3 FEATURES
3.1 Activity monitoring
Suunto Traverse measures your daily steps and estimates calories burned during the day, based on your personal data.
Daily step count is availabl e as a default view in TIME. Yo u can see the step number by pressing the [VIEW] button.
The step count is measured by the accelerometer sensor, and the number of steps is updated every 60 seconds.
Daily step count and calories burned are displayed as the first view of the Logbook. To view your daily step count and an estimation of calories burned during the day, press [Start] button, and select Logbook.
The value is reset daily at midnight.
3.2 Alti-Baro
With ALTI-BARO you can view the current altitude or barom etric pressure. Press [Next] in TIME mode to view the ALTI & BARO display.
You can show/hide the ALTI-BARO display under the start menu DISPLAYS » Alti-Baro. Toggle with [Next].
You can access different views by pressing [View]. Three profiles are available: Automatic, Barometer and Altimeter.
15
For information on setting profiles, see 3.2.2 Matching profile to
activity.
3.2.1 Getting correct readings
Suunto Traverse constantly measures absolute air pressure using the built-in pressure sensor. Based on this measurement and reference values, it calculat es altitude or s ea level air press ure.
CAUTION: Keep the area around the sensor free of dirt and
sand.
Never insert any objects into the sensor openings.
If you are not recording an outdoor activity, and your activity requires accurate sea level air pressure or altitude, you need to calibrate your Suunto Traverse by entering either your current altitude or the current sea level air pressure.
When recording an activity, Suunto Traverse us es Suunto FusedAlti by default. This means that altitude readings will be corrected automatically using FusedAlti together with altitude and seal level pressure calibrati on. For more information, see
3.13 FusedAlti
.
16
The altitude of your location can be found from most topographic maps or Google Earth. A sea level air pressure reference for your location can be found using the websites of national weather services.
TIP: Absolute air pressure and known altitude reference = sea level air pressure. Absolute air pressure and known sea level air pressure = altitude.
17
Changes in local weather conditions will affect altitude readi ngs. If local weather changes often, it is advisable to reset the current altitude reference value frequentl y, preferably before st art i ng your journey when the referenc e val ues are available. As long as the local weather stays stable, you do not need to set reference values.
To set the sea level pressure and altitude reference values:
1. Keep [Next] pressed to enter the options menu.
2. Scroll to ALTI-BARO with [Light] and enter with [ Next].
3. Scroll to Reference with [Light] and enter with [Next].
4. The following setting options are available:
•
FusedAlti: GPS is switched on and the watch starts calculating
altitude based on FusedAlti.
•
Manual altitude: Set your altit ude manually.
•
Sea level pressure: Set the sea level pressure reference value
manually.
5. Set the reference value using [Start] and [ Light]. Acc ept the
setting with [Next].
18
TIP: You can access the Alti/Baro menu by pressing [Start]
when
in ALTI-BARO display.
3.2.2 Matching profile to activity
By default, Suunto Traverse uses Automatic profile that switches between Alti and Baro automatically, bas ed on movement. In the Automatic profile, the graph visible in Alt i/BAro displ ay will al ways represent altitude.
You can either let Suunto Traverse decide a suitable profile for the activity, or choose yourself a profile that matches your activity.
The Altimeter profile should be selected when your outdoor activity involves changes in altitude (e.g. hiking in hil l y terrain).
19
The Barometer profil e should be selected when your outdoor activity does not involve changes in altitude (e.g. soccer, sailing, canoeing).
NOTE: You can define the profile as part of the sport mode
settings
in Movescount, or in your Suunto Traverse.
To set the ALTI & BARO profile:
1. Keep [Next] pressed to enter the options menu.
2. Scroll to ALTI-BARO with [ Li ght] and enter with [Next].
3. Press [Next] to select Profile.
4. Scroll the profile options ( Automatic, Altimeter, Barometer) with
[Start] or [Light]. Select a profile with [Next].
