- TIP: Wear the strap against your bare skin for best results.
- NOTE: Dry skin under the belt electrodes, a loose belt, and synthetic shirt materials can cause abnormally high heart rate readings. Moisten the belt electrodes well and tighten the belt to avoid heart rate peaks. If you are otherwise concerned about ...

- 3.10.5 Recording tracks
- 3.10.6 Making laps
- NOTE: The exercise summary always shows at least one lap, your exercise from start to finish. The laps you have made during the exercise are shown as additional laps.
- NOTE: If the GPS accuracy setting (see 3.23.3 GPS accuracy and power saving) of your sport mode is Good or lower, while navigating GPS accuracy switches to Best. Battery consumption is therefore higher.
- 3.10.9 Setting altitude during exercise
- 3.11 Find back
- 3.12 Firmware updates
- 3.13 FusedAlti
- NOTE: By default, altitude is measured with FusedAlti during exercises that use GPS and during navigation. When GPS is switched off, altitude is measured with the barometric sensor.
- NOTE: In good conditions it takes 4 – 12 minutes for FusedAlti to activate. During that time, Suunto Traverse shows barometric altitude and ~ is shown with the altitude reading to indicate that the altitude may not be correct.

- TIP: Connect to Movescount to get the latest firmware update for your Suunto Traverse.
- NOTE: The first time your Suunto Traverse is connected to Movescount all information (including the watch settings) is transferred from the watch to your Movescount account. The next time you connect your Suunto Traverse to your Movescount account, ch...
- TIP: With any move that is stored in Movescount, you can add pictures as well as create a Suunto Movie of the move using Suunto Movescount App.
- NOTE: You can change your Suunto Traverse general settings offline. Customizing sport modes and keeping time, date and GPS satellite data up to date require an internet connection over Wi-Fi or mobile network. Carrier data connection fees may apply.
- NOTE: Carrier data connection fees may apply when syncing between Suunto Movescount App and your Movescount account.

- 3.24 Notifications
- 3.25 HR sensors
- NOTE: You can also navigate when you are recording an exercise (see 3.10.7 Navigating during exercise).
- 3.26.1 Checking your location
- TIP: You can also check your location while you are recording an exercise by keeping [Next] pressed to access the options menu.
- TIP: You can create POIs in Movescount by selecting a location on a map or inserting the coordinates. POIs in your Suunto Traverse and in Movescount are always synchronized when you connect the watch to Movescount.
- You can quickly save your current location as a POI by long pressing the View button. This can be done from any mode.

- NOTE: The storm alarm does not work if you have altimeter profile activated. See 3.2.2 Matching profile to activity.
- TIP: You can also activate or deactivate the storm alarm through the options menu in a sport mode.
- TIP: Remember to register your Suunto Traverse at www.suunto.com/support to get personalized support.
- NOTE: Water resistance is not equivalent to functional operating depth. The water resistance marking refers to static air/ water tightness withstanding shower, bathing, swimming, poolside diving and snorkeling.
- 4.3 Charging the battery
- NOTE: In case of abnormal capacity decrease due to defective battery, Suunto warranty covers the battery replacement for one year or for at maximum 300 charging times, whichever comes first.
- TIP: Go to Movescount to change the GPS fix interval of your sport modes to save battery life. For more information, see

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.
It is not possible to measure weather and altitude changes at the same
time, as both cause a change in the surrounding air pressure. Suunto
Traverse senses vertical movement and switches to measuring altitude,
when needed. When altitude is shown, it is updated with a maximum
delay of 10 seconds.
If you are at a constant altitude (less than 5 meters of vertical
movement within 12 minutes), Suunto Traverse interprets all pressure
changes as weather changes. The measurement interval is10 seconds.
The altitude reading remains steady and if the weather changes, you
will see changes in the sea level air pressure reading.
