3.1. RECEIVING THE TIME When your Suunto n6HR receives a broadcast signal, it should automatically receive the correct time from an atomic clock. This happens even if you have not yet activated the MSN Direct service. As long as your Suunto n6HR keeps on receiving the signal, you do not need to set the time. The time is accurate to a few thousands of a second, and it automatically adjusts for daylight saving time and leap years. In addition, your Suunto n6HR automatically switches to different time zones as you travel from place to place. NOTE: When you turn on your Suunto n6HR, it may take a few minutes to receive the time from an atomic clock. If you are in an area where your Suunto n6HR cannot receive a signal, you can set the time manually. You can also change the time display from a 12-hour clock to a 24hour clock, and you can override the automatic time zone setting. For more details, see Chapter 6. Settings.

If you change the watch face, the previously selected sub-mode will also be visible there provided that the watch face supports it. So, for example, if you have selected to display the date, and you then decide to choose a new watch face, the date will be visible there, too. However, if your current watch face displays seconds, and you then select a watch face that does not support such a sub-mode, the seconds will not be displayed. 3.3.1. Downloading a watch face Give your Suunto n6HR a new look to reflect your personal style. You can download one or two faces, and keep up to two downloaded faces at a time. New watch faces will be added regularly. To download a new watch face, register as an MSN direct user and select the desired watch face.

4. HEART RATE TRANSMITTER BELT
Here you can learn how to use the heart rate transmitter belt in your training activities. This chapter also contains important information on HR limits, care of the transmitter belt, possible disturbances in the signal reception, and warnings. For information on replacing the battery, see Chapter 5. Battery. 4.1. PUTTING ON YOUR TRANSMITTER BELT We recommend that you wear the transmitter against your bare skin to ensure flawless operation.
The electrodes must be wet during the exercise. Raise the transmitter a little off your chest and moisten the grooved electrode area on the backside. Check that the wet electrode areas are firmly against your skin and the logo is in a central upright position.
4.2. MONITORING YOUR HEART RATE You can monitor your heart rate in the Chrono mode. The heart rate is visible on the top row of the main display when you wear the HR transmitter belt and your Suunto n6HR receives the HR signal from the belt. If your Suunto n6HR receives the signal, the HR text blinks at the same pace as your current heart rate. If there is no signal, the top row displays ---. 4.3. SETTING THE HR LIMITS With this function you can set the limits for your target heart rate zone. This is useful when you, for example, want to keep your HR at an optimum level for fat burning. When the chronograph is active, your Suunto n6HR alerts you whenever your heart rate goes outside the preset zone using alarm signals. To set the HR limits: 1. Enter the Chrono mode. 2. Press ENTER to access the chronograph sub-menu. 3. Select HR limits. 4. Set the HR limits On with PREVIOUS and NEXT/STOP and press ENTER. NOTE: When the chronograph is active, you can toggle between HR limits on and off by long pressing ENTER. 5. Adjust the High and Low limits with PREVIOUS and NEXT/STOP, and press ENTER.
4.4. TRANSMITTER BELT USAGE IN WATER Heart rate measurement in water is technically demanding for the following reasons: Pool water with a high chlorine content and seawater may be very conductive, and the electrodes of the transmitter may get short-circuited. The transmitter unit cannot detect the ECG (electrocardiogram) signals. Jumping into the water or strenuous muscle movement during swimming may cause water resistance that shifts the transmitter on the body to a location where it cannot pick up the ECG signal. The ECG signal strength varies depending on the individuals tissue composition. People have more problems with heart rate measurement in water than elsewhere. 4.5. CARE OF THE TRANSMITTER BELT Wash the transmitter belt with mild soap and water after each use. Rinse it with clean water, and dry thoroughly and carefully. Store it in a cool and dry place. Never leave it wet because moisture keeps the electrodes wet and the transmitter activated thereby shortening the battery life. Do not bend or stretch the transmitter; this may damage the electrodes. 4.6. ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE Disturbances in the HR signal reception may occur near high voltage power lines, traffic lights, overhead lines of electric railways, electric bus or tram lines, televisions, car motors, bike computers, some motor driven exercise equipment, cellular phones or when you walk through electric security gates.

A notification message appears. Suunto n6HR goes into the low battery mode. The radio turns off and stops receiving new information. Suunto n6HR switches to the Time channel after 5 minutes. The watch face may switch to one that uses less battery power. Suunto n6HR shuts down and the screen goes blank. Suunto n6HR conserves the contents of its memory.
5.2. CHARGING THE BATTERY If your Suunto n6HR has a remaining battery charge of 30% or less, you should charge it as soon as possible. Charging the Suunto n6HR takes up to 5 hours. To charge your Suunto n6HR: 1. Connect the USB cable to the adapter. Plug the adapter into an electrical outlet. 2. Connect the USB cables data snake to your Suunto n6HR. 3. Wait for the Suunto n6HR to fully charge. The message CHARGED is displayed when the battery is fully charged. NOTE: You can also charge your Suunto n6HR directly from your PC via the USB cable but first you need to install the USB software. The USB software installation package is on the CD delivered with your Suunto n6HR. See Chapter 6. for installation instructions. 5.3. REPLACING THE BATTERY OF THE TRANSMITTER BELT The transmitter belt operates on a 3-Volt lithium cell, type: CR 2032. The average expected battery life of the transmitter belt is 300 hours of use in ideal operating temperatures. If your Suunto n6HR does not receive a signal when the transmitter belt is active, you might need to replace the battery.

