User manual SUUNTO FOOT POD

[. . . ] NOTE: Suunto Foot POD does not get an accurate reading with activities involving fast acceleration, turns, jumps, side steps and abrupt halts, for example racquet sports. NOTE: The heart rate monitor functions related to the use of your Suunto Foot POD are explained in the individual Suunto t3, t4 and t6 instruction manuals. You can download the latest version of the manuals at www. suunto. com/training. EN 2. PAIRING YOUR FOOT POD Before you can use your Suunto Foot POD, you have to pair it with your Suunto heart rate monitor. [. . . ] You need to establish the connection every time you want to use your heart rate monitor with your Foot POD. In your Suunto t3 or Suunto t4, enter Training mode or start the stopwatch. Suunto t3 or Suunto t4: If the connection fails, the message "Searching" disappears from the bottom row of the display and the selected shortcut returns. Suunto t6: If the connection fails, "NO DEVICES FOUND" is displayed on the screen. In this case, ensure that the Foot POD is active and try again. 3. 4. CALIBRATION To ensure that your measurements are accurate, you must first calibrate the Foot POD using your heart rate monitor. Perform the calibration on an accurately measured course, for instance on a 400m running track. 4 1. Set your heart rate monitor to Training mode and Connect the Foot POD with it. Run a distance of 800­1000 m (about 0. 500­0. 700 miles) at your usual pace. In your Suunto t3 or Suunto t4, select Calibrate in Speed and Distance mode settings. 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 (Figure 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. 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. NOTE: Replace the battery with extreme care to ensure that your Foot POD remains water-resistant.
