1 INTRODUCTION Thank you for choosing Suunto t1/t1c as your training companion.

2 DEFINING MAIN SETTINGS en Before you start training, you need to define GENERAL and PERSONAL settings. They ensure accurate measurements and calculations. You are prompted to define the main settings the first time you wake up the device (by pressing any button). If you want to learn more about these settings and modify them, continue reading. Otherwise, you can skip to the next chapter. 2.

Accept the value and move to the next setting by pressing [Mode]. 4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 as needed. 5. Press [Start Stop] to exit. 2.2 Personal settings Through the PERSONAL settings, you tune your Suunto heart rate monitor according to your physical traits and activity.

Keep in mind the units you defined in GENERAL 3. Accept the value and move to the next setting by pressing [Mode]. 4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 as needed. 5. Press [Start Stop] to exit.
Easy going If you do not participate regularly in recreational sports or heavy physical activity, perhaps just walking or doing some light exercise, use 1. Recreational If you participate regularly in recreational sports or do physical work, and your weekly exercise is: ● less than 1 hour, use 2. ● more than 1 hour, use 3. Fitness If you participate regularly in sports or other physical activity, and you exercise heavily: ● under 30 minutes per week, use 4. ● 30-60 minutes per week, use 5.
● 11-13 hours, use 9. ● 13-15 hours, use 9.5. ● over 15 hours, use 10. en 2.2.2 Maximum heart rate Once you have entered your date of birth, your device automatically sets the maximum heart rate (MAX HR) using the formula 210 – (0.65 x AGE). If you know your real maximum, you should use that value.
3 USING TRAINING MODE The TRAINING mode handles measurement of all your training activity. 3.1 Putting on your transmitter belt Put on the belt as illustrated and switch to TRAINING mode to start monitoring your heart rate. Moisten both contact areas (1) with water or gel before putting the belt on. Ensure the belt is centered on your chest.
WARNING: If you have a pacemaker, defibrillator, or other implanted electronic device, you use the transmitter belt at your own risk. Before using it, we recommend an exercise test with your Suunto heat rate monitor and belt under a doctor’s supervision. Exercise may include some risk, especially for those who have been inactive. We strongly advise you to consult your doctor prior to beginning a regular exercise program. 3.
If your peak heart rate exceeded the defined maximum, your Suunto heart rate monitor will ask you if you want to update to the new peak value when you clear the session. 3.3 During training Your Suunto t1/t1c has a number of visual and audio indicators to help guide you during training. This information can be both helpful and rewarding. Here are some ideas on what to do while training: ● Lock the buttons to avoid accidentally stopping your log recorder.
3.4.2 Viewing training totals Your Suunto t1/t1c stores your training sessions and summarizes the data according to weeks and months.
4 USING HEART RATE LIMITS AND ZONES 4.1 Heart rate limits Setting upper and lower heart rate limits for yourself can help you keep your exercising at the correct intensity. In the HR LIMITS menu, you can set the heart rate limits on or off, define the upper and lower limits, and turn the heart rate alarm on or off.
NOTE: The heart rate limits are displayed with dashes on the left outer rim of the display if the limits are activated. Possible real life situation: Staying in the zone You want to have a good, tough training session today, so you set your heart rate limits to equal your Zone 3 limits and turn the heart rate limit alarm on. Your Suunto heart rate monitor notifies you when you go too slow, or push too hard! 4.2 Heart rate zones Heart rate zones are defined as percentages of your maximum heart rate.
In the HR ZONES menu, you can turn on the zone feature, define zone limits, and turn tones on or off. When the zones feature and the tones are turned on, your device alerts you with a beep when you move from one zone to another. Setting Value hr zones z1 on / off %-% z2 z3 tone % % on / off Description Heart rate zone feature: on or off Zone 1: upper and lower limit in percent of maximum heart rate Zone 2: upper limit Zone 3: upper limit Zone tone: on or off To change HR ZONES settings: 1.
5 USING TIME MODE en TIME mode handles the time of day in two time zones: main time and dual time. In the TIME-DATE menu, you have the following settings: Setting alarm alarm time dual time date Value on / off hours / minutes hours / minutes / seconds hours / minutes year / month / day Description Alarm feature: on or off Alarm time: hours and minutes Main time: hours, minutes and seconds Dual time: hours and minutes Current date: year, month and day 5.
Possible real life situation: Knowing the time at home You are traveling abroad and you set the dual time to be the time at home. The main time is the time at your current location. Now you always know the local time and you can quickly check what time it is at home. NOTE: We recommend that you set the current time at your current location as the main time because the alarm clock operates according to the main time. 5.2 Setting the alarm To set the alarm: 1.
6 GENERAL FEATURES en 6.1 Backlight You activate the backlight by pressing [Light -]. The backlight turns off automatically. If you want to use the backlight when changing settings, you need to activate it before entering the settings. The backlight will re-activate whenever a button is pressed. This feature will stay on until you exit the settings. NOTE: Heavy use of the backlight significantly reduces battery life. 6.
TIP: We recommend you lock the buttons, for example, after you have started a training session or are storing the device in a travel bag. 6.3 Sleep mode You put your Suunto heart rate monitor to sleep to extend battery life or to erase the recorded training history. Personal settings are not erased. 1. To switch to sleep mode, simultaneously keep [Start Stop], [Lap +], [Light -] and [View Back] pressed. 2. To reactive your device, press any button.
2. Press the battery into the compartment positive side down to reset the belt. 3. Put the battery back in correctly and close the cover. 4. Switch to TRAINING mode. Use this same procedure to pair your belt with your Suunto t1/t1c.
7 TROUBLESHOOTING Suunto t1/t1c uses coded transmission to prevent reading disturbances. However, exercising near overhead power lines or magnetic or electronic devices may cause interference with the signal. If you lose the signal, try the following: ● Exit and then re-enter TRAINING mode. ● Check that you are wearing the belt correctly. ● Check that the electrode areas of the belt are moist. ● Move away from any potential sources of interference.
