3 FEATURES 3.1 Activity monitoring Suunto Traverse measures your daily steps and estimates calories burned during the day, based on your personal data. Daily step count is available as a default view in TIME. You can see the step number by pressing the [VIEW] button. The step count is measured by the accelerometer sensor, and the number of steps is updated every 60 seconds. Daily step count and calories burned are displayed as the first view of the Logbook.
For information on setting profiles, see 3.2.2 Matching profile to activity. 3.2.1 Getting correct readings Suunto Traverse constantly measures absolute air pressure using the built-in pressure sensor. Based on this measurement and reference values, it calculates altitude or sea level air pressure. CAUTION: Keep the area around the sensor free of dirt and sand. Never insert any objects into the sensor openings.
The altitude of your location can be found from most topographic maps or Google Earth. A sea level air pressure reference for your location can be found using the websites of national weather services. TIP: Absolute air pressure and known altitude reference = sea level air pressure. Absolute air pressure and known sea level air pressure = altitude.
Changes in local weather conditions will affect altitude readings. If local weather changes often, it is advisable to reset the current altitude reference value frequently, preferably before starting your journey when the reference values are available. As long as the local weather stays stable, you do not need to set reference values. To set the sea level pressure and altitude reference values: 1. Keep [Next] pressed to enter the options menu. 2. Scroll to ALTI-BARO with [Light] and enter with [Next]. 3.
TIP: You can access the Alti/Baro menu by pressing [Start] when in ALTI-BARO display. 3.2.2 Matching profile to activity By default, Suunto Traverse uses Automatic profile that switches between Alti and Baro automatically, based on movement. In the Automatic profile, the graph visible in Alti/BAro display will always represent altitude. You can either let Suunto Traverse decide a suitable profile for the activity, or choose yourself a profile that matches your activity.
The Barometer profile should be selected when your outdoor activity does not involve changes in altitude (e.g. soccer, sailing, canoeing). NOTE: You can define the profile as part of the sport mode settings in Movescount, or in your Suunto Traverse. To set the ALTI & BARO profile: 1. Keep [Next] pressed to enter the options menu. 2. Scroll to ALTI-BARO with [Light] and enter with [Next]. 3. Press [Next] to select Profile. 4.
to switch from the Barometer profile to the Altimeter profile when you started moving in the morning. You know that the current altitude readings given by your Suunto Traverse are wrong. So, you hike to the nearest location shown on your topographic map for which an altitude reference value is provided. You correct your Suunto Traverse altitude reference value accordingly and switch from Barometer to Altimeter profile. Your altitude readings are correct again.
views: • your current altitude, a graph displaying altitude changes over the past 12 hours (7 min. recording interval) • bottom row: change with [View] to show temperature, baro trend NOTE: If you are wearing your Suunto Traverse on your wrist, you will need to take it off in order to get an accurate temperature reading because your body temperature will affect the initial reading. 3.2.4 Using Barometer profile The Barometer profile shows the current sea level air pressure.
When the Barometer profile is activated, the barometer icon is shown on the display. When the Barometer profile is activated, Suunto Traverse shows you the following barometric information: • current pressure or a graph displaying sea level pressure changes over the past 26 hours (15 min.
NOTE: If you are wearing your Suunto Traverse on your wrist, you will need to take it off in order to get an accurate temperature reading because your body temperature will affect the initial reading. 3.2.5 Using Automatic profile The Automatic profile switches between the Altimeter and Barometer profiles according to your movements. When the Automatic profile is active, the device will automatically switch between interpreting changes in air pressure as changes in altitude or changes in weather.
If you are moving in altitude (more than 5 meters of vertical movement within 3 minutes), Suunto Traverse interprets all pressure changes as movements in altitude. In the Automatic Profile, Suunto Traverse will display following information: top row, name of currently active profile, Altitude, altitude graph. In addition, baro trend and temperature are accessible with the [View] button. 3.3 Autopause Autopause pauses the recording of your exercise when your speed is less than 2 km/h (1.2 mph).