Use example: Setting the altitude reference value
You’re on the second day of your two-day hike. You realize that you forgot
20
to switch from the Barometer profile to the Altimeter profile when you started moving in the morning. You know that the current altitude readings given by your Suunto Traverse are wrong. So, you hike to the nearest location shown on your topographic map for which an altitude reference value is provided. You correct your Suunto Traverse alti t ude referenc e value accordingl y and switch from Barometer to Altimeter profil e. Y our altitude readi ngs are correct again.
Incorrect read ings
If your Altimeter profile is on for an extended period of time with the device in a fixed locat i on while the loc al weather changes, the device will give incorrect altitude readi ngs.
If your Altimeter profile is on and the weather changes frequently while you climb in altitude or go down in altitude, the device will give you incorrect readings.
If the Barometer profile is on for an extended period of time as you climb in altitude or go down in altitude, the device assumes that you are standing still and interprets your changes in altitude as changes i n sea level air pressure. It will therefore give you incorrec t sea level ai r press ure readings.
3.2.3 Using Altime ter profile
The Altimeter profile calculates altitude based on reference val ues. The reference value can either be sea level air pressure value or altitude reference value.
When the Altimeter profile is activated, the altimeter icon is shown on the display.
When the Altimeter profile is activated, you can access the following
21
views:
•
your current altitude, a graph displaying altitude changes over the past 12 hours (7 min. recording interval)
•
bottom row: change with [View] to show temperature, baro trend
NOTE: If you are wearing your Suunto Traverse on your wrist, you will need to take it off in order to get an accurate
temperature reading
because your body temperature will affect the initial reading.
3.2.4 Using Barometer profile
The Barometer profil e shows the current sea level air pressure. This is based on the reference values added in the settings and the constantly measured absolute air pressure.
Changes in the sea level air pressure are presented graphically in the middle row of the display.
22
When the Barometer profile is activated, the barometer icon is shown on the display.
When the Barometer profile is activated, Suunto Traverse shows you the following barometric inform ation:
•
current pressure or a graph displaying sea level pressure changes over the past 26 hours (15 min. recording interval)
•
bottom row: change with [View] to show temperature, baro trend
23
NOTE: If you are wearing your Suunto Traverse on your wrist, you will need to take it off in order to get an accurate
temperature reading
because your body temperature will affect the initial reading.
3.2.5 Using Automatic profile
The Automatic profil e switc hes between the Altimeter and Barometer profiles according to your movements. When the Automatic profile is active, the device will automatical ly switc h between interpreti ng changes in air pressure as changes in altitude or changes in weather.
It is not possible to measure weather and altitude changes at the same time, as both cause a change in the surrounding air pressure. Suunto Traverse senses vertical movement and switches to measuring altitude, when needed. When altitude is shown, it is updated with a maximum delay of 10 seconds.
If you are at a constant altitude (less than 5 meters of vertical movement within 12 minutes), Suunto Traverse interprets all pressure changes as weather changes. The measurement interval is10 seconds. The altitude reading remains steady and if the weather changes, you will see changes in the sea level air pressure reading.
24
If you are moving in altitude (more than 5 meters of vertical movement within 3 minutes), Suunto Traverse interprets all pressure changes as movements in altitude.
In the Automatic Profile, Suunto Traverse will display following information: top row, name of currently active profile, Altitude, altitude graph. In addition, baro trend and temperature are accessible with the [View] button.
3.3 Autopause
Autopause pauses the recording of your exercise when your speed is
less than 2 km/h (1.2 mph). When your speed increases to more than 3 km/h (1.9 mph), the recording continues automatical l y.
You can turn Autopause on/off for each sport mode in Movescount under the advanced settings for the sport mode.
Autopause is set to off by default in Suunto Traverse
3.4 Backlight
Pressing [Light] activates the backlight.
25
By default, the backlight turns on for a few seconds and turns off automatically. This is the Normal mode.
