The Suunto t3 is a high-precision heart rate monitor designed to make your training as efficient and enjoyable as possible. Suunto t3 goes beyond conventional heart rate monitors by showing Training Effect (TE). Training Effect tells you in real time how much a workout improves your condition. [. . . ] Speed settings In the Speed menu, you can set the speed limit on or off and define the upper and lower speed limits. 2. 5. 3. Calibrate settings In the Calibrate menu, you can calibrate your Suunto Foot POD or Suunto Bike POD. An alternative way of calibrating your POD is to run or cycle a known distance, say 10 km, using the POD. If you do not reset the stopwatch after completing the distance, you can correct the distance shown, for example 9. 6 km, from the settings. The device will then update the calibration value accordingly. The GPS POD is also listed in the Calibrate menu but the calibration has no effect on the GPS POD measurements. You will need this calibration only if you have, for instance, two Bike PODs for different bikes. You can then pair one of them as GPS POD and use the calibration in the same way as you normally would with Bike POD. 2. 5. 4. Wireless speed and distance PODs Optional wireless speed and distance PODs are light, easy-to-use, and accurate. Since the devices (Suunto Foot POD, Suunto Bike POD, and Suunto GPS POD) differ from each other, they come with separate user's guides, which you should read for more detailed information on their use. When you have paired and calibrated a speed and distance POD with your Suunto t3, you can take advantage of the Speed and Distance mode, as well as speed and distance-related control functions and information. 27 3. Putting on the heart rate transmitter belt The heart rate transmitter belt is an integral part of Suunto t3's functionality, so it's important that you know how to wear it correctly. We recommend that you wear the transmitter against your bare skin to ensure flawless operation. · The electrodes must be wet during the exercise. Raise the transmitter a little off your chest and moisten the electrode area on the side in contact with your skin. · Check that the wet electrode areas are firmly against your skin and that the logo is in a central upright position. (Your heart rate will not be visible until you enter Training mode. ) Whenever you enter Training mode or start the stopwatch, your Suunto t3 automatically searches for signals from a heart rate belt or paired speed and distance POD. 28 After switching to Training mode, Suunto t3 displays "HR" while it is seeking the HR belt signal. Instead of your heart rate, "HR" is shown in the center of the display if no heart rate belt is found. Once the device has found the signals, your heart rate or speed and distance information will be displayed in the center of the screen. NOTE For detailed instructions on how to pair and calibrate your optional speed and distance POD, please refer to the POD's own user's guide. 3. 2.
