1. GENERAL INFORMATION

This User’s Guide applies to Suunto X6hr and its different design versions. Suunto X6hr Wristop Computer is a reliable high-precision electronic instrument
intended for recreational use. Outdoor enthusiasts and endurance athletes who enjoy such sports as mountain climbing, running and biking can rely on Suunto X6hr’s accuracy.
NOTE: The Suunto X6hr should not be substituted for obtaining measurements that require professional or industrial precision and should not be used to obtain altitude or barometric measurements when flying a small aircraft or when practising aviation sports.
1.1. CARE AND MAINTENANCE
1.1.1. Care of Suunto X6hr
Only perform the procedures described in this manual. Never attempt to disassemble or service your Suunto X6hr. Protect your Suunto X6hr from shocks, extreme heat and prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. If not in use, store your Suunto X6hr in a clean, dry environment at room temperature.
Suunto X6hr can be wiped clean with a lightly moistened (warm water) cloth. If there are stubborn stains or marks, you can apply mild soap to the area. Do not expose Suunto X6hr to strong chemicals such as gasoline, cleaning solvents, acetone, alcohol, insect repellents, adhesives and paint, as they may damage the unit’s seals, case and finish. Keep the PC interface contacts clean with e.g. a toothbrush. Make sure the area around the sensor is free of dirt and sand. Never insert any objects into the sensor openings.
5
1.1.2. Care of Transmitter Belt
Wash the transmitter 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 as this may damage the electrodes.
1.2. WATER RESISTANCE
Suunto X6hr and the transmitter belt are tested with ISO (International Organization for standardization) standard 2281 (www.iso.ch). This means that product is water-resistant. “In addition to the term “water resistant” Suunto X6hr is marked with an indication of a test overpressure given as a depth in meters (100 m / 330 ft) and transmitter belt (20m / 66 ft). This indication however do not correspond to a diving depth but refer to the pressure at which the water overpressure test was conducted”.
This means that you can not dive to a depth of 100 meter / 330 ft with Suunto X6hr wristop computer nor 20m / 66 ft with transmitter belt.
Rain, shower, swimming and other normal exposure to water will not effect its operation but the buttons shall not be pressed if exposed to water in any circumstances.
NOTE! X6hr wristop computers and transmitter belts must not be used for diving.

1.3. ADJUSTING THE BRACELET (SUUNTO X6hrt)
The metal/elastomer bracelets of the Suunto X6hrt have to be adjusted for the user. The steps are
1. Remove the buckle by releasing the spring bars with pin, paper clip or other sharp object.
2. Remove both spring bars from the pin holes.
3. Shorten the bracelet by cutting along the grooves on the inner surface of the bracelet. You can do this for instance with scissors. If you are unsure of the correct length, cut the pieces one by one and test the length after cutting each piece. Cut in turns from both sides of the bracelet to keep the sides equally long. Be careful in order not to shorten the bracelet too much.
4. Replace the spring bars into the last pin holes of both sides of the bracelet.
5. Attach the buckle to the bracelet by placing the spring bars into the holes in the buckle. In both sides of the buckle are holes for two different positions. This can be used for fine adjusting of the bracelet length. Make sure that the spring bars are positioned straight in the buckle.
7
1.4. BATTERY REPLACEMENT
Suunto X6HR operates on a 3-Volt lithium cell, type: CR 2032. The life expectancy is approximately 12 months in Time/Weather modes.
A low-battery warning indicator is activated on the display when approximately 5–15 percent of the battery capacity is still available. When this occurs, you should replace the battery. However, extremely cold weather may activate the low battery warning indicator, even though the battery is still fully operational. If the battery warning indicator is activated in temperatures above 10°C (50°F), replace the battery.
NOTE: Heavy use of the backlight, altimeter, compass and heart rate monitor will significantly reduce battery life.
You can replace the batteries yourself as long as you do it properly to avoid any leakage of water into the battery compartment or computer. Always use original battery replacement kits. (They include a new battery, battery lid and O-ring.) You can purchase the battery kits from official Suunto retailers.
NOTE: When replacing the battery, also replace the battery lid and O-ring. Never use the old ones.
NOTE: Change the battery at your own risk. Suunto recommends you to have the batteries changed in official Suunto services.
8
REPLACING THE BATTERY
Make sure that you have purchased an original Suunto battery kit (including battery and battery lid with installed O-ring) before you start replacing the battery.
1. Insert a coin into the slot or a Suunto battery-opening coin into the slot or holes located in the battery compartment cover on the backside of your device.
2. Turn the coin counterclockwise until it is aligned with the open position marker. Then, turn and lift the cover with the coin simultaneously, until the cover opens.
9
3. Remove the battery compartment cover and the old battery carefully. Avoid damaging the contact plate.
4. Carefully clean the inside sealing surface of the battery compartment before placing your new battery in the compartment.
5. Place the new battery into the battery compartment with the positive side facing up. Gently slide the battery underneath the contact plate, ensuring that the contact plate does not break or bend out of place.
6. Place the new battery compartment cover on top of the battery compartment, aligning the position marker on the cover with the open position marker on the backside of your device.
7. Using the coin, gently press and turn the cover clockwise, until the position marker on the cover is aligned with the close position marker on the back.
NOTE: When the battery has been replaced, ensure that the battery compartment is correctly closed. This helps your Suunto device remain water-resistant. Careless battery replacement may void the warranty.
NOTE: Heavy use of the backlight, especially in the Night Use setting, will significantly reduce battery life.
10
1.5. BATTERY REPLACEMENT OF THE TRANSMITTER BELT
The transmitter belt operates on a 3-Volt lithium cell, type: CR 2032.
The transmitter belt’s average expected battery life is 300 hours of use in ideal operating temperatures.
When Suunto X6hr is not receiving a signal but the transmitter belt is active, a change of battery might be necessary. Refer to chapter 2.4.1. for other factors that may interfere with the correct signal.
To change the battery:
1. Insert a coin into the slot located on the battery compartment cover on the backside of the transmitter belt.
2. Turn the coin
counterclockwise until it is aligned with the open position marker, or
even slightly further for easy opening.
3. Remove the battery compartment cover. Ensure that the
O-ring and all surfaces are
clean and dry. Do not stretch the O-ring.
4. Carefully remove the old battery.
5. Place the new battery into the battery compartment with the positive side facing up.
11
6. With the O-ring in the correct position, replace the battery compartment cover and turn it with a coin clockwise until it is aligned with the closed position marker.
NOTE: You should change the battery cover and the O-ring simultaneously with the battery to ensure that the transmitter remains clean and waterresistant. Replacement covers are available with replacement batteries.
NOTE: Battery covers of the transmitter belt and the wristop computer are not interchangeable.
1.6. AFTER SALES SERVICE

