aect heart rate
•
The watch must be worn directly against your skin. No clothing, however thin, can be between the sensor and your skin.
•
The watch may need to be higher on your arm than where watches are normally worn. The sensor reads blood
•
Arm movements and
flow through tissue. The more tissue it can read, the better.
flexing muscles, such as gripping a tennis racket, can change the
accuracy of the sensor readings.
•
When your heart rate is low, the sensor may not be able to provide stable readings. A short warm up of a few minutes before you start the recording helps.
•
Skin pigmentation and tattoos may block light and prevent reliable readings from the optical sensor.
•
The optical sensor may not provide accurate heart rate readings for swimming activities.
•
For highest accuracy and quickest responses to changes in your heart rate, we recommend using a compatible chest heart rate sensor such as Suunto Smart Sensor.
WARNING: Optical heart rate sensor technology is currently not as accurate or reliable as measuring heart rate from the chest. Your actual heart rate may be higher or lower than the optical sensor reading.

3. Features

3.1. Activity monitoring

Your watch keeps track of your overall activity level throughout the day. This is an important factor whether you just aim to be fit and healthy or you are training for an upcoming competition.
It is good to be active, but when training hard, you need to have proper rest days with low activity.
The activity counter automatically resets at midnight every day. At the end of the week (Sunday), the watch provides a summary of your activity showing your average for the week and daily totals.
From the watch face display, swipe up or press the lower button to see your total steps for the day.
Your watch counts steps using an accelerometer. The total step count accumulates 24/7, also while recording training sessions and other activities. However, with some specific sports, such as swimming and cycling, steps are not counted.
In addition to steps, you can tap on the display to see estimated calories for the day.
The large number in the center of the display is the estimated amount of active calories you have burned so far during the day. Below this you see the total calories burned. The total includes both active calories and your Basal Metabolic Rate (see below).
The ring in both displays indicates how close you are to your daily activity goals. These targets can be adjusted to your personal preferences (see below)
You can also check your steps over the last seven days with a swipe to the left. Swipe left or press the middle button again to see calories consumption.
Swipe up to check your activity over the last seven days in numbers instead of a graph.
13
Activity goals
You can adjust your daily goals for both steps and calories. While in the activity display, tap and hold your finger on the screen or keep the middle button pressed to open the activity goal settings.
When setting your steps goal, you define the total number of steps for the day.
The total calories you burn per day is based on two factors: your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) and your physical activity.
Your BMR is the amount of calories your body burns while at rest. These are the calories your body needs to stay warm and perform basic function like blink your eyes or beat your heart. This number is based on your personal profile, including factors such as age and gender.
When you set a calorie goal, you your BMR. These are your so-called active calories. The ring around the activity display advances according to how many active calories you burn during the day compared to your goal.

3.1.1. Instant HR

The instant heart rate (HR) display provides a quick snapshot of your heart rate.
From the watch face view, swipe up or press the lower button to scroll to the HR display.
Swipe down or press the upper button to exit the display and return to the watch face view.

3.1.2. Daily HR

The daily HR display provides a 12-hour view of your heart rate. This is a helpful source of information about, for example, your recovery after a hard training session.
The display shows your heart rate over 12 hours as a graph. The graph is plotted using your average heart rate based on 24-minute time slots. In addition, by swiping up or pressing the lower button, you get an estimation of your average hourly calorie consumption rate and your lowest heart rate during the 12-hour period.
Your minimum heart rate from the last 12 hours is a good indicator of your recovery state. If it is higher than normal, you probably are not yet fully recovered from your last training session.
14
If you record an exercise, the daily HR values reflect the elevated heart rate and calorie consumption from your training. But keep in mind that the graph and consumption rates are averages. If your heart rate peaks at 200 bpm while exercising, the graph does not show that maximum value, but rather the average from the 24 minutes during which you hit that peak rate.
Before you can see the daily HR display values, you need to activate the daily HR feature. You can toggle the feature on or o from the settings under Activity. If you are in the daily HR display, you can also access the activity settings by keeping the middle button pressed.
With the daily HR feature on, your watch activates the optical heart rate sensor on a regular basis to check your heart rate. This slightly increases battery power consumption.
Once activated, your watch needs 24 minutes before it can start display daily HR information.
To view daily HR:
1. From the watch face view, swipe up or press the lower button to scroll to the HR display.
2. Swipe left to enter the daily HR display.
3. Swipe up or press the lower button to see your calorie consumption.

3.2. Airplane mode

Activate airplane mode when needed to turn deactivate airplane mode from the settings under Connectivity.
NOTE: To pair anything with your device, you need to first turn o airplane mode if you
have it on.

3.3. Autopause

Autopause pauses the recording of your exercise when your speed is less than 2 km/h (1.2 mph). When your speed increases to more than 3 km/h (1.9 mph), the recording continues automatically.
You can turn autopause on/o for each sport mode the sport mode settings in the watch before you start your exercise recording.

If autopause is on during a recording, a pop-up notifies you when the recording is paused automatically.
Tap the resume pop-up to check the current time and battery level.
You can let the recording resume automatically when you start moving again, or manually resume from the pop-up screen by pressing the upper button.

3.4. Backlight

The backlight has two modes: automatic and toggle. In automatic mode, the backlight comes on with any screen touch or button press.
In toggle mode, you turn the backlight on with a you tap with two fingers again.
By default, the backlight is in automatic mode. You can change the backlight mode as well as the backlight brightness from the settings under General » Backlight.
NOTE: Backlight brightness aects battery life. The brighter the backlight is, the quicker
the battery drains.
two-finger tap. The backlight stays on until
Standby backlight
When you are not actively using the watch by touching the screen or pressing buttons, the watch goes into a standby mode after one minute. The display is on, but in some low-light conditions, the screen might not be easily readable.
To improve readability in low-light conditions, you can use the standby backlight. This is a low­brightness backlight that is on all the time.
You can toggle the standby backlight on or Standby.
Even though the standby backlight brightness is quite low, it decreases overall battery life because it is on all the time.

3.5. Battery power management

Your Suunto 9 has a battery power management system uses intelligent battery technology to help ensure you watch does not run out of power when you need it most.
Before you start recording an exercise (see 3.27. Recording an exercise) you see an estimate of how much battery life you have left in the current battery mode.
16
There are three predefined battery modes; Performance (default), Endurance and Ultra. Changing between these modes will change the lifetime of the battery but also change the performance of the watch.
NOTE: By default, Ultra mode turns o all HR tracking (both wrist and chest). To activate
the HR tracking (in Ultra mode) go to Options under the start indicator.
In start display, tap Options » Battery mode to change battery modes and see how each mode aects the performance of the watch.
TIP: You can also quickly change the battery mode in the start display by pressing the upper button.
In addition to these three predefined battery modes, you can also create a custom battery mode with your own desired settings. The custom mode is making it possible to create a custom battery mode for every sport mode.
NOTE: If while exercising you start navigating or use navigation data like estimated time
of arrival (ETA), the GPS goes to Best, regardless of the battery mode.
specific for that sport mode,
Battery notifications
In addition to the battery modes, your watch uses smart reminders to help you ensure you have enough battery life for your next adventure. Some reminders are preemptive based on, for example, your activity history. You also get you are running low on battery while recording an activity. It will automatically suggest changing to a dierent battery mode.
notified, for example, when the watch notices
Your watch will alert you once when the battery is at 20% and again at 10%.

3.6. Bluetooth connectivity

Suunto 9 uses Bluetooth technology to send and receive information from your mobile device when you have paired your watch with the Suunto App. Same technology is also used when pairing PODs and sensors.
