Triax c6 User Information

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 number" they have seen on a heart rate chart
or have calculated using a heart rate equation.

While these numbers might be just right for a few people,
they are often inaccurate because they don't take into
account how you or your body "feels".

Jay's input prompted NIKE to design the first monitor
that actually helps you make a connection between how
you feel and how hard your heart is beating. Instead of just
"shooting for a number," you will be able to find the numbers
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 comfortably during
all types of exercise.

ATTENTION: Anyone beginning an exercise
regimen for the first time (especially users
of pacemakers or other implanted devices)
should consult their physician or health
professional before 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 numbers are right for you.

The c6 watch is the first monitor with a Heart Rate Zone Finder. It helps you establish which numbers are easy (Z1),
medium (Z2), hard (Z3) and very hard (Z4) for you. It is a simple exercise test that takes just 15 minutes,
but will enable you to maximize the benefits of this watch, and learn more about 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 based upon the effort levels you achieved during the test. Rather than determining your zones
or numbers through an arbitrary 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 be
challenging will begin to feel easier, or you will
be able to maintain each zone for a longer
period of time than before.

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.

Auto-Scroll through Zones 1-4.
The zones each have an upper and lower
limit based on your average heart rate
from each of the above segments.

Exercise for 5 minutes at an effort that feels EASY...

... it feels like you are warming-up.
... you feel at-ease and non-challenged.
... you could maintain this intensity for 30-60 minutes.

Exercise for 5 minutes at an effort that feels MEDIUM...

... it is challenging, but comfortable.
... it feels harder than a warm-up, but not uncomfortable.
... you could maintain this intensity for 20-40 minutes.

Exercise for 3 minutes at an effort that feels HARD..

... it is challenging and uncomfortable but achievable.
... 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 bike, stair climber or running. You will do
3 exercise "sets" at varying intensities. Try to acquire the effort level requested by the watch. Try not to manipulate
your heart rate, but rather simply try to maintain the effort level requested on the watch. The watch will take you through
the following protocol:

Note: On page 13 you will find
an alternate method for
determining your heart rate zones.

Heart Rate Intensity Chart

We encourage you to use the Zone Finder (page 7) to determine your heart rate zones because it will provide you with
a very accurate correlation between 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 be accurate for everyone.

Max Heart Rate

Moderate Intensity
(70-80% of Max HR)

Exercise in this range to develop
endurance and prepare your
muscles to make the transition
from aerobic to anaerobic.
You should be able to maintain
this for a while. You should not
be completely breathless and
this should not hurt.

Heavy Intensity
(80-90% of Max HR)

Exercise in this range
to increase muscle strength
and improve your anaerobic
threshold. This is uncomfortable.
You should be breathing very
heavily. You should only be able
to sustain this for a brief time.

Maximum Intensity
(90-100% of Max HR)

Exercise in this range to increase
mental toughness, Max V02 and
tolerance to lactic acid. This is
very uncomfortable. You can
barely sustain it. You should be
completely breathless. Do not
exercise at this intensity except
on the advice of a trained
medical professional.

Troubleshooting

No heart rate displayed on watch:

The grooved sensors may not be 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 be 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 battery 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 displayed 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 display is Frozen:

The display of your watch may "freeze" due to static
electricity or recent battery replacement. If this occurs,
press and hold all four buttons 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 continuously:

If you have the zone alarm on and your heart rate does not
fall within any of your zones, the watch will beep to let you
know you are out of your zones. Press mode button to exit
WRKOUT mode or turn off zone alarm. See page 9 for

instructions on how to turn off the zone alarm.

Two-Year Limited Warranty

Your NIKE watch is warranted to be free of defects in materials or workmanship,
under normal use, for a period of two years from the date of delivery. This limited
warranty excludes the battery, crystal, strap, or damage resulting from improper
care or handling, accidents, modification, unauthorized repairs or normal wear.

Return the defective watch and the store receipt to the place of purchase.
If there is a covered defect, you have the option to have the defective parts or
watch repaired or replaced with the same product (if available) or a similar
product of equal price. However, NIKE reserves the right to refuse either repair
or replacement (but not both) if the cost of doing so would be disproportionate
to the defect.

This limited warranty is in place of all other express warranties, and excludes
refund of the purchase price. Any implied warranties, including merchantability
and fitness for a particular purpose, are limited to the duration of this limited
warranty. In no event shall NIKE be liable for direct, indirect, incidental or
consequential damages arising out of the use of the watch, and any recovery is
limited to the purchase price. No other person or company is authorized to
change this limited warranty, and your dealer is solely responsible for any
other warranties.

For U.S. Purchasers: Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implie
warranty lasts, or exclusions of incidental or consequential damages, so the above
limitations may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and
you may also have other rights which vary from state to state.

The foregoing is without prejudice to other legal rights that may arise
under applicable national legislation.

For non-warranty service like battery or strap replacement,