To replace the battery:

1. Insert a coin into the slot located on the battery compartment cover on the backside of the transmitter belt. 2. Turn the coin counterclockwise until it is aligned with the open position marker, or even slightly further for easy opening. 3. Remove the battery compartment cover. Ensure that the O ring and all surfaces are clean and dry. Do not stretch the O ring. 4. Carefully remove the old battery. 5. Place the new battery into the battery compartment with the positive side facing up. NOTE: We recommend that you replace the battery cover and the O ring simultaneously with the battery to ensure that the transmitter remains clean and water resistant. Replacement covers are available with replacement batteries. NOTE: Change the battery at your own risk. We recommend that you have the batteries replaced at authorized Suunto service centers.

6. SETTINGS

You can adjust all the settings of your Suunto n6HR in the Settings mode, which is divided into four categories: Date, Time, General, and Units.

3.1. RECEIVING THE TIME When your Suunto n6HR receives a broadcast signal, it should automatically receive the correct time from an atomic clock. This happens even if you have not yet activated the MSN Direct service. As long as your Suunto n6HR keeps on receiving the signal, you do not need to set the time. The time is accurate to a few thousands of a second, and it automatically adjusts for daylight saving time and leap years. In addition, your Suunto n6HR automatically switches to different time zones as you travel from place to place. NOTE: When you turn on your Suunto n6HR, it may take a few minutes to receive the time from an atomic clock. If you are in an area where your Suunto n6HR cannot receive a signal, you can set the time manually. You can also change the time display from a 12-hour clock to a 24hour clock, and you can override the automatic time zone setting. For more details, see Chapter 6. Settings.

With the sub-modes you can customize the watch face to display the date, dual time, heart rate (and on some watch faces seconds) in addition to the regular time display. If you change the watch face, the previously selected sub-mode will also be visible there provided that the watch face supports it. So, for example, if you have selected to display the date, and you then decide to choose a new watch face, the date will be visible there, too. However, if your current watch face displays seconds, and you then select a watch face that does not support such a sub-mode, the seconds will not be displayed. 3.3.1. Downloading a watch face Give your Suunto n6HR a new look to reflect your personal style. You can download one or two faces, and keep up to two downloaded faces at a time. New watch faces will be added regularly. To download a new watch face, register as an MSN direct user and select the desired watch face.

4. HEART RATE TRANSMITTER BELT
Here you can learn how to use the heart rate transmitter belt in your training activities. This chapter also contains important information on HR limits, care of the transmitter belt, possible disturbances in the signal reception, and warnings. For information on replacing the battery, see Chapter 5. Battery. 4.1. PUTTING ON YOUR TRANSMITTER BELT We recommend that you wear the transmitter against your bare skin to ensure flawless operation.
The electrodes must be wet during the exercise. Raise the transmitter a little off your chest and moisten the grooved electrode area on the backside. Check that the wet electrode areas are firmly against your skin and the logo is in a central upright position.
4.2. MONITORING YOUR HEART RATE You can monitor your heart rate in the Chrono mode. The heart rate is visible on the top row of the main display when you wear the HR transmitter belt and your Suunto n6HR receives the HR signal from the belt. If your Suunto n6HR receives the signal, the HR text blinks at the same pace as your current heart rate. If there is no signal, the top row displays ---. 4.3. SETTING THE HR LIMITS With this function you can set the limits for your target heart rate zone. This is useful when you, for example, want to keep your HR at an optimum level for fat burning. When the chronograph is active, your Suunto n6HR alerts you whenever your heart rate goes outside the preset zone using alarm signals. To set the HR limits: 1. Enter the Chrono mode. 2. Press ENTER to access the chronograph sub-menu. 3. Select HR limits. 4. Set the HR limits On with PREVIOUS and NEXT/STOP and press ENTER. NOTE: When the chronograph is active, you can toggle between HR limits on and off by long pressing ENTER. 5. Adjust the High and Low limits with PREVIOUS and NEXT/STOP, and press ENTER.
4.4. TRANSMITTER BELT USAGE IN WATER Heart rate measurement in water is technically demanding for the following reasons: Pool water with a high chlorine content and seawater may be very conductive, and the electrodes of the transmitter may get short-circuited. The transmitter unit cannot detect the ECG (electrocardiogram) signals. Jumping into the water or strenuous muscle movement during swimming may cause water resistance that shifts the transmitter on the body to a location where it cannot pick up the ECG signal. The ECG signal strength varies depending on the individuals tissue composition. People have more problems with heart rate measurement in water than elsewhere. 4.5. CARE OF THE TRANSMITTER BELT Wash the transmitter belt with mild soap and water after each use. Rinse it with clean water, and dry thoroughly and carefully. Store it in a cool and dry place. Never leave it wet because moisture keeps the electrodes wet and the transmitter activated thereby shortening the battery life. Do not bend or stretch the transmitter; this may damage the electrodes. 4.6. ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE Disturbances in the HR signal reception may occur near high voltage power lines, traffic lights, overhead lines of electric railways, electric bus or tram lines, televisions, car motors, bike computers, some motor driven exercise equipment, cellular phones or when you walk through electric security gates.

