1.8.1 Battery Replacement of the Wristop Computer
The Wristop Computer operates on a three-volt lithium cell Type: CR 2430. The maximum life expectancy is
approximately 12-18 months.
A low battery warning indicator is activated when 5-15 percent of the battery capacity is still available. When
this occurs we recommend replacement of the battery.
Extreme cold weather may activate the low battery-warning indicator. Though the indicator is activated, the
battery may not need to be replaced due to this condition. In temperatures above 10
warning indicator is activated, the battery will need to be replaced.
Note: Heavy use of the electroluminescent backlight, the heart rate function, altimeter, and compass will
significantly reduce the life of the battery.
To replace the battery:
1. flip over the Wristop Computer to view the backside;
2. insert a coin in the coin slot located on the battery compartment cover;
3. turn the coin counterclockwise to the open position marked on the back of the case;
4. remove the battery compartment cover;
5. remove the old cell from the battery compartment and ensure the O-ring and all surfaces are clean, dry and
not damaged. Do not stretch the O-ring.
6. place the new cell into the battery compartment (negative side down, positive side up);
7. ensure that the O-ring is in place to keep the Wristop Computer waterproof and place the battery compartment
cover back onto the backside of the Wristop Computer;
12
O
C (50OF) if the low battery
8. insert a coin back into the coin slot; and
9. turn the coin clockwise to the close position marked on the back of the case.
Note: Battery replacement should be performed with extreme care so as to ensure the Wristop Computer
continues to remain waterproof. It is the operators responsibility to take due care to ensure that the Wristop
Computer remains waterproof.
Note: After every battery replacement, it is necessary to calibrate the magnetic sensor. Details on performing
this process are found in Calibrating the Compass section of this manual.
1.8.2 Batter y Replacement of the Suunto Transmitter Belt
The Suunto transmitter belt batterys average expected life is 300 hours. When the battery life has exhausted,
the user can replace the battery by following the same instructions that are given concerning the battery
replacement of the Wristop Computer.
CHAPTER 2 HEART RATE MONITOR
Suunto Advizor/Metron is available with or without Suunto transmitter belt.
The transmitter features:
Battery type: CR 2032 (replaceable by the user).
Battery life: approximately 300 hours.
Available in different sizes.
The Suunto transmitter belt has to be sent along with the Wristop Computer in case of maintenance.
2.1 SUUNTO WRISTOP COMPUTER AND TRANSMITTER IN
A WATER ENVIRONMENT
Suunto Wristop Computer is water proof to a depth of 30m/100ft. To maintain the water resistance, it is strongly
recommended to have all service done by authorised Suunto service personnel.
13
Heart rate measurement in a water environment is technically demanding for the following reasons:
Pool water with a high chlorine content and seawater may be very conductive and the electrodes of the
transmitter may get short circuited and ECG (ECG = electrocardiogram) signals cannot be detected by the
transmitter unit.
Jumping into the water or strenuous muscle movement during competitive swimming may cause water
resistance that shifts the transmitter on the body to a location where it is not possible to pick up the ECG
signal.
The ECG signal strength varies depending on the individuals tissue composition and the percentage of
people who have problems with heart rate measurement is considerably higher in a water environment than
in other use.
Note: The Wristop Computer is not a dive instrument, and therefore buttons should not be operated (put to use)
while under water.
2.2 SUUNTO WRISTOP COMPUTER AND INTERFERENCE
ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE
Disturbances may occur near high voltage power lines, traffic lights, overhead lines of electric railways, electric
bus lines or trams, televisions, car motors, bike computers, some motor driven exercise equipment, cellular
phones or when you walk through electric security gates.
Electromagnetic interference may cause inaccuracy in receiving heart rate signals. The sum of the above,
below and in heart rate values may be shorter than the total elapsed time. The reason for this inaccuracy is
that the electromagnetic interference may prevent the Wristop Computer from receiving signals of the transmitter
belt perfectly.
2.3 WARNINGS
Persons who have a pacemaker, defibrillator or other implanted electronic device use the Heart Rate Monitor
at their own risk. Before starting the initial use of the Heart Rate Monitor, we highly recommend an exercise
test under a doctors supervision. This will ensure the safety and reliability of the pacemaker and Heart Rate
Monitor when simultaneously being used.
