How to Use a C6 Nike Watch

The Nike Triax C6 is a handy tool for the avid or infrequent exerciser. In addition to monitoring your heart rate, the Triax C6 monitors the number of calories burn during your session, as well as the elapsed time of your exercise. The belt-style transmitter makes it ideal for running, jogging or walking, but it's also effective for other types of exercise.

Difficulty:

Moderately Easy

Instructions

1. Prepare for your session as you normally would. Retrieve the Nike Triax C6. Connect the back ends (opposite of the transmitter) together using the plastic tabs. Wrap the transmitter belt around your torso. It should be directly against your skin, right beneath your breast plate. Make sure the transmitter is fairly snug; tighten it if necessary. Apply water generously to the back part of the transmitter. According to Nike, this allows the transmitter to better pick up your pulse.

2. Place the Nike Triax C6 watch on your wrist. The watch receives and displays the information sent by the transmitter. Press the "Mode" button on the left side of the watch to begin setting your calorie configuration. Press the "Set" button when the screen shows "Wkout." Press the "Start" button, and then select your gender, height, weight and age.

3. Press the "Start" button on the watch to begin the workout, and then begin your run, jog, walk or other exercise session.

4. Monitor the watch to view your heart rate. Press the button beneath "View" to switch the display. Press the button repeatedly to switch between "Heart Rate," "Calories" and "Time."
