under 30 minutes per week, use 4.  
30-60 minutes per week, use 5.  
1-3 hours per week, use 6.  
en  
over 3 hours per week, use 7.  
Endurance or professional  
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.  
NOTE: If you train without your Suunto heart rate monitor, ACT CLASS may decrease,  
even though you have trained at the described level. We therefore recommend you train  
with your Suunto heart rate monitor to ensure it understands and guides you correctly.  
Your Suunto heart rate monitor increases or decreases your activity class according to  
your training history. In both cases, you are asked to confirm the change before the  
setting is modified.

3.2.2 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.

4 USING TRAINING MODE  
en  
The TRAINING mode handles measurement of all your training activity.  
NOTE: Even though both Suunto t3d and the transmitter belt are water-resistant, the  
radio signal does not carry in water, which makes the communication between Suunto t3d  
and the transmitter belt impossible.  
4.1 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 doctors 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.  
4.2 Starting a training session  
When you enter TRAINING mode, your Suunto heart rate monitor automatically searches  
for signals from a transmitter belt. Once found, your heart rate is displayed on the  
screen.  
Recording a training session  
To start recording your training session:  
1. Start your training session by pressing [Start Stop].  
2. While the timer is running, you can record/store laps by pressing [Lap +].  
3. Stop the timer by pressing [Start Stop].  
4. To reset the timer and clear the session, keep [Lap +] pressed.  
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.

and Training Effect (total load of a workout). In zone training, you try to keep your heart  
rate at a certain level throughout the whole workout. With Training Effect you just need  
to reach the desired target once during training.

Training Effect Result  
5.0  
Description  
Over-reaching Extremely high effect on aerobic performance if  
adequate recovery allowed; should not be done  
often  
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 needed in balanced training.  
TIP: Training Effect is an advanced feature and can help you in many ways. More details  
about TE can be found in the Suunto Training Guide, available for download at  
suunto.com/training.  
The TE level is shown as a view in TRAINING mode. This view also shows you how much  
time is left (at your current training intensity) to reach the next TE level. This counter  
timer is updated in real-time as your intensity changes.  
You can just follow the TE level, or set a specific target level before you start your training  
session.  
To train with a TE target level  
1. Press [View Back] in TRAINING mode until you see the TE view.  
2. Adjust the target level by keeping [Light -] pressed while in TE view.  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
23  
The countdown timer to the right of the TE target value indicates how much time  
remains for you to reach the target at your current heart rate (training intensity).  
NOTE: You can change the main view of TRAINING mode to show the current (achieved)  
Training Effect by keeping [View Back] pressed. Repeat to switch back to the heart rate view.  
To set the Training Effect target:  
1. Switch to the Training Effect view in TRAINING mode.  
2. Keep [Light -] pressed to increase the TE value to your target.  
3. Start the log recorder.  
NOTE: You cannot lock the buttons while in the Training Effect view. Switch to another  
view to lock them (then switch views again as desired).

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!  
4.6.2 Heart rate zones  
Training with heart rate monitors is traditionally based on heart rate zones. The intensity  
of your training is determined by the time you spend in each of three zones.  
Heart rate zones are defined as percentages of your maximum heart rate. Zone training  
is an established training method, so there are pre-set defaults as follows:  
Zone 1 (60-70%): fitness zone; improves basic fitness and is good for weight  
control.  
Zone 2 (70-80%): aerobic zone; improves aerobic fitness and is good for  
endurance training.  
Zone 3 (80-90%): threshold zone; improves aerobic and anaerobic capacity and  
is good for improving peak performance.  
If you are following a personal training program that uses zone training, enter the values  
defined by the program.

NOTE: The zone defaults follow the guidelines of the American College of Sports Medicine  
for exercise prescription.  
en  
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.

27  
 
TIP: If your heart rate varies significantly during training, for example, when running  
in hilly terrain, following your real-time average heart rate is better guidance than following  
zone limits.  
4.7 Using intervals and warm-up  
Your Suunto heart rate monitor supports interval training, training with alternating  
periods of high exertion and recovery. Use INT1, INT2 to define different interval durations.  
You can also define a warm-up period for yourself. This can be used with or without  
intervals turned on.  
When you use the intervals and warm-up, the log recorder view option in TRAINING  
mode becomes a countdown timer. Use this view to follow how much time is remaining  
for your current interval. Once you have started the training session, the countdown  
timer resets itself as each interval passes.  
When you are training with intervals, INT1, INT2 or WARM is shown before the countdown  
time to tell you which interval you are on. The lap indicator on the screen tell you how  
many intervals in total you have done, for example, int1 (lap1), int2 (lap2), int1 (lap3),  
int2 (lap4) and so on.

5 USING SPEED AND DISTANCE MODE  
The SPEED AND DISTANCE mode becomes available after you have paired a speed and  
distance POD with your Suunto heart rate monitor.  
5.1 Pairing a POD  
To use SPEED AND DISTANCE mode, you first need to pair your Suunto heart rate monitor  
with a Suunto POD.  
To pair a POD:  
1. In TRAINING mode, enter the menu (SET) and scroll with [Lap +] until you reach  
PAIR A POD.  
2. Press [Mode] to get to the first setting and select the POD type using [Lap +] and  
[Light -].  
3. Press [Mode] to activate pairing.  
4. Turn on the POD while message TURN ON is displayed.  
Use the same procedure to pair you heart rate transmitter belt.

TIP: If you have paired a Cadence POD, you can switch between speed and cadence as  
the main view in SPEED AND DISTANCE mode by keeping [View Back]pressed.  
en  
5.2 Autolap and speed limits  
With the autolap feature, 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.  
NOTE: When using the autolap feature, it is very important to calibrate your speed and  
distance POD accurately.  
Setting

5.3 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. Pair and activate your POD.  
2. Start the log recorder.  
3. Go a known distance.  
4. Stop the log recorder.  
5. Go to the CALIBRATE menu.  
6. Select POD type and replace the measured distance with the actual (known)  
distance.

33  
   
TIP: The GPS POD is listed in the CALIBRATE menu, but the calibration has no effect on  
the GPS POD. Use this calibration setting if you have, for example, two Bike PODs for different  
bikes. You can pair one of them as GPS POD and use the calibration in the same way as you  
normally would with a Bike POD.
