1 INTRODUCTION Thank you for choosing Suunto t6d as your training companion. Suunto t6d is a high-precision heart rate monitor designed to make your training as beneficial as possible. Suunto t6d gives you extremely accurate feedback on your fitness level. Before you start regular training with Suunto t6d, you should first learn the values of EPOC [...]

2 GETTING STARTED 2.1 Basic settings Press any button to activate your Suunto t6d. You will be prompted to set your PERSONAL settings: your physical characteristics and activity class. The device suggests a default fitness METS level, but if you know your real fitness METS, you should use that value. NOTE: The maximum performance capacity measured [...]

NOTE: All the PERSONAL settings can be fine tuned later. 2.2 Setting activity class The activity class ( ACT CLASS ) is a rating of your current activity level. Use the following classifications to help you determine your activity class. Activity class 1 If you do not participate regularly in recreational sports or heavy physical activity, use 1. A[...]

● 1-3 hours, use 6. ● over 3 hours, use 7. Activity classes 7.5 - 10 If you train on a regular basis or participate in competitive sports, and your weekly exercise is: ● 5-7 hours, use 7.5. ● 7-9 hours, use 8. ● 9-11 hours, use 8.5. ● 11-13 hours, use 9. ● 13-15 hours, use 9.5. ● over 15 hours, use 10. 8[...]

TIP: If you record altitude information during your training, you will be able to analyze the effect of altitude changes to your heart rate with the Suunto Training Manager software. NOTE: Recording R-R (heart rat[...]

5 USING TRAINING MODE In TRAINING mode you can measure all your training activity. NOTE: Even though both Suunto t6d and the transmitter belt are water-resistant, the radio signal does not carry in water, which makes the communication between Suunto t6d and the transmitter belt impossible. 5.1 Putting on your transmitter belt Put on the belt as ill[...]

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 ad[...]

Countdown timer Countdown timer functions as a start timer. It measures remaining time and upon reaching zero, it alerts you when the countdown has reached zero and automatically starts the timer/log. Use the countdown timer for example to exclude the warm-up session from the training log. NOTE: The maximum countdown time is 59 mins 59 seconds. Des[...]

5.3 Using Training Effect Training Effect (TE) is a unique feature of Suunto t6d that measures the real effect of a workout on your physical fitness. With Training Effect, you can be sure that your workouts have the intended result. There is a significant difference between heart rate zone (temporary training intensity) and Training Effect (total l[...]

Description Result Training Effect Extremely high effect on aerobic performance if adequate recovery allowed; should not be done often. Over-reaching 5.0 NOTE: It is important to note that the numerical TE values do not mean that a workout with a lower numerical value is somehow worse or less significant than a workout with a high value. Both are n[...]

Heart beat analysis technology producing Training Effect is provided and supported by Firstbeat Technologies Ltd. 5.4 Using EPOC EPOC (Excess Post-exercise Oxygen Consumption) indicates the amount of extra oxygen that your body needs to recover after exercise. Your body consumes more oxygen after exercise than during rest. The higher the EPOC, the [...]

training session itself starts when you start the log recorder and ends when you stop it. Using log recorder By default, the log recorder ( CHRONO ) is displayed on the top row of the DISPLAY 1 . You can personalize the TRAINING mode displays in the DISPLAYS settings. To use the log recorder: 1. In TRAINING mode, start the log recorder with [Start [...]

● Switch between the two TRAINING displays to view various data about your exercise. ● Set HR limits on or off by keeping [View Back] pressed in TRAINING mode. 5.7 After training 5.7.1 Viewing logbook While the log recorder is running, your Suunto t6d collects various data about the session, such as EPOC and calories burned. This data is saved [...]

6 USING PODS You can use various Peripheral Observation Devices (PODs) with your Suunto t6d. These include Foot POD, Bike POD, Cadence POD, GPS POD and generic Speed POD (see Section 6.1 Pairing a POD ). After you have paired a POD with the device, Suunto t6d gives you additional information during your training. 6.1 Pairing a POD To view speed and[...]

6.2 Using autolap With AUTOLAP , you can define laps in distance instead of time (interval training). When autolap is turned on (and your speed and distance POD is activated), your Suunto heart rate monitor shows total distance, average lap speed, and lap time for each lap. Description Value Setting Autolap feature: on or off on / off autolap Lap d[...]

6.3 Using distance intervals You can set distance intervals for interval training after you have paired your Suunto t6d with a speed and distance POD. When you start the stopwatch, your Suunto t6d alerts and records lap times and other data after every completed interval. To set the distance intervals: 1. In the settings menu, enter SPD/DST . 2. Sc[...]

6.6 Calibrating your POD A Suunto POD that measures speed and distances needs to be calibrated to give you accurate readings. The calibration procedure differs for each POD type, and you will need to read the POD user guide to get detailed instructions. A simple way to get a quick calibration is to run or cycle a known distance using the POD. 1. Pa[...]

7 TROUBLESHOOTING Suunto t6d uses coded transmission to prevent reading disturbances. However, exercising near overhead power lines or powerful magnetic / 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. [...]

The same procedure can be used if you experience problems with Suunto POD signal reception. 46[...]
