How It Works

The Speed and Distance Monitor
uses information from 24 GPS
satellites to accurately and
continuously calculate your speed
and distance. That information is
then transmitted to the Ironman*
Triathlon

®

Speed & Distance Watch.

The Ironman* Triathlon®Speed and Distance Watch receives and
displays your speed and distance right on your watch.

Operating the Speed and Distance Transceiver

Inserting the Batteries

The Speed and Distance Monitor operates on three AAA batteries (included).
To insert the batteries, open the caseback by lifting and turning the latch ring a
quarter (1/4) turn counterclockwise. Lift the caseback off. Follow the markings
inside the battery compartment to ensure the new batteries are properly aligned.

Wearing the Speed and Distance Transceiver

• For best results, the Transceiver needs a clear
view of the sky.

• The Transceiver can be worn on the upper arm
or clipped to your waist. The upper arm will
provide the best results.

• The Watch should be worn so it is always within
1 meter (about 3 feet) of the Transceiver.

• Clothing can be worn over the Transceiver as
long as the clothing is dry and without metal.

To wear the Transceiver on your upper arm:

Loosen adjustable armband and wrap the unit around your upper arm. Pull
armband so that it fits snugly around your arm and fasten using hook and
loop closure.

NOTE: if the armband is not attached to the unit, rethread with
the caseback removed from the unit as shown below, making sure the
smooth side faces out (hook and loop closure faces caseback).