There are three different backlight modes: Mode:
•
Normal: The backli ght turns on for a few seconds when you
press [Light] and when the alarm clock sounds.
•
Off: The backlight is not switched on by pressing a button or
when the alarm clock sounds.
•
Night: The backlight turns on for a few seconds when you press
any button and when the alarm clock sounds.
•
Toggle: The backlight turns on when you press [Light] and stays on
until you press [Light] again.
3.5 Button lock
Keeping [Back/Lap] pressed locks and unlocks butt ons. You can change the button lock behavior in the watch settings under
GENERAL » Tones/display » Button lock.
•
Actions only: Start and options menus are locked.
•
All buttons: All butt ons are locked. Backlight can be activated in
Night mode.
26
TIP: Select the Actions only button lock setting to avoid accidentally starting or stopping your log. When the [Back
Lap] and
[Start ] buttons are locked, you can still change
displays by pressing
[Next] and views by pressing [View].
3.6 Compass
Suunto Traverse has a digital compass that allows you to orient yourself in relation to magnetic north. The tilt -compensated compass gives you accurate readings even if the compass is not horizontally level.
You can show/hide the compass display from the start menu under DISPLAYS » Compass. Toggle with [Next].
The compass display includes the following informat i on:
•
middle row: compass heading in cardinals
•
bottom row: compass heading in degrees
The compass switches to power saving mode after one minute. Reactivate it with [Start] .
27
3.7.1 Calibrat ing compass
If you have not used the compass before, you must first calibrate it. Turn and tilt the watch in multiple directions until the watch beeps, indicating calibrati on is complet e.
If you have already calibrated the compass and want to re-calibrate it, you can access the calibration option in the options menu.
If the calibration is successful, the text C ALIBRATION SUCCESSFUL is displayed. If the calibration does not succeed, the text CALIBRATION FAILED is displayed. To retry the calibration, press [Start] .
To manually start compass calibration:
1. Keep [Next] pressed to enter the options menu.
2. Scr oll to NAVIGATION with
[Light] and select with [Next].
3. Scroll to Settings with [Light] and select with [Next].
28
4. Scroll to Compass with [Light] and select with [Next].
5. Press [Next] to select Calibration.
3.7.2 Setting declination
To ensure correct compass readings, set an accurate declination value.
Paper maps point to true north. Compasses, however, point to magnetic north – a region above the Earth where the Earth’s magnetic fields pull. Because magnetic North and true North are not at the same location, you must set the declination on your compass. The angle in between magnetic and true north is your declination.
The declination value appears on most maps. The location of magnetic north changes yearly, so the most accurate and up-to-date declination value can be obtained from the internet (for example www.magnetic­declination.com).
Orienteering maps, however, are drawn in relation to magnetic north. This means that when you are using orienteering maps you need to turn the declination correction off by setting the decli nat i on value to 0 degrees.
To set the declination value:
1. Keep [Next] pressed to enter the options menu.
2. Scroll to NAVIGATION with
[Light] and select with [Next].
3. Scroll to Settings with [Light] and select with [Next].
4. Scroll to Compass with [Light] and select with [Next].
5. Scroll to Declination with [Light] and select with [Next].
6. Turn the declination off by selecting --, or select W (west) or E
29
(east).
7. Set the declination value with [Start] or [Light].
8. Press [Next] to accept the setting.
TIP: You can also access the Navigation men u and Compass settings by pressing [Start]
in Navigation mode.
3.7.3 Setting bearing lock
You can mark the direction to your target in relation to North with the bearing lock feature.
To lock a bearing:
1. With the compass active, hold the watch in front of you and turn
yourself towards your target.
30
2. Press [Back Lap] to lock the current degree displayed on the
watch as your bearing.
3. An empty triangle indicates the locked bearing in relation to the
North indicator (solid triangle).
4. Press [Back Lap] to clear the bearing lock.