14
Exercise may include some risk, especially for those who have been sedentary. We strongly advise consulting
your doctor prior to beginning a regular exercise program.
Disturbances may occur near high voltage power lines, televisions, cars, bike computers, motor driven
exercise equipment or cell phones.
It is best to position the Wristop Computer within 3 feet or 1 meter of the transmitter. Ensure no other
transmitters are within that range; signals from another transmitter(s) can cause an incorrect readout.
2.4 CARE
Wash the transmitter regularly with mild soap and water after each use. Rinse with pure water; dry thoroughly
and carefully.
Store in a cool dry place. Never store the transmitter wet. Moisture keeps the electrodes wet and transmitter
activated thereby shortening the life of the battery.
Do not bend or stretch the transmitter; this may damage the electrodes.
2.5 ACTIVATING THE HEART RATE MONITOR
1. Attach the transmitter to the elastic strap.
2. Adjust the strap length to fit snugly and comfortably. Secure the strap around your chest, below the chest
muscles. Lock the buckle.
3. Raise the transmitter a little off your chest and wet the grooved electrode areas on the back of it. It is
important that the electrodes are wet during exercise.
4. Check that the wet electrode areas are firmly against your skin and the logo is in a central upright position.
5. Wear the wristop computer as you would wear an ordinary watch.
Note: It is recommended that you wear the transmitter against your bare skin to ensure flawless operation.
However, if you wish to wear the transmitter over a shirt, moisten the shirt well under the electrodes.
When the Wristop Computer is in the Altimeter main mode, HRM main mode or any of the HRM sub modes and
the transmitter is worn, the Wristop Computer will automatically search for a heart rate signal. This procedure
also initiates the heart rate measurement.
15
During the first minute, measurements are taken every second, then for the next 4 minutes every 5 seconds. If
no heart rate signal has been received during the first five minutes, the search for a heart rate signal will end.
After this process, the user can manually activate the heart rate measurement by pressing the [+] button in the
HRM main mode.
NOTE: Pressing the [+] button during the first 5 minutes in the heart rate mode, will stop the search for a heart
rate signal. To reactivate the measurement, press the [+] button again.
2.6 OPERATION
The Heart Rate Monitor function provides the user with:
a heart rate range from 20 - 240 beats/min;
a stopwatch range of up to 23:59.59, stores up to 30 split times and heart rate readings;
an interval countdown timer range of up to 23:59.59;
upper and lower limits adjustable in one beat increments to set target heart rate zone;
audible alarms alert the user of exceeding upper or lower limit;
heart rate displayed in relation to current time or running time (stopwatch and countdown timer);
auto-repeat of countdown timer for interval training (training interval, recovery interval, number of intervals);
and
HRM memory activated from the starting of the stopwatch or the countdown timer storing total training time,
maximum, minimum and average heart rate during training, as well as time spent in, above and below target
heart rate zone. When stopwatch is used, the memory also stores up to 30 split times and heart rates for
viewing.
To view and use the Heart Rate Monitor function:
Check the LCD. If the segment under HRM is not highlighted, PRESS the [Mode] button until the segment
directly under HRM is lit.
In the HRM mode (Fig. 2):
Field 1 displays the text HR (HR = heart rate).
16
Field 2 displays the current heart rate.
Field 3 displays the current time.
Note: In order to activate this feature, the transmitter belt must be worn around the chest area. The middle row
will show zero until there is a proper reading to display.
2.6.1 How to Set the Target Zones of the Heart Rate Monitor
To set the upper and lower limits in the HRM mode:
1. PRESS the [Select] button and hold for 2 seconds.
Field 1 displays the text LI (LI = Limits).
Field 2 displays the text OFF.
2. PRESS the [+] button or the [-] button to toggle between off and on. Choose On to activate the audible
heart rate limit alarms.
3. PRESS the [Select] button to move to the next setting (setting the upper limit) (Fig. 3).
Field 1 displays the text LI (LI = Limits).
Field 2 flashes the upper limit where the default value is 240.
Field 3 displays the lower limit.
