While recording an exercise you can lock both the buttons and screen by keeping the lower
right button pressed. Once locked, you cannot change the display views, but you can turn on
the backlight with any button press if the backlight is in automatic mode.
To unlock everything, keep the lower right button pressed again.
When you are not recording an exercise, the screen locks and dims after one minute of
inactivity. To activate the screen, press any button.
The screen also goes to sleep (blank) after a period of inactivity. Any movement turns the
screen on again.
3.8. Chest heart rate sensor
You can use a Bluetooth
Ⓡ
Smart compatible heart rate sensor, such as the Suunto Smart
Sensor, with your Suunto 9 to get accurate information about your exercise intensity.
If you use the Suunto Smart Sensor, you also have the added advantage of heart rate
memory. The sensor memory function
buers data if the connection to your watch is
interrupted, for example, when swimming (no transmission under water).
It also means you can even leave your watch behind after starting a recording. For more
information, please refer to the Suunto Smart Sensor User Guide.
Refer to the user guide for Suunto Smart Sensor or other Bluetooth
Ⓡ
Smart compatible heart
rate sensor for additional information.
See 3.23. Pairing PODs and sensors for instructions on how to pair an HR sensor with your
watch.

Suunto 9 has a digital compass that allows you to orient yourself in relation to magnetic north.

The compass display includes the following information:
•
Arrow pointing to magnetic north
•
