The Suunto t1 is a high-precision heart rate monitor designed to make your training as beneficial and enjoyable as possible. Suunto t1 makes heart rate zone training more illustrative than ever before, accurately measures the calories you burn during the workout, and keeps track of your training history. It also includes a number of advanced training functions that enable the product to grow with your increasing demands. [. . . ] This is the preferred zone if you are training for an endurance event. Improves your maximum aerobic capacity, and lactate tolerance ability - meaning your maximum endurance will improve and you'll be able to fight fatigue better. Zone 1 60 - 70% of maximum heart (Fitness Zone) rate Zone 2 70 - 80% of maximum heart (Aerobic Zone) rate Zone 3 (Threshold Zone) 80 - 90% of maximum heart rate NOTE The heart rate zone defaults follow the guidelines of the American College of Sports Medicine for exercise prescription. The device alerts you with a beep when you move from one zone to another so you can modify your training accordingly. Above zone 3 Zone 3 Zone 2 Zone 1 Below zone 1 When the Zone tone is on, Suunto t1 beeps when your heart rate moves from one zone to another, rises above zone 3 or drops below zone 1. The average heart rate is also a useful measure during training where the heart rate levels vary a lot, such as biking in hilly terrain. In these cases, the target zone limits are less practical than the average heart rate. Time/date settings In the Time/date menu, you can set the alarm, time, dual time, and date.

For tips on how to maximize the effectiveness of your training, download Suunto Training Guidebook from www. suunto. com/training. 3. 1. Connecting your Suunto t1 to the heart rate transmitter belt Whenever you enter Training mode, your Suunto t1 automatically searches for signals from a heart rate belt. Once Suunto t1 has found the signals from your heart rate transmitter belt, your heart rate will be displayed in the center of the screen. 18 After switching to Training mode, Suunto t1 displays two bars while it is seeking the HR belt signal. Instead of your heart rate, "00" is shown in the center of the display if no heart rate belt is found. 3. 2. Stopwatch The stopwatch is activated by short pressing the START button in Training mode. The information from the training that you time with the stopwatch, such as heart rate and calorie consumption, is stored and can later be seen in Totals and Summary. Therefore, you should activate the stopwatch, and ensure you have a heart rate reading, whenever you start a training session. Pressing the START/STOP button starts the stopwatch and calculation of amount of calories consumed. Pressing the START/STOP button again stops the stopwatch. 19 While the stopwatch is running, you can take up to 99 lap times, the first 30 of which are stored in the memory, by short pressing the UP button. Pressing the UP button, when the stopwatch is running, stores the split time and displays it in the top row of the Suunto t1. This number indicates the ongoing lap. When the stopwatch has been stopped, you can either view the Summary of the most recent session or reset the stopwatch, as shown in the figure below. Resetting the stopwatch does not reset the Summary. Pressing the UP button when the stopwatch is stopped takes you to the Summary display. 2 se c Long pressing the UP button when the stopwatch is stopped resets the stopwatch. Resetting the stopwatch doesn't reset the summary. If your heart rate in the most recent session exceeded the maximum heart rate defined in Personal settings, Suunto t1 will ask if you want to update your maximum heart rate value after resetting the stopwatch. 20 If you want to update your maximum heart rate, press the DOWN button. [. . . ] This will ensure the safety and reliability of the pacemaker and transmitter belt when used simultaneously. Exercise may include some risk, especially for those who have been sedentary.
