WARNING: People who have a pacemaker, defibrillator, or other implanted electronic device use the hear rate belt at their own risk. Before starting the initial use of the heart rate belt, we recommend an exercise test under a doctor’s supervision. This ensures the safety and reliability of the pacemaker and heart rate belt when being used simultaneously. Exercise may include some risk, especially for those who have been inactive.

10 FUSEDSPEED FusedSpeedTM is a unique combination of GPS and wrist acceleration sensor readings for measuring your running speed more accurately. GPS signal is adaptively filtered based on wrist acceleration, giving more accurate readings at steady running speeds and a quicker response to changes in speed. FusedSpeedTM will benefit you the most when you need highly reactive speed readings during training, for example, when running on uneven terrain or during interval training.
NOTE: FusedSpeedTM is meant for running and other similar type of activities. TIP: To get the most accurate readings with FusedSpeedTM, only glance shortly at the watch when needed. Holding the watch in front of you without moving it reduces the accuracy.

11 NAVIGATION 11.1 Using GPS Suunto Ambit2 R uses Global Positioning System (GPS) in determining your current position. GPS incorporates a set of satellites that orbit the Earth at an altitude of 20,000 km at the speed of 4 km/s. The built-in GPS receiver in Suunto Ambit2 R is optimized for wrist use and receives data from a very wide angle. 11.1.
TIP: To minimize GPS initiation time, hold the watch steady with GPS facing up and make sure you are in an open area so that the watch has a clear view of the sky. Troubleshooting: No GPS signal • • • • For an optimal signal, point the GPS part of the watch upwards. The best signal can be received in an open area with a clear view of the sky. The GPS receiver usually works well inside tents and other thin covers.

NOTE: You can also navigate when you are recording an exercise, see Section 9.6.6 Navigating during exercise on page 45.
6. Start navigating to the POI. The watch displays the following information: • indicator showing the direction to your target (see further explanation below) • your distance from the target • the name of the POI you are heading towards, your difference from the correct direction of travel in degrees (0° is the correct heading), or alternatively your current direction of travel as a cardinal 7.

When stationary or moving slowly (<4 km/h), the difference is based on how the watch is oriented according to the compass. To find the correct direction of travel, hold the watch in front of you with 12:00 pointing away from you and turn yourself. At high speeds (>4 km/h), the difference is based on your actual direction of movement according to GPS.

12 USING 3D COMPASS Suunto Ambit2 R has a 3D 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. The compass is a temporary display that needs to be activated. To activate the compass: 1. While in a sport mode, keep [Next] pressed to enter the options menu. 2. Scroll to ACTIVATE with [Light Lock] and select with [Next]. 3. Scroll to COMPASS with [Start Stop] and select with [Next].
The compass will switch itself to power saving mode after one minute. Reactivate it with [Start Stop]. For information on using compass during exercise, see Section 9.6.4 Using compass during exercise on page 43. 12.1 Calibrating compass COMPASS mode asks you to calibrate the compass before you start using it. If you have already calibrated the compass and want to re-calibrate it, you can access the calibration option in the options menu. To calibrate the compass: 1.
If the calibration is successful, the text CALIBRATION SUCCESSFUL is displayed. If the calibration does not succeed, the text CALIBRATION FAILED is displayed. To retry the calibration, press [Start Stop]. 12.2 Setting declination value 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.
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 declination value to 0 degrees. To set the declination value: 1. Keep [Next] pressed to enter the options menu. 2. Press [Next] to enter GENERAL. 3. Scroll to Compass using [Light Lock] and select with [Next]. 4.

14 PAIRING POD/HEART RATE BELT Pair your Suunto Ambit2 R with an optional Suunto heart rate belt or Foot POD to receive additional speed, distance, and cadence information during exercise. Other ANT+ heart rate belts or foot PODs can also be used. Visit www.thisisant.com/directory for a list of compatible ANT+ products. The heart rate belt and/or POD included in your Suunto Ambit2 R package are already paired. Pairing is required only if you want to use a new heart rate belt or a POD with the watch.
GENERAL PAIR PERSONAL Bike PODs Power POD HR belt Foot POD Cadence P.. Bike PODs Power POD HR belt Foot POD Cadence P.. TIP: You can also activate the heart rate belt by moistening and pressing both electrode contact areas. Troubleshooting: Heart rate belt pairing fails If the heart rate belt pairing fails, try the following: • Check that the strap is connected to the module. • Check that you are wearing the heart rate belt correctly (see Section 9.4 Putting on heart rate belt on page 36).
14.1 Using Foot POD When using a foot POD, the POD is auto calibrated by GPS at short intervals during exercise. However, the foot POD always remains the source of speed and distance when it is paired and active for the given sport mode. Foot POD auto calibration is on by default. It can be turned off in the sport mode options menu under ACTIVATE, if the Foot POD is paired and is used for the selected sport mode. NOTE: Foot POD refers to both Suunto Foot POD Mini and any other ANT+ foot POD.
Scroll with [Next] through summary views, until you reach the distance summary. Adjust the distance shown on the display to the actual distance you ran with [Start Stop] and [Light Lock]. Confirm with [Next]. 7. Confirm the POD calibration by pressing [Start Stop]. Your foot POD has now been calibrated. NOTE: If the foot POD connection was unstable during the calibration exercise, you might not be able to adjust the distance in the distance summary.

16 CARE AND MAINTENANCE Handle the unit with care – do not knock or drop it. Under normal circumstances the watch will not require servicing. After use, rinse it with fresh water, mild soap, and carefully clean the housing with a moist soft cloth or chamois. For more information on care and maintenance of the unit, refer to the comprehensive range of support materials, including Questions and Answers and instruction videos, available at www.suunto.com.
NOTE: Water resistance is not equivalent to functional operating depth. The water resistance marking refers to static air/water tightness withstanding showers, bathing, swimming, poolside diving and snorkeling. To maintain water resistance, it is recommended to: • never use the watch for other than intended use. • contact an authorized Suunto service, distributor or retailer for any repairs. • keep the watch clean from dirt and sand. • never attempt to open the case yourself.
NOTE: In case of abnormal capacity decrease due to defective battery, Suunto warranty covers the battery replacement for 1 year or for at maximum 300 charging times, whichever comes first. TIP: If the watch is taking GPS fix each second, the charge lasts at least ~8 hours. If the watch is taking GPS fix only every 60 seconds, the duration of the charge is ~25 hours. The battery icon indicates the charge level of the battery.
