2.1. SYNCHRONIZING THE COUNTDOWN TIMER
Suunto M3 allows you to synchronize the timer to the official countdown even after the countdown has started. This is very useful if you are distracted when the official 5 minute signal is given, causing a delay in starting the timer in Suunto M3. Once the timer is running, synchronizing is done as follows:
1.Wait and be prepared to the next official signal (such as the 4 or 1 minute signal).
2.At the signal, immediately press the DOWN button.
The timer jumps downward to the full minute and continues the countdown.
TIP: By default, pressing DOWN makes the timer jump downward to the nextfull minute (for example, from 03.50 to 03.00 and from 03.20 to 03.00). You can also set Suunto M3 to synchronize to the closest full minute (for
example, from 03:50 to 04:00). See section 6.2 for how to do this setting.
2.2. ADDING A SPLIT TIME MARK DURING THE RACE
You can store split times, for example, when you pass a mark during the race. The stored times can be viewed after the race with the Logbook.
1.While the race time is running, press ENTER and select Add mark to store a split time.
2.The new split time and the time elapsed from the previous split time are shown on the display briefly.
3.After the race, press ENTER and select Logbook to view the stored marks. NOTE: Up to 10 separate logs can be stored in the Suunto M3 memory. When the memory is full, a new log automatically replaces the oldest log in the memory.
