5 GETTING STARTED

Start by personalizing Suunto M5 to get accurate guidance in reaching your goals. Through the personal settings, you tune your Suunto M5 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.
Press any button to activate your Suunto M5. 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 ( ).
You can set the following initial settings:

date
personal settings: year of birth, sex, weight, height, (calculated BMI), fitness
level
NOTE: BMI (Body Mass Index) is a number calculated from your weight and height. It indicates whether your weight is within healthy limits. However, if you are very muscular, your calculated BMI may be higher than expected, because the BMI ranges are based on average body types.
NOTE: 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 14 Adjusting settings on page 32.
TIP: Press in the time view to view the status of your current day exercise target, date and seconds with the time. The display returns to show only the time to save battery life, if you do not press again after 2 minutes.

5.1 Estimating your fitness level

To get guidance during exercise, you need to estimate your current fitness level in the initial settings.

Select one of the following options:
very poor: you prefer using the elevator or driving to walking, or sometimes
walk for pleasure, and occasionally exercise sufficiently to cause heavy breathing or perspiration. poor: you exercise regularly 10 to 60 minutes per week in recreation or
work requiring modest physical activity, such as golf, horseback riding, calisthenics, gymnastics, table tennis, bowling, weight lifting, or yard work. fair: you run less than one mile (1.6 km) per week or spend less than 30 min
per week in comparable physical activity. good: you run 1 to 5 miles (1.6 - 8 km) per week or spend 30 to 60 min per
week in comparable physical activity. very good: you run 5 to 10 miles (8 - 16 km) per week or spend 1 to 3 hours
per week in comparable physical activity. excellent: you run over 10 miles (16 km) per week or spend over 3 hours
per week in comparable physical activity.

7 PUTTING ON HR BELT

Adjust the strap length so that the heart rate (HR) belt is tight but still comfortable. Moisten the contact areas with water or gel and put on the HR belt. Ensure the HR belt is centered on your chest and the red arrow is pointing up.
WARNING: People who have a pacemaker, defibrillator, or other implanted electronic device use the HR belt at their own risk. Before starting the initial use of the HR belt, we recommend an exercise test under a doctors supervision. This ensures the safety and reliability of the pacemaker and HR belt when being used simultaneously. Exercise may include some risk, especially for those who have been inactive. We strongly advise you to consult your doctor prior to beginning a regular exercise program.
NOTE: HR belts with ANT icon ( ) are compatible with ANT compatible Suunto wristop computers and with Suunto ANT Fitness Solution, while HR belts with IND
icon ( ) are compatible with most exercise equipment with inductive heart rate reception. Your Suunto Dual Comfort Belt is both IND and ANT compatible.