2.3. MENUS
2.3.1. Basic Menu Structure
The menus are organized hierarchically under the modes. When you select a mode, its main display appears. When you press Suunto in the mode’s main display, the mode’s Function menu is displayed. The Function menu includes several functions and all the functions include sub-functions or settings. This is called the hierarchical menu structure.
2.3.2. Navigating in Menus
You can scroll the menu items with the up and down arrow buttons on the right side of Suunto X6hr. Three menu items are displayed at the same time. The menu item that is currently active and can thus be selected is displayed in reversed color. On the right side of the display there is an indicator bar showing the total number of menu items. The number of the active menu item is displayed next to the indicator bar.
To move deeper into the hierarchy, select a menu item and press Suunto. To return one step up in the hierarchy, press Stop/CL. Remember that if you just press Stop/CL, changes are not saved. First you have to accept them with the Suunto button.
If you want to return directly to the main display of the active mode, press either Suunto (saves the changes) or Stop/CL (discards the last change) for more than 2 seconds.
Suunto X6hr has been designed to guide you as much as possible when you navigate in the menus. When you perform a function, Suunto X6hr often automatically returns to the menu that you are likely to use next. Also, for example, if you try to do something that is impossible, Suunto X6hr first displays a message and then automatically recommends a function in reversed color to help you use the functions.
18
2.4. HEART RATE MONITOR AND TRANSMITTER BELT
The heart rate monitor is the premier feature of Suunto X6hr. It provides you with a versatile instrument for measuring and analyzing physical performance in different conditions. When used in conjunction with the altimeter function, the heart rate monitor allows you to observe changes in heart rate during ascents and descents and the impact of altitude on heart rate. The heart rates can be recorded in Suunto X6hr memory and transferred to a PC for analysis. The heart rate data is available in Hiking and Chrono modes.
2.4.1. 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.
It is best to position the Wristop computer within 3 feet (0,9 meters) of the transmitter. Ensure that no other transmitters are within that range; signals from other transmitter(s) can cause an incorrect readout.
Repeated kinetic shock to the Suunto X6hr may cause an incorrect heart rate readout and should be avoided.
2.4.2. 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 recommend an exercise test under a doctor’s supervision. This will ensure the safety and reliability of the pacemaker and the heart rate monitor when used simultaneously.
