5 GETTING STARTED

Start by personalizing Suunto M1/M2 to get reliable and easy monitoring. Through the personal settings, you tune your Suunto M1/M2 according to your physical traits and activity. Many of the calculations use these settings, so it is important that you are as accurate as possible when defining the values.

NOTE: Take time to carefully adjust the initial settings. Some settings can only be changed later by resetting the device.

To set the initial settings:

1. Press any button to activate the device. Wait until the unit wakes up and

says hold 2 sec. Keep pressed to enter the first setting.

2. Press or to change values.

3. Press to accept a value and to move to the next setting. Press to return

to the previous setting.

4. When you are ready, select yes ( ) to confirm all settings. If you want to

modify the settings, select no ( ) to return to the first setting.

You can set the following initial settings:

language: English, Deutsch, français, español, português, italiano,

●

Nederlands, svenska, suomi

units: metric / imperial

●

time: 12 / 24 h, hours and minutes

●

date

●

personal settings: year of birth, sex, weight

●

NOTE: Maximum HR is the absolute maximum number of times a person’s heart can beat in one minute at the highest intensity. Once you have entered your year of birth, your device automatically sets the maximum heart rate (max. HR) using the formula 207 – (0.7 x AGE) published by the American College of Sports Medicine. If you know your real max. HR, you should adjust the automatically given value to the known value.

For information about adjusting the settings at a later time, see Chapter 13 Adjusting settings on page 24.

TIP: See the date and seconds with the time by pressing in the time view.

The display returns to show only the time to save battery life, if you do not press

again after 2 minutes.
