave the SIM-P charging
indefinitely. This will not overcharge or harm the
internal battery.
Charging your SIM-P (Continued)
Note: The SIM-P does not need to be turned o
before charging. The SIM-P will not transmit to the
base monitoring station while charging.
Note: Once the SIM-P is fully charged (LED is flashing
green) simply remove it from the charger. It will
automatically enter the o state.
