Suunto t3c is a high-precision heart rate monitor designed to make your training as beneficial and enjoyable as possible. Suunto t3c provides heart rate zone training, accurately measures the calories you burn, and records your training history. It is a device that can grow with you as your fitness improves. [. . . ] Possible real life situation: Staying in the zone You want to have a good, tough training session today, so you set your heart rate limits to equal your Zone 3 limits and turn the heart rate limit alarm on. Your Suunto heart rate monitor notifies you when you go too slow, or push too hard!20 3. 6. 2 Heart rate zones Heart rate zones are defined as percentages of your maximum heart rate. Zone training is an established training method, so there are pre-set defaults as follows: Zone 1 (60-70%): fitness zone; improves basic fitness and is good for weight control. Zone 2 (70-80%): aerobic zone; improves aerobic fitness and is good for endurance training. Zone 3 (80-90%): threshold zone; improves aerobic and anaerobic capacity and is good for improving peak performance. If you are following a personal training program that uses zone training, enter the values defined by the program. NOTE: The zone defaults follow the guidelines of the American College of Sports Medicine for exercise prescription. In the HR ZONES menu, you can turn on the zone feature, define zone limits, and turn tones on or off. When the zones feature and the tones are turned on, your device alerts you with a beep when you move from one zone to another.

NOTE: Before you (re)pair your POD or belt, you need to first reset the device by removing the battery and putting it in backwards (positive side down). Then replace the battery normally. 25 TIP: If you have paired a Cadence POD, you can switch between speed and cadence as the main view in SPEED AND DISTANCE mode by keeping [View Back]pressed. 4. 2 Autolap and speed limits With the autolap feature, you can define laps in distance instead of time (interval training). When autolap is turned on (and your speed and distance POD is activated), your Suunto heart rate monitor shows total distance, average lap speed, and lap time for each lap. NOTE: When using the autolap feature, it is very important to calibrate your speed and distance POD accurately. Value on / off 0000 Description Autolap feature: on or off Distance: lap distance according to selected units in GENERAL settings To change autolap settings: 1. In SPEED AND DISTANCE mode, enter the menu (SET) and scroll with [Lap +] until you reach AUTOLAP. Enter the setting with [Mode] and set the value using [Lap +] and [Light -]. Accept the value and move to the next setting by pressing [Mode]. Like heart rate limits, you can turn on the speed limits feature and define the upper and lower speed limits for yourself. TIP: This includes an autopause feature that, when activated, will stop your session when very slow speed is detected while using your Suunto speed and distance POD. The session is reactivated when you speed up again. [. . . ] Visit the Suunto Web Shop (shop. suunto. com) to see what is available.
