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

●
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.
12
Page 13
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.
To get even more accurate guidance, perform the fitness test, see Section 12.1Testing your fitness level on page 26.

4
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 doctor’s 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.

8 STARTING EXERCISE
After the initial settings, you can start exercising. The guided exercise program
is automatically used to guide you to the next fitness level, or to maintain an
excellent fitness level. The guided exercise program is based on your current
fitness level specified in the initial settings. If you want to exercise without
guidance, select the free exercise program in the settings, see Chapter 14Adjusting settings on page 32.
To start exercising:

HR belt only the duration of the exercise is shown. After the exercise, you can
estimate the intensity level of your exercise. Based on your estimation and the
16
Page 17
duration, the device estimates the kcal consumption and adjusts your exercise
plan and history accordingly.
TIP: Warm up before and cool down after exercices. These are not included in
the recommendations and should be done with low intensity.
8.1 Troubleshooting: No HR signal
If you lose the HR signal, try the following:

and when you are ready for exercising on full intensity within your personal
24
Page 25
fitness level. Check your recovery rate at any time in suggestion, see Chapter13 Reviewing plans and history on page 29. If the recovery time is more than 24
hours, we strongly recommend you to have a rest day to avoid over-exercising.

12 REST HR AND FITNESS TEST
12.1 Testing your fitness level
Proceed with the fitness test (Rockport test) to evaluate your fitness level. The
test helps you to follow your progress and gives up-to-date information for
various calculations in the device. The fitness test usually takes 10-30 minutes,
depending on your walking speed.
Find a level and even place where the distance of 1.6 km/1 mile is known (for
example, 4 times around a 400 m track).
TIP: Use a treadmill or internet map services to determine a known distance.
To take the test:
1. In the time view, press .
2. Select fitness test with and .
3. Confirm with and wait until the device finds HR belt signal.
4. Press to start the test.
5. Walk 1.6 km (1 mile) as fast as possible at an even pace.
6. At 1.6 km (1 mile), stop the test with .
26
Page 27
When ready, Suunto M5 calculates your fitness index (scale 0 - 10) and shows
your current fitness level:
NOTE: If you are using a guided exercise program, the fitness test is considered
an exercise and affects the target completion.
TIP: Compare your results with your previous fitness test results in history &
trend, see Section 13.2 History & trend on page 30.
TIP: Perform the fitness test regularly, for example once a month, to keep your
fitness level updated.
12.2 Testing your rest HR
Rest HR is your HR at rest. Test your rest HR to get even more personalized
guidance from Suunto M5 and to follow the development of your fitness level.
Improving fitness level usually lowers the rest HR.
To test your rest HR:
1. Moisten the contact areas and put on the HR belt.
27
en
Page 28
2. Make sure your device receives the HR signal.
3. Lie down and relax for three minutes.
4. Check your heart rate from the device and adjust it accordingly in the
personal settings.
TIP: The best time to perform the rest HR test is after a good night's sleep. If
you just had coffee, feel tired or stressed, do the test later.

13.1 Exercise plan
After you have set your fitness level in the initial settings, Suunto M5 offers you
a long term plan with a 7-day overview, in line with the recommendations of
the American College of Sports Medicine.
In suggestion you can view the following information:
recovery time
●
recommended exercise duration for the next 7 days
●
graph of the recommended exercises for the next 7 days
●
next target for next 6 weeks (fitness and weight target)
●
next recommended training time, duration, and intensity
●
Perform the fitness test to measure your current fitness level. Based on your
current fitness level and ACSM guidelines, your Suunto M5 creates an exercise
program that gradually guides you to excellent fitness level. For example, if
your fitness level is below average, the exercise program guides you towards
the fair fitness level first, before moving towards good. That way you can build
a solid fitness base without the risk of overtraining. As your physical condition
improves, the frequency, duration, and intensity of the exercise sessions
recommended by your Suunto M5 will increase. After you reach the excellent
fitness level, your Suunto M5 exercise program helps you in maintaining the
excellent fitness level.
13.2 History & trend
History & trend shows you the cumulative information of your saved exercise
sessions.
You can view the following information:
number and duration of all saved exercises

NOTE: The percentages of completed weekly and monthly targets include
today's exercise. If you have not completed today's exercise, the percentage target
is lower than 100% even if you have followed the recommendations.
TIP: Transfer your saved exercise sessions to Movescount.com, for example,
once a month with an optional Suunto PC POD or Suunto Movestick.
