SUUNTO FOOT POD - Manual (Page 3)

1. INTRODUCTION
Suunto Foot POD is an accessory for your Suunto t3, Suunto t4 or Suunto
t6 heart rate monitor. It is a light-weight, wireless speed and distance
sensor suitable for activities where footsteps are taken in an even stride,
such as running, jogging or walking.
It measures speed and distance by tracking and recreating the motion of the
foot in the air. Unlike conventional pedometers, it measures each stride
individually. Therefore, it displays the correct speed and distance information
even when you vary your stride length, for example, when running uphill or
downhill.
Unlike the GPS, the Suunto Foot POD functions both outdoors and indoors
because it measures the stride length with built-in acceleration sensors.
It is firmly attached to your shoe laces with an easy-to-use clip ensuring that it
does not become loose even when running in demanding conditions.
When paired with your Suunto t3, t4 or t6 heart rate monitor and properly
calibrated, Suunto Foot POD measures your distance and speed information
accurately and effortlessly.
NOTE: Suunto Foot POD does not get an accurate reading with activities
involving fast acceleration, turns, jumps, side steps and abrupt halts, for
example, racquet sports.
NOTE: The heart rate monitor functions related to the use of your Suunto Foot
POD are explained in the individual Suunto t3, t4 and t6 instruction manuals.

2. ATTACHING THE FOOT POD
Attach the Foot POD to the laces of your running shoes as follows:
1. Remove the POD from the clip.
2. Attach the clip by sliding it under the laces.
3. Tighten the laces.
4. Attach the POD to the clip. (To ensure accurate measurement, make sure the
device is not tilted to left or right and cannot move around.) .
To remove the Foot POD from your shoe, press down firmly on the front tips of
the clip one after the other to disengage the POD. Loosen the shoe laces and
remove the clip.