4. PRESS the [+] button to scroll the value upward or PRESS the [-] button to scroll the value downward.
5. At the value desired, PRESS the [Select] button to accept the upper limit value and move to the next setting
(setting the lower limit) (Fig. 3).
Field 1 displays the text LI (LI = Limits).
Field 2 displays the new upper limit setting.
Field 3 flashes the lower limit where the default value is 20.
6. PRESS the [+] button to scroll the lower limit value upward or PRESS the [-] button to scroll the value
downward.
7. At the value desired, PRESS the [Mode] button to accept the upper and lower limits and exit.
The HRM target heart rate zone is set.
17
Limits On means that the Wristop Computer will audibly alert the user that a chosen upper or lower limit has
been exceeded. Limits OFF means that the Wristop Computer will not alert the user, but the limits will however
be used to calculate time spent in, above and below the target heart rate zone.
The outer circumference will graphically show the heart rate level reached by the user, in relation to the heart
rate limit set. The circumference will adjust to equal any limit settings starting from the 12 oclock position going
clockwise. E.g. if the upper limit is set to 140 beats/minute and the lower limit to 130 beats/minute, one full circle
on the outer circumference will equal 10 beats/minute.
2.7 STOPWATCH SUB MODE
The Wristop Computer stopwatch feature can provide split time measurement up to 23 hours 59 minutes and
59 seconds up to 30 split times and heart rate readings can be stored into the HRM memory.
In the HRM mode, PRESS the [Select] button once to enter this submode.
In the Stopwatch mode (Fig. 4):
Field 1 displays the seconds and tenths of a second,

2.8 INTERVAL COUNTDOWN TIMER SUB MODE
In the HRM mode, PRESS the [Select] button twice to enter this sub mode.
In the interval countdown timer mode (Fig. 5):
Field 1 displays the seconds,
Field 2 displays the current heart rate, and
Field 3 displays the hour and minutes with the text TIMER located to the right.
Note: When the transmitter is not worn, Field 2 displays the current time.
The HRM memory for one event is automatically activated when starting the countdown timer (or stopwatch).
The memory stores total training time, training interval duration (1dur), maximum, minimum and average heart
rate during training, as well as time spent in, above and below target heart rate zone for one event. The next
time the countdown timer (or stopwatch) is activated, the previous events information will be erased.
There are two types of intervals: training and recovery. The countdown timer can be set to repeat a specific
interval a specific number of times automatically. Adjustments to training interval, recovery interval and
number of intervals can be made through the setup process.
Please note that the HRM memory will only store heart rate information for the training intervals.

2.8.2 How to Start the Countdown Timer
During the training interval, the set heart rate limits are in use and the heart rate information is calculated and
stored in the HRM memory. When the time has been counted down, a beep is heard, and simultaneously a new
interval will begin.
21
If the recovery interval has a value other than zero, this interval will now be counted down. During the recovery
interval the heart rate is displayed, but not measured nor stored for later calculations and will not effect max/
min/average heart rate readings nor the time spent in/above/below the target zone readings. The limits established
are not in use during this interval either.
If the recovery interval has been set to 0, another training interval is immediately started. This interval is
repeated as many times as set in the setup of the countdown timer. When the last interval is completed, a triplebeep is heard signifying to the user the end of the countdown timer process.
To start the countdown timer:
1. PRESS the [+] button to start, stop, and restart the timer in the countdown timer sub mode.
2. During an activity, PRESS the [-] button to view the number of intervals remaining. This will be displayed in
Field 2.
3. Once the timer has stopped, PRESS the [-] button to reset the timer to zero.
Note: If the user is in other modes or sub modes when the countdown time has been activated, the countdown
timer will continue and remain in the background. A flashing timer text in Field 3 indicates that the timer is still
activated.
2.9 HRM MEMORY
The HRM memory sub mode stores the maximum, minimum, and average heart rates during selected intervals
(training or recovery), as well as the time spent in, above and below selected heart rates (target zones). If the
heart rate goes beyond the selected zone, an alarm sounds.
To view the HRM Memory, in the HRM mode, PRESS the [Select] button three times to enter this submode.
In the HRM Memory mode, there are six display screens.
