- TIP: Wear the strap against your bare skin for best results.
- NOTE: Dry skin under the belt electrodes, a loose belt, and synthetic shirt materials can cause abnormally high heart rate readings. Moisten the belt electrodes well and tighten the belt to avoid heart rate peaks. If you are otherwise concerned about ...

- 3.10.6 Making laps
- NOTE: The exercise summary always shows at least one lap, your exercise from start to finish. The laps you have made during the exercise are shown as additional laps.
- NOTE: If the GPS accuracy setting (see 3.23.3 GPS accuracy and power saving) of your sport mode is Good or lower, while navigating GPS accuracy switches to Best. Battery consumption is therefore higher.
- 3.10.9 Setting altitude during exercise
- 3.11 Find back
- 3.12 Firmware updates
- 3.13 FusedAlti
- NOTE: By default, altitude is measured with FusedAlti during exercises that use GPS and during navigation. When GPS is switched off, altitude is measured with the barometric sensor.
- NOTE: In good conditions it takes 4 – 12 minutes for FusedAlti to activate. During that time, Suunto Traverse shows barometric altitude and ~ is shown with the altitude reading to indicate that the altitude may not be correct.

- TIP: Connect to Movescount to get the latest firmware update for your Suunto Traverse.
- NOTE: The first time your Suunto Traverse is connected to Movescount all information (including the watch settings) is transferred from the watch to your Movescount account. The next time you connect your Suunto Traverse to your Movescount account, ch...
- TIP: With any move that is stored in Movescount, you can add pictures as well as create a Suunto Movie of the move using Suunto Movescount App.
- NOTE: You can change your Suunto Traverse general settings offline. Customizing sport modes and keeping time, date and GPS satellite data up to date require an internet connection over Wi-Fi or mobile network. Carrier data connection fees may apply.
- NOTE: Carrier data connection fees may apply when syncing between Suunto Movescount App and your Movescount account.

- 3.26.1 Checking your location
- TIP: You can also check your location while you are recording an exercise by keeping [Next] pressed to access the options menu.
- TIP: You can create POIs in Movescount by selecting a location on a map or inserting the coordinates. POIs in your Suunto Traverse and in Movescount are always synchronized when you connect the watch to Movescount.
- You can quickly save your current location as a POI by long pressing the View button. This can be done from any mode.

- NOTE: The storm alarm does not work if you have altimeter profile activated. See 3.2.2 Matching profile to activity.
- TIP: You can also activate or deactivate the storm alarm through the options menu in a sport mode.
- TIP: Remember to register your Suunto Traverse at www.suunto.com/support to get personalized support.
- NOTE: Water resistance is not equivalent to functional operating depth. The water resistance marking refers to static air/ water tightness withstanding shower, bathing, swimming, poolside diving and snorkeling.
- 4.3 Charging the battery
- NOTE: In case of abnormal capacity decrease due to defective battery, Suunto warranty covers the battery replacement for one year or for at maximum 300 charging times, whichever comes first.
- TIP: Go to Movescount to change the GPS fix interval of your sport modes to save battery life. For more information, see

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 altitude reference value accordingly and
switch from Barometer to Altimeter profile. Your altitude readings are correct
again.
Incorrect readings
If your Altimeter profile is on for an extended period of time with the
device in a fixed location while the local weather changes, the device will
give incorrect altitude readings.
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 in sea
level air pressure. It will therefore give you incorrect sea level air pressure
readings.
3.2.3 Using Altimeter profile
The Altimeter profile calculates altitude based on reference values.
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
