CONTENTS

Information is power.

Your SDM Triax 100 watch is designed to tell you how fast and how far you

have run, and provide quick, one-touch access to a variety of critical

information during training and in competition.

Nike Techlab is proud to be the first to provide athletes with this revolu-

tionary new training tool. Never before has the technology been sufficient

for a runner to accurately determine their pace and distance. Using an

ultra-modern accelerometer technology combined with an RF (Radio

Frequency) transceiver, the SDM Triax 100 can provide speed and distance

information to runners that is more than 97% accurate.

This manual combines step-by-step operational instructions to help you

identify the programmable features and functions of each specific mode. It

is not the goal of this manual to provide all of the information necessary to

embark upon a training regimen. There are numerous books on the subject,

good information on the Internet, and professional trainers affiliated with

most health clubs. Remember, this speed and distance monitor is just one

part of an intelligent exercise plan.

Before beginning any exercise regimen, you should consult your physician

or health professional. There are numerous factors to consider when

determining your pace limits and exercise intensity level. Some of these

factors include your age, the frequency with which you exercise and your

overall physical fitness.

Throughout this manual, look for the symbol to identify especially

useful and important information.

We’ve tried to make this watch as easy as possible to use. Great care has

been taken to make the button functions consistent and clear. Even if you

don’t read the whole manual, you should be able to work your watch if you

understand, in general, how the buttons work.

BUTTON FUNCTIONS, LEFT SIDE

ADJUST/EXIT

Think of ADJUST/EXIT as the button to use when you want to adjust, set or

reset something. For example, if you want to adjust the time, or reset the

chronograph. This button is a little different than the other buttons

because you usually have to press and hold it for a few seconds. This is so

you don’t accidentally reset or adjust something.

MODE/NEXT

The MODE/NEXT button will normally move you to the next mode. When

you are making adjustments or setting something, the MODE/NEXT button

will move you to the next adjustable element.

GETTING STARTED

BUTTON FUNCTIONS, RIGHT SIDE

The buttons on the right hand side of the watch have more functions than

the buttons on the left side. For that reason, we’ve included all the details

for quick reference.

START/LAP

You can think of the START/LAP button as the “go,” “plus,” or “move

forward” button. It also functions as an on/off switch in some modes.

• In TIME mode, press to turn the chime on and off.

• In CHRON mode, press to start the chronograph and mark lap

completion.

• In TIMER mode, press to start the countdown timer.

• In GRAPH mode, press to move forward through the list of data points.

• In DATA mode, press to move forward through the list of data points.

• In ALARM mode, press to turn the alarm on and off.

• When making adjustments, press to advance the blinking element.

STOP

The STOP button is the opposite of the START/LAP button. Think of it as the

“stop,” “minus,” or “go backwards” button. This button will also allow you

to alternate selections in some modes.

• In TIME mode, press and hold to select time zone 1 or 2.

• In CHRON mode, press to stop the chronograph and save run data to

memory.

• In TIMER mode, press to stop the countdown timer.

• In ALARM mode, press to select alarm 1 or 2.

• In DATA mode, press to select run number.

• When making adjustments, press to reverse the blinking element.

ELECTROLITE BUTTON

The ELECTROLITE button is used to turn on the light.

If you press and hold the ELECTROLITE button, you can make the light come

on at the press of any button. It’s great for night use. We call it auto-

Electrolite.

You can attach the speed sensor to either sneaker. It is important to be

consistent in how you attach it. Make sure it is attached it to the laces

securely enough that there is no “wobble” when you are running. Finally,

it should be aligned with the foot and secured well enough that the

alignment does not change during a run.

1. Lace the speed sensor clip into your

sneakers before you attach the speed

sensor itself.

2. Then attach the speed sensor to the clip as

shown.

DIRECTIONS FOR NORMAL USE

Follow these instructions for normal use of the

speed sensor.

The speed sensor is equipped with a power

button. When not in use, store the speed sensor

with the power off to conserve battery life.

TURN POWER ON

Press the power button. A light will indicate

that the speed sensor is activated. The watch

will begin linking when it receives a signal

from the speed sensor. When running or

walking, your speed and distance information

is automatically transmitted to your watch.

TURN POWER OFF

Press and hold the power button. The light will

turn off, indicating that the power is off.

ATTACHING THE SPEED SENSOR TO YOUR SNEAKER

Attach sensor to clip as shown.

The core of the SDM Triax 100 watch technology is housed in a speed

sensor, which you attach to one sneaker. A patented technology calculates

your speed and distance and transmits that information to your watch. Of

course, you can always use your watch without the speed sensor as a

multi-function sport timepiece. When running or walking, your speed and

distance information is automatically transmitted to your watch.

FIRST USE SETUP

IMPORTANT

The first time you use the speed

sensor, when you change the watch

battery, or when you reset the watch

by pressing all buttons, you will have

to "train" the watch to recognize the

speed sensor. (Reset the watch when

you replace the speed sensor with a

new one or borrow a friend's speed

sensor.)

FIRST TIME USE: “Training” the

speed sensor to recognize the

watch

1. Proceed to RUN mode by

pressing MODE on the

watch until RUN appears.

* The watch will prompt you

to press and hold the

button on the speed sensor

when it recognizes that

there is a new speed sensor

present. “HOLD speed sensor

button” will be displayed on the watch.

2. When the speed sensor is off, press and hold the button until the

watch stops scrolling the message. The “training” takes just a few

seconds, after which, your Triax SDM is ready to use.

ABOUT ZONE TRAINING

You can set an upper and lower pace limit, and control the intensity of

your workout so that your pace stays within that limit. This is called “Zone

Training.” Zone training allows you to pace yourself more accurately, avoid

over-exertion and, in general, have a more targeted and therefore, more

productive workout.

Zone training is just one part of a structured fitness regimen. It is very

important that you train in a zone that is appropriate for your fitness level

and goals. Consult a doctor or health professional in order to determine

the best training zone for you.

The pace at which you run depends on your physical fitness and fitness

goals. The following describes the general benefits of training at various

intensity levels.

HIGH INTENSITY

Exercise at high intensity only if you are in excellent physical condition.

Exercise at this intensity to:

• increase your peak performance.

• accustom your body to competition-level performance.

• increase your tolerance to lactic acid.

MEDIUM INTENSITY

Exercise at this intensity to:

• increase cardiovascular health.

• improve endurance.

• lose weight.

LOW INTENSITY

Exercise at this intensity:

• after an injury.

• when beginning an exercise regimen.

• during recovery sessions.

• to improve overall health.

ADJUST RUN MODE DISPLAY

RUN mode features 3 display options.

Press START/LAP to select the display option that best

displays the information you need most.

PACE DISPLAY

• Shows a graphic display of your pace. If your pace is higher than

your upper limit, the word "HI" appears in the display with a . If

your pace is lower than your lower limit, the word “LO” appears in

the display with a .

DISTANCE DISPLAY

• Primary display shows your distance travelled in

miles or kilometers.

SPEED DISPLAY

• Primary display shows your speed in miles/hour or

kilometers/hour.

RESET THE DISPLAY

To reset the display at the very beginning of an exercise

session, press and hold ADJUST/EXIT for about 2

seconds. “HOLD to CLEAR” is displayed. The display

resets.

When the foot icon blinks, the watch is receiving a

signal and the display is activated.

SET ZONE LIMITS, PACE ALARM, UNITS AND CALIBRATION

Follow directions in Making Adjustments to Mode Settings to set zone

limits, activate an audible out-of-zone alarm, set units and calibrate the

speed sensor.

Note: Unit settings are also reflected in GRAPH and CHRONO modes.
