Training, Heart rate limit settings | Suunto Stopwatch specs

3.3. Heart rate limit settings

In the Heart Rate Limit menu, you can set the heart rate limits on or off, define the upper and lower limits, and set the heart rate alarm on or off. You can set the heart rate limits to help you stay within a defined heart rate range, which you can set to match the goal of your training.

The heart rate limits are displayed with dots on the left outer rim of the display.

While training, your real-time heart rate is displayed in both the center of the screen and on the left outer rim. If the average heart rate shortcut is selected, your real-time average heart rate of the entire log at that point is displayed in the bottom row as either beats per minute or a percentage of your maximum heart rate. In the Settings menu, you can set alarms to notify you when you go above your set upper heart rate or below the set lower heart rate.

By checking your average heart rate you can adjust your training intensity to make sure the session is as effective as possible.

4.1. Connecting your Suunto t1 to the heart rate transmitter belt

Whenever you enter Training mode, your Suunto t1 automatically searches for signals from a heart rate belt. Once Suunto t1 has found the signals from your heart rate transmitter belt, your heart rate will be displayed in the center of the screen.
