LIMITED TWO-YEAR WARRANTY
NK warrants your SpeedCoach SUP and accessories to be free of defects in materi-
als and workmanship for two years. NK will repair or replace your SpeedCoach SUP
when notified within the warranty period, and will return the product via domestic
ground shipping or NK’s choice of method of international shipping at no charge.
The following issues do not result from a manufacturing defect and are not cov-
ered under this warranty:
• Damage due to improper use or neglect (including corrosion).
• Damage resulting from severe impact, crushing or mechanical harm.
• Modifications, alterations or attempted repairs by someone other than an
authorized NK repair agent.
• Water damage resulting from exposure to water after product enclosure has
been visibly damaged and/or failure to return product for service promptly
after product enclosure has been compromised.
• Normal wear and tear.
• Reduction in capacity of rechargeable battery normal for its age and/or
number of charge/discharge cycles.
• Damage resulting from corrosion or leakage of batteries due to improper
storage or charging.
Except for the warranties set forth herein, NK disclaims all other warranties,
expressed, implied or statutory, including, but not limited to, the implied
warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. Any implied
warranties that may be imposed by applicable law are limited to the term
of this warranty. In no event shall NK be liable for any incidental, special or
consequential damages, including, but not limited to, loss of business, loss of
profits, loss of data or use, whether in an action in contract or tort or based on
a warranty, arising out of or in connection with the use or performance of an
NK product, even if NK has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
You agree that repair, and (upon availability) replacement, as applicable, is your
sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any breach of the NK Limited Warranty
set forth herein. All product liability and warranty options are governed exclusively
by the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
IMPORTANT:
If you become aware that your product is no longer waterproof –
either due to a severe impact or a visible product defect that has developed – stop
using it IMMEDIATELY and return it to NK for repair. In many instances, we can
repair the product if returned promptly. However, exposure to moisture for any
length of time will cause permanent and irreparable damage to electronic compo-
nents and void your warranty.
Register your SpeedCoach SUP!
Your warranty period will be measured from the date of your purchase if it can
be proven, or from the date of manufacture if it cannot be. The best way for you
to ensure full warranty coverage is to REGISTER your product promptly under the
support section of NK’s website. We keep your registration information in strict
confidence and do not sell it, share it or use it for anything but product-related
information bulletins (which you may decline receiving).
BATTERY USE AND CHARGING
A fully charged battery will provide approximately 6-8 hours of operation, depend-
ing 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 SUP
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 indica-
tor 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 SUP can only be charged with the supplied charging dock. The
SpeedCoach SUP is compatible with any USB charging source, including your
computer or a cell-phone standby power source.
Your SpeedCoach SUP contains a lithium-ion poly battery pack. Lithium-ion
batteries contain flammable liquid electrolyte that may vent, ignite and
produce sparks when subjected to high temperatures or when damaged or
overcharged. If ignited, batteries may burn rapidly with a flare effect and may
produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases, including toxic hydrogen
fluoride gas, which may cause dizziness or suffocation. Contact with battery
electrolyte may be irritating to skin, eyes and mucous membranes.
• Do not ever subject to fire or temperatures above 140°F | 60°C. NOTE: A
car in hot sunlight may exceed these temperatures!
• Do not charge, use, transport or store above 115°F | 45°C.
• Do not charge below 32°F| 0°C.
• Do not puncture or open the unit.
• If the unit’s internal battery pack is damaged, avoid contact with
battery electrolyte, which may be irritating to skin, eyes and mucous
membranes.
• In case of battery fire, evacuate the area to avoid inhalation of fumes. If
possible, cover the battery with sand to extinguish the fire or use a dry
ABC- type extinguisher.

SPECIFICATIONS
GPS FUNCTION AND ACCURACY
Your SpeedCoach SUP employs a high-precision 5-Hz GPS receiver. This means it
receives GPS position and speed data from the GPS satellites 5 times a second. This
update rate, which is five times that of any running watch on the market, is neces-
sary to provide the data density for accurate stroke-by-stroke paddling speed. Your
GPS receiver’s performance is dependent upon having an unobstructed view of
the sky. After passing under a low or wide bridge, you are likely to notice erratic
speed data for a stroke or two. Your unit will return to accurate values as soon as
it has re-established good satellite signal. A higher setting for speed-smoothing
strokes will dampen both the initial error and the return to valid readings. Note that
your total distance, elapsed time and average speed will not be affected by these
few strokes of erratic speed readings. You may also notice slightly degraded speed
performance (less stable readings) on extremely overcast days.
The GPS receiver provides speed accuracy of +/- 0.1 m/s, which translates to +/- 3
seconds at a 2:00 /500M split pace. Distance accuracy is +/- 2.5M over any distance.
