Suunto T6 Heart Rate Monitor User Manual

1. GENERAL INFORMATION
Suunto t6 is your personal tool for better performance in sports. It measures the time
between your heartbeats with the accuracy of milliseconds and records it for deeper
analysis. The Suunto Training Manager PC software uses the heart rate variation
data to analyze the effect of your training and to calculate several other body
parameters. Relating this information with your current fitness level, the software also
indicates the scale of training load that you need for different training effects.
For the first time in field conditions, Suunto t6 tells you whether your training really
improves your condition and helps you adjust your training programs accordingly.
When you set the target effect for your training, you can use the software to calculate
the time and heart rate to reach it. During a training session, Suunto t6 helps you
reach the target by offering several control functions, such as heart rate limits, real
time average heart rate, and a customizable display of stopwatch, lap time, interval
timer and altitude. Together with versatile timing, altimeter and logbook functions this
makes Suunto t6 a perfect performance monitor for all kinds of sports at all
performance levels.
Suunto t6 can be upgraded with different wireless accessories, such as speed and
distance sensors.
These ANT accessories and the Suunto t6 heart rate belt communicate digitally on
2.4 GHz radio frequency. This offers several benefits, such as improved transmission
capacity, error-free 2-way transmission and range up to 10 m / 33 ft. Conventional
heart rate monitoring devices use inductive low frequency communication methods.
Therefore other heart rate belts are not compatible with Suunto t6.
