[A ttaching the bike pod ]
Attach the Suunto Bike Pod to the hub of the front wheel of your jogging stroller or bike trailer, and the spoke magnet as close to the Bike Pod as possible o o With mag wheels, you can attach the magnet with a zip tie, double sided tape, or even super-glue With some jogging strollers or bike trailers, it may be difficult to obtain a short enough distance between the magnet and sensor. If so, try affixing a second magnet to close the distance. If the problem persists, contact us for suggestions.

[Attaching the bike pod]

Loosen the wheel attachment - You can attach the Bike Pod to forks that use both quick-release and traditional axle bolts.
Position your Bike Pod horizontally on the front axle between the fork and the wheel. - The Bike Pod logo (the logo on the battery case) must points towards the wheel and the suunto logos red arrow must be pointing upward. Refasten the wheel attachment.

The magnet must be facing the speed sensor, and pass it at a distance within 4-6 mm (0.2")
Attach the magnet to a spoke at the same level as the sensor. - With mag wheels, you can attach the magnet with a zip tie, double sided tape, or even superglue.
The Bike Pod and magnet shown together with proper spacing on the wheel.The magnet must be
aligned IN FRONT OF one of the dots on either side of the word "bike pod" - NOT in between the dots, or just in between the middle of the word "bike pod". Very important.

BIKE POD

[Activ ating and Deactiv ating the Bike POD]
Your Bike Pod activates automatically when the spoke magnet passes the speed sensor (i.e. when the front wheel spins).
[Est ablishing the Connection ]
With the Suunto t6 you must establish the connection every time you want to use your Bike Pod. o With the t3 or t4, this step is not necessary simply return to Training mode and select Speed and Distance
1. Spin the wheel so that the spoke magnet passes the sensor. 2. Select Connect in the Speed/Distance menu of your Suunto t6. o o o Suunto t6 informs you when the device is found. If the connection fails, the Suunto t6 displays the message NO DEVICES FOUND. Spin the wheel again to ensure that the Bike Pod is active and try again.

[calibra tion ]

o o o The Suunto Bike POD and Training Watch need a specific calibration factor that takes the tire size into consideration For the measurements to be accurate, you must adjust the calibration factor of your Suunto to match that of your wheel size To define the exact calibration factor, measure the tire circumference or calibrate your Bike Pod using a known distance. Method A: Measuring the Circumference Manually
1. Set a measuring cord on the floor. 2. Ride along the cord or tape so that the tires rotate fully at least once. 3. Measure the covered distance with the accuracy of a millimeter. Divide the distance with the number of rotations if more than one rotation. 4. Divide the circumference by 2050 (e.g. 2096 / 2050 = 1.022439 = 1.022).

Method B: Calibrating the Bike Pod Using a Known Distance
1. Reset the distance measurement at the start line. 2. Press START/STOP in SPD/DST mode and cover a known distance. For example: 1 km 3. Press START/STOP to stop the measurement 4. Select Calibrate in the SPD/DST mode. 7. Select Bike POD and replace the measured distance with the correct distance.
Method C: Calibrating the Bike POD Using the Calibration Factor Table
Because of the differences in the tire pressure, tread pattern, and measurement methods, the table is relative. 1. Measure your tire size, and find the appropriate calibration factor in the table See: Appendix of Bike POD Manual 2. In the Speed/Distance menu, select Calibrate. 3. Select Bike POD. 4. Select Cal. 5. Select the correct calibration factor with UP/DOWN.