6.2. TIME Normally the network provides you with the right time and local time zone. However, if you have no network coverage, you can also update the time manually. 6.2.1. Setting the time To set the time: 1. In the Settings mode, select Time. 2. Select Set time. 3. Set seconds, minutes, hours (and am/pm if the 12h unit is in use) with NEXT/STOP or PREVIOUS, and accept them with ENTER.
6.2.2. Setting the time zone By default, the time zone is set to Set by network and it reflects the time zone that corresponds to the atomic clock that the Suunto n6HR is currently set to. This means that the time zone is updated automatically as you move from place to place. You can also set the time zone manually. To set the time zone: 1. In the Time display, select Set time zone. 2. Select your local time zone with NEXT/STOP or PREVIOUS, and press ENTER. 6.2.3. Setting the dual zone Some of the optional time faces also have a dual time function. You can use this function to keep track of two different time zones. For example, if you are traveling and want to keep track of your home time and local time. To set the second time zone: 1. In the Time display, select Set dualzone. 2. Select a suitable time zone with NEXT/STOP or PREVIOUS and press ENTER.
6.3. GENERAL To make your Suunto n6HR better suited to your needs, you can adjust different settings such as button tones, backlight, radio/watch sleep and splash screen transition styles. You can also find information for checking the signal strength and battery status. To change the general settings: 1. In the Settings mode, select General. 2. Select the setting you want to adjust. 3. Adjust the settings with NEXT/STOP or PREVIOUS, and accept them with ENTER. Radio sleep allows you to turn the radio off to save battery power. This is a good option if you are traveling in an area where there is no signal coverage. The radio off icon ( ) is displayed in the upper right corner of most Suunto n6HR displays. Normally you should keep your radio on so that you can receive broadcast information to your channels. Watch sleep allows you to turn the display of your Suunto n6HR off to save battery power. This is a good option if you know you will not be using your Suunto n6HR for a while, for example, during the night. When you turn off your Suunto n6HR, the radio is also automatically turned off. However, all the other functions work normally even when the Suunto n6HR display is turned off. You can turn the display back on with the press of any button. Button tones can be set either on or off. When set to off, button presses are not acknowledged with tones.
Backlight has three options: Normal: Backlight is turned on with the long press of START/LAP/LIGHT. This is the recommended setting for normal use. Off: Backlight cannot be activated with any of the buttons. This is a good setting for power saving purposes. All buttons: Backlight is turned on with the press of any of the buttons. This is a good setting if you have to use your Suunto n6HR in a dark environment. Transitions allows you to customize the channel transitions. Splash delay allows you to adjust the amount of time the splash screen stays on the display. While the splash screen is visible, you can switch channels. The longer the Splash delay is, the more time you have to react. In Watch info, you can check the general information about your Suunto n6HR. This information includes the signal strength and battery life status.

I activated the MSN Direct service, but my Suunto n6HR is not receiving any of the information I selected. What should I do? You may not have received the activation and configuration message that was sent when you activated the service. This can happen if you were outside an MSN Direct coverage area, or if you were temporarily in an area where reception was poor. You can instruct the MSN Direct service to resend the configuration message. To do so, go to www.msndirect.com and click the link to resend the configuration message. My Suunto n6HR has not received any new information in a day or more. What should I do? The MSN Direct coverage area includes most major metropolitan areas throughout North America. If your Suunto n6HR is inside any of these coverage areas, it should automatically receive new broadcast information (news stories, current temperatures). If your Suunto n6HR is outside a coverage area, it does not receive any new broadcast information until you return to the coverage area. For more information about coverage areas, go to the MSN Direct Website at www.msndirect.com and click Help. If you leave your home coverage area and travel to another MSN Direct coverage area, your Suunto n6HR will not receive personal information (personal messages, calendar appointments) unless you go to the MSN Direct Website at www.msndirect.com and set up a travel schedule. Sometimes the topography (hills, valleys), building structures, or nearby electronics can interfere with the broadcast signal that your Suunto n6HR uses to receive information.
