5 GETTING STARTED

Start by adjusting your personal settings. Many of the calculations use these settings, so it is important that you are as accurate as possible when defining the values. Through the personal settings, you tune your Suunto Quest according to your physical traits and activity.

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 START STOP pressed to enter the first setting.

2. Press START STOP or LIGHT LOCK to change values.

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

LOCK to return to the previous setting.

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

want to modify the settings, select no (LIGHT LOCK).

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: 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.

Remember to adjust additional personal values in personal settings before you start training with Suunto Quest, see Chapter 10 Adjusting settings on page 27.

TIP: In the time view, press the NEXT button to see the date, dual time, and seconds with the time. If you choose the seconds view, the display returns to show only date or dual time after 2 minutes to save battery life.

5.1 Using backlight and button lock

Press LIGHT LOCK to activate the backlight. Keep LIGHT LOCK pressed to lock or unlock the START STOP button. When the

START STOP button is locked, is shown on the display.

NOTE: Lock the START STOP button to avoid accidentally starting or stopping your stopwatch. When the START STOP button is locked during a training session, you can still change the views by pressing the NEXT button.

NOTE: During training, keep the NEXT button pressed to activate the button lock and deactivate the tapping feature.

NOTE: To save the battery life, the backlight blinks when activated during training.

5.2 Testing your rest HR

Rest HR is your heart rate at rest. Improving your fitness level usually lowers the rest HR.

To test your rest HR:

1. Moisten the contact areas and put on the HR belt.

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.

6 PUTTING ON HR BELT

1 2

NOTE: Suunto Quest is compatible only with Suunto Dual Comfort Belt.

Adjust the strap length so that the 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.

NOTE: Suunto Quest cannot receive the HR belt signal under water.

TIP: Machine-wash the heart rate belt regularly after use to avoid unpleasant

odor.
