Suunto t3 Heart Rate Monitor User Manual


 
5
1. Turn the Foot POD on. Set your heart rate monitor to Training mode and
Connect the Foot POD with it.
2. Start running at your usual pace. When you cross the starting line, start the
stopwatch.
3. Run a distance of 800–1000 m (about 0.500–0.700 miles) at your usual pace.
(e.g. two laps on a 400m track).
4. Stop the stopwatch when you reach the finish line.
5. In your Suunto t3 or Suunto t4, select Calibrate in Speed and Distance
mode settings.
In your Suunto t6, select Calibrate in the Speed/Distance menu.
6. Select Foot POD.
7. Adjust the measured distance (e.g. 0.988 km) to the real covered distance
(e.g. 1.000 km) with UP/DOWN and press ENTER to finish the calibration.
8. The device calculates and displays the calibration factor on the second row of
the display. Alternatively, you can provide the calibration factor manually
using the UP/DOWN buttons.
NOTE: If you are training at different paces, you will reach the best accuracy by
using different calibration factors for slow and fast running. For marathons, we
recommend calibrating the Foot POD at your target marathon pace.
3.5. REPLACING THE BATTERY
When the battery has enough power, the
LED on the Foot POD blinks twice per
second (Figure 1). When the battery level
is low, the LED blinks continuously (Fig-
ure 2). When the battery level is low, or
the battery life significantly differs from
the operational times mentioned in this
manual, you need to replace the battery.
NOTE: For more information on estimated battery life expectancy, see section
5. Technical Specifications. There may be differences in the operation time of
Suunto Foot POD depending on type of battery, operating temperature and use.
NOTE: If you switch on the Foot POD in room temperature and take it out to the
cold, battery consumption will increase. If the battery is already low, this may
result in it emptying quickly.
To replace the battery:
1. Remove the pod from the cover.
2. Open the battery compartment cover with a coin.
3. Remove the old battery.
4. Replace the battery and close the battery compartment.
5. Insert the pod back inside the cover.
NOTE: Replace the battery with extreme care to ensure that your Foot POD
remains water-resistant. Careless battery replacement may void warranty.
