INSTALLATION
Strap Mounting
Use the provided strap mount to attach your Speed-
Coach GPS to a rigger, foot stretcher or any other
convenient fixed location in any boat you row. The mount
base rotates to allow you to install the strap vertically or
horizontally.
SpeedCoach Harness Dock Mounting
If your boat is equipped with a SpeedCoach harness,
you can mount your unit on the dock. Your Speed-
Coach GPS will always use its internal accelerometer
to calculate stroke rate so a working seat switch and magnet
are not necessary. If an impeller is present, you have
the option to select “Impeller” for speed and distance
input. Otherwise, the harness dock will serve as a
secure holder and your unit will use its internal GPS
receiver to calculate speed and distance.
SpeedCoach Heart Rate Monitor*
The heart rate
SMART (LE)
monitor belt connects to your
unit via
Bluetooth
® technology and adjust the strap to fit
your body snugly. Attach belt across the lower portion of
your chest, as shown in the figure to the right. To pair your
strap to your unit, please see Setup Menu option.

BATTERY USE AND CHARGING
A fully charged battery will provide approximately 6-8 hours of operation, depending on backlight
use. Each bar on the battery indicator represents 20% of battery life, or approximately 1.2 to 1.6
hours.
To charge your unit, press it firmly into the charging dock of your SpeedCoach GPS charger until
it clicks and you see “Charging ...” on the screen. The battery indicator will flash and the bars will
indicate the charge status achieved. The battery indicator will show full and stop flashing after 90%
charge is achieved, and the display will turn off when the unit is fully charged.
The SpeedCoach GPS can only be charged with the supplied charging dock. The SpeedCoach GPS
is compatible with any USB charging source, including your computer an automotive USB or a cell-
phone standby power source. A SpeedCoach® XL charger will not charge a SpeedCoach GPS.
Your SpeedCoach is equipped with a safety feature that will shut down charging if the
battery is too hot or too cold. Do not charge below 32°F | 0°C or above 115°F | 45°C. If
you receive a battery warning on the screen while the unit is within these temperature
limits, immediately remove the unit from the charging dock and contact NK for
service. Further attempts to charge may result in fire or permanent damage.
