1. INTRODUCTION

Suunto Bike POD is an accessory for your Suunto t3, Suunto t4 or Suunto t6 wristop computer. It is a light-weigh t, wire less spee d and di stan ce se nsor that combines new speed and distance fun ctions with the detailed heart rate analysis and training benef its of your wristop computer, creating one of the most advanced cycling-speci fic training tools available. Suunto Bike POD measures your cycling speed and distance by calculating the relation between the circumference of your bicycle wheel and the speed at which it rotates. Measurement is ef fortless and, when proper ly calibrated, also very accurate. Suunto Bike POD adds new features to your Suunto t3, t4 or t6 wristop computer. Once paired with t he Bike POD, the wri stop computer dis plays your current speed, the distance from start and the lap distance. Furthermore, it stores lap times automatically accor ding to the distance set by the us er; gives alarms for too fast or too slow speed, and offers a distance-based interval training function.

NOTE: The wristop-computer functions related to the use of your Suunto Bike

POD are explained in the indi vidual Suunto t3, t4, and t 6 instruction manuals. You can download the latest version of the manuals at www.suunto.com/ training.

2. BEFORE USE

2.1. PAIRING YOUR BIKE POD

Before you can use your Suunto Bike POD, you have to pair it with your Suunto wristop computer. This process can be compared to the tuning of a radio. To be able to listen to a specific radio station, you have to tune the radio to the correct frequency. Similarly, to be able to use your Suunto wristop computer with a specific Bike POD, you must pair t hem with each other. This is only nec essary when you use your Bike POD for the first time. To pair your Bike POD with your Suunto wristop computer:

1. Remove the Bike POD battery.

2. Short-circuit the - a nd + metal pla tes in the bat tery compartme nt of the POD by connecting them with a metal instrument, f or example, by touch ing them with a screwdriver, knife or a paperclip.

3. In your Suunto t3 or Suunto t4, go to Training mode settings and select Pair a POD and then Bike.

In your Suunto t6, go to the Training menu an d select Pair and then Bike POD (if your device has a serial number 50500 000 or higher ) or Spd sens (if

your device has a serial number 5049999 9 or lowe r). The mes sage ‘TURN ON

NEW DEVICE’ is displayed.

4. Insert the battery in the battery compartment and wait for acknowledgement.

5. Your Suunto t3 or t4 will disp lay “Paired” or, if pairing failed, return to the Pair a POD menu. Your Suunto t6 will display either ‘”PAIRING COMPLETE” or, if pairing failed, “NO DEVICES FOUND” within 30 seconds.

6. If pairing is successful, close the battery compartment cover. If pairing fails, remove the battery and repeat steps 2–5. If pairing still fails, make sure that there are no active ANT tra nsmitters s uch HR belt s nearby and repeat s teps 2–5.

After successful pairing, you can view speed and distance-related information in the Speed/Distance mode while on the move. If you would like to use the Suunto t6 (serial number 50499999 or lower) simultaneously with both the Bike POD and th e Foot POD, Suunt o offers a fr ee update to the device at your ne arest Suunto Service Center, upon presenting the Bike POD proof of purchase and after paying the postal costs for sending it to the service center. For information on Suunto Service Center locations visit www.suunto.com.

2.2. INSTALLING AND REPLACING THE BATTERY

1. Open the battery compartment cover with a coin.

2. If replacing the batter y, remove the old battery.

3. Place the new battery into the battery compartment with the positive side facing up and close the cover.

NOTE: Replace the battery with extreme c are to ensure that your Bike POD

remains water-resistant. Check the condition of the seal on the battery cover each time you change the batt ery and replace the battery cover if the seal is damaged. Careless battery replacement may void the warranty.

NOTE: To reduce the ris k of fire or burns, do not cr ush, puncture or di spose of used batteries in fire or water. The POD uses one CR2032 battery. Only use this kind of battery. Recycle or dispose of used batteries properly.
