4.1. MAKING THE MOST OF YOUR TRAINING

This section describes different possibilities and methods on how to use your Suunto t6 in training and thus how to make the most of your training.

Using heart rate and speed limits in training

Suunto t6 assists you in staying within the target HR or speed zones during your training. Whenever your heart rate or speed drops below or exceeds the set zone limits, Suunto t6 alerts you - making it easier to fully benefit from your training.

Suunto t6 alerts you whenever your heart rate or speed goes outside the preset zone using alarm signals:

• Low limit signal: - - - - - -

• High limit signal: -------------

The limit currently active and in use is identified by a number on the right hand side of the display:

Number for HR limits

Number for Speed limits

NOTE: HR limits and speed limits cannot be active at the same time. When one limit is activated, the other is switched off. Long pressing ENTER turns on the last active limit.
