41. GENERAL INFORMATIONSuunto t6 is your personal tool for better performance in sports. It measures the timebetween your heartbeats with the accuracy of milliseconds and records it for deeperanalysis. The Suunto Training Manager PC software uses the heart rate variationdata to analyze the effect of your training and to calculate several other bodyparameters. Relating this information with your current fitness level, the software alsoindicates the scale of training load that you need for different training effects.For the first time, in field conditions Suunto t6 tells you whether your training reallyimproves your condition and helps you adjust your training programs accordingly.When you set the target effect for your training, you can use the software to calculatethe time and heart rate to reach it. During a training session, Suunto t6 helps youreach the target by offering several control functions such as heart rate limits, realtime average heart rate, and a customizable display of stopwatch, lap time, intervaltimer and altitude. Together with versatile timing, altimeter and logbook functions thismakes Suunto t6 a perfect performance monitor for all kinds of sports at allperformance levels.Suunto t6 can be upgraded with different wireless accessories such as speed anddistance sensors for running and cycling.NOTE: Read this Instruction manual carefully and make sure you understand theuse, displays and limitations of this instrument before using the device.

71.3. CARE AND MAINTENANCEOnly perform the procedures described in this manual. Never attempt to disassembleor service your Suunto t6. Protect your Suunto t6 from shocks, extreme heat andprolonged exposure to direct sunlight. If not in use, store your Suunto t6 in a cleanand dry environment at room temperature.Your Suunto t6 can be wiped clean with a lightly moistened (warm water) cloth. Ifthere are stubborn stains or marks, you can apply mild soap to the area. Do notexpose your Suunto t6 to strong chemicals such as gasoline, cleaning solvents,acetone, alcohol, insect repellents, adhesives and paint, as they will damage theunit’s seals, case and finish. Keep the area around the sensor free of dirt and sand.Never insert any objects into the sensor opening.1.4. WATER RESISTANCEYour Suunto t6 is water resistant up to 100 m/330 ft. and the transmitter belt to 20m/66ft. according to ISO 2281 standard (www.iso.ch). This means that you can useSuunto t6 for swimming and other water sports activities but it should not be used forscuba diving or freediving.To maintain water resistance and to ensure that the warranty remains valid, it isstrongly recommended to have all service, except for battery change, to be done byauthorized Suunto service personnel.NOTE: Do not push the buttons while swimming or in contact with water under anycircumstances. Deliberate or unintentional pressing of the buttons while the unit issubmerged could cause the unit to malfunction.NOTE: Despite the fact that both the Suunto t6 and the transmitter belt are waterresistant, the radio signal does not carry in water making communication betweenSuunto t6 and the transmitter belt impossible.
81.5. REPLACING THE BATTERYYour Suunto t6 operates on a 3-Volt lithium cell, type: CR 2032. The life expectancy isapproximately 12 months in the Time mode or 300 hours of heart rate transmission inideal operating temperatures.The low-battery warning indicator is activated on the display whenapproximately 5–15 percent of the battery capacity is still available. When this occurs,you should replace the battery. However, extremely cold weather may activate thelow battery warning indicator, even though the battery is still fully operational. If thebattery warning indicator is activated in temperatures above 10°C (50°F), replace thebattery.NOTE: When the low-battery indicator is on, the HR transmission becomes automati-cally disabled.To replace the battery:1. Insert a coin into the slot located on the battery compartment cover on the backsideof Suunto t6.2. Turn the coin counterclockwise until it is aligned with the open position marker.
93. Remove the battery compartment cover. Ensure that the O ring and all surfaces areclean and dry. Do not stretch the O ring.4. Remove the old battery carefully.5. Place the new battery into the battery compartment with the positive side facing up.Make sure to gently slide the battery underneath the contact plate on the side,ensuring that it does not break or bend out of place.6. With the O ring in the correct position, replace the battery compartment cover andturn it with the coin clockwise until it is aligned with the close position marker.NOTE: Replace the battery with extreme care to ensure that your Suunto t6 remainswater resistant. Careless battery replacement may void warranty.NOTE: Heavy use of the backlight, especially in the Night Use setting, will signifi-cantly reduce battery life.1.6. REPLACING THE BATTERY OF THE TRANSMITTER BELTThe transmitter belt operates on a 3-Volt lithium cell, type: CR 2032.The average expected battery life of the transmitter belt is 300 hours of use in idealoperating temperatures.When your Suunto t6 is not receiving a signal, when the transmitter belt is active, youmight need to replace the battery.NOTE: When the low-battery indicator is on, the HR transmission becomes automati-cally disabled.
10To replace the battery:1. Insert a coin into the slot located on the battery compartment cover on the backsideof the transmitter belt.2. Turn the coin counterclockwise until it is aligned with the open position marker, oreven slightly further for easy opening.3. Remove the battery compartment cover. Ensure that the O ring and all surfaces areclean and dry. Do not stretch the O ring. 4. Carefully remove the old battery.5.

293.3. ALTI/BARO MODEThe Alti/Baro mode has two alternative displays: Altitude and related parameters inAlti Use and weather data such as barometric pressure and temperature in Baro use.With the Use selection you can select whether you use this mode as an altimeter oras a weather station. The Alti/Baro mode also contains the weather memory and thereference setting needed to relate the current weather state to your current altitude.3.3.1. Use (Alti/Baro)With this function you can set Suunto t6 to display either barometric or altitude-relatedinformation. It also defines whether the Training logbook records altitude profile ornot.When the Alti use is active, Suunto t6 assumes that all the barometric pressurechanges are due to altitude changes. The logbook in the Training mode recordsaltitude data. Alti is intended for measuring the altitude whenever you are on themove. However, since substantial barometric pressure changes can take place duringa day, you should compare the changes reported by Suunto t6 to well-knownreferences. If these differ from each other too much, the reason is the weatherchange and you should set a new reference value as advised in section 3.3.4.Reference altitude and barometric pressure. A general rule is that a 10 m change inaltitude equals 1,2 hPa in the barometric pressure at sea level and 0,5 hPa at 8000m.When the Baro use is active, Suunto t6 assumes that all the barometric pressurechanges are due to weather changes. The training logbook does not record altitudedata. Baro use is practical for following and predicting weather trends when staying ina constant altitude.
