2.4. SIGNAL COVERAGE

The MSN Direct service is delivered over a wireless network that is based on FM radio broadcast signals. Your Suunto n6

HR indicates the strength of the broadcast

signal by displaying a signal strength icon. The icon appears in the upper right corner of the status bar on most channel screens. The status bar appears on most channel screens a few seconds after the last button press. Signal strength can vary based on your location. Sometimes topography (hills, valleys), building structures, or nearby electronics can interfere with the broadcast signal that your Suunto n6

HR uses to receive information. Your Suunto n6HR should

receive information even at a low signal strength. The network sends two types of information to your Suunto n6

HR—broadcast and

personal. Broadcast information—such as news stories and current temperatures—is sent to every Suunto n6 see is actually captured by your Suunto n6

HR with MSN Direct, but only the information that you want to

HR. Regardless of where you travel in

North America, as long as you are within an MSN Direct coverage area, you shou ld receive broadcast information. Your personal information—such as your messages and calendar appointments—is encrypted with a unique key to help maintain your privacy. You receive personal information when you are within the range of your home coverage area. Your home coverage area is the metropolitan area where you live. For more information about your home coverage area, including what to do when you travel, go to the MSN Direct Website at www.msndirect.com and click the Help link.

that you can receive personal messages and information. The Register channel disappears when you activate MSN Direct.

HR. This is a temporary channel that displays the information you need

3.1. RECEIVING THE TIME

When your Suunto n6

HR receives a broadcast signal, it should automatically receive

the correct time from an atomic clock. This happens even if you have not yet activated the MSN Direct service. As long as your Suunto n6

HR keeps on receiving

the signal, you do not need to set the time. The time is accurate to a few thousands of a second, and it automatically adjusts for daylight saving time and leap years. In addition, your Suunto n6

HR automatically switches to different time zones as you

travel from place to place.

NOTE: When you turn on your Suunto n6 time from an atomic clock.

If you are in an area where your Suunto n6

HR, it may take a few minutes to receive the

HR cannot receive a signal, you can set the

time manually. You can also change the time display from a 12-hour clock to a 24hour clock, and you can override the automatic time zone setting. For more details, see Chapter 6. Settings.

3.2. CHOOSING A WATCH FACE

You can change the face that is displayed on your Suunto n6

HR.

To choose a new watch face:

1. Long press CHANNEL/MODE to go to the Time channel. Wait for the current watch face to appear.

2. Select the desired watch face with PREVIOUS or NEXT/STOP.

3.3. WATCH FACE SUB-MODES

The watch faces have a few sub-modes that you can adjust with the ENTER button. With the sub-modes you can customize the watch face to display the date, dual time, heart rate (and on some watch faces seconds) in addition to the regular time display. If you change the watch face, the previously selected sub-mode will also be visible there provided that the watch face supports it. So, for example, if you have selected to display the date, and you then decide to choose a new watch face, the date will be visible there, too. However, if your current watch face displays seconds, and you then select a watch face that does not support such a sub-mode, the seconds will not be displayed.

3.3.1. Downloading a watch face

Give your Suunto n6

HR a new look to reflect your personal style. You can download

one or two faces, and keep up to two downloaded faces at a time. New watch faces will be added regularly. To download a new watch face, register as an MSN direct user and select the desired watch face.

4. HEART RATE TRANSMITTER BELT

Here you can learn how to use the heart rate transmitter belt in your training activities. This chapter also contains important information on HR limits, care of the transmitter belt, possible disturbances in the signal reception, and warnings. For information on replacing the battery, see Chapter 5. Battery.

4.1. PUTTING ON YOUR TRANSMITTER BELT

We recommend that you wear the transmitter against your bare skin to ensure flawless operation.

• The electrodes must be wet during the exercise. Raise the transmitter a little off your chest and moisten the grooved electrode area on the backside.

• Check that the wet electrode areas are firmly against your skin and the logo is in a central upright position.

4.2. MONITORING YOUR HEART RATE

Y ou can monitor your heart rate in the Chrono mode. The heart rate is visible on the top row of the main display when you wear the HR transmitter belt and your Suunto n6 signal from the belt. If your Suunto n6

HR receives the HR

HR receives the signal,

the HR text blinks at the same pace as your current heart rate. If there is no signal, the top row displays ---.

4.3. SETTING THE HR LIMITS

With this function you can set the limits for your target heart rate zone. This is useful when you, for example, want to keep your HR at an optimum level for fat burning. When the chronograph is active, your Suunto n6

HR alerts you whenever your heart

rate goes outside the preset zone using alarm signals. To set the HR limits:

1. Enter the Chrono mode.

2. Press ENTER to access the chronograph sub-menu.

3. Select HR limits.

4. Set the HR limits On with PREVIOUS and NEXT/STOP and press ENTER.

NOTE: When the chronograph is active, you can toggle between HR limits on and off by long pressing ENTER.

5. Adjust the High and Low limits with PREVIOUS and NEXT/STOP, and press ENTER.

4.4. TRANSMITTER BELT USAGE IN WATER

Heart rate measurement in water is technically demanding for the following reasons:

• Pool water with a high chlorine conten t and seawate r may be very conductive, and the electrodes of the transmitter may get short-circuited.

• The transmitter unit cannot detect the ECG (electrocardiogram) signals.

• Jumping into the water or strenuous muscle movement during swimming may cause water resistance that shifts the transmitter on the body to a location where it cannot pick up the ECG signal.

• The ECG signal strength varies depending on the individual’s tissue composition. People have more problems with heart rate measurement in water than elsewhere.

4.5. CARE OF THE TRANSMITTER BELT

Wash the transmitter belt with mild soap and water after each use. Rinse it with clean water, and dry thoroughly and carefully. Store it in a cool and dry place. Never leave it wet because moisture keeps the electrodes wet and the transmitter activated thereby shortening the battery life. Do not bend or stretch the transmitter; this may damage the electrodes.

4.6. ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE

Disturbances in the HR signal reception may occur near high voltage power lines, traffic lights, overhead lines of electric railways, electric bus or tram lines, televisions, car motors, bike computers, some motor driven exercise equipment, cellular phones or when you walk through electric security gates.
