However, even with the best accuracy, GPS altitude should not be considered an absolute
position. It is an estimation of your real elevation, and the accuracy of this estimation is heavily
dependent on the surrounding conditions.
3.4. Autopause
Autopause pauses the recording of your exercise when your speed is less than 2 km/h (1.2
mph). When your speed increases to more than 3 km/h (1.9 mph), the recording continues
automatically.
You can turn autopause
on/o for each sport mode in Suunto app. You can also turn on or o
autopause from the sport mode settings in the watch before you start your exercise
recording.
If autopause is on during a recording, a pop-up
notifies you when the recording is paused
automatically.
Press the middle button to see and switch between the current distance, HR, time, battery
level.
You can let the recording resume automatically when you start moving again, or manually
resume from the pop-up screen by pressing the upper right button.
3.5. Backlight
The backlight has two modes: automatic and toggle. In automatic mode, the backlight comes
on with any button press. In toggle mode, you turn the backlight on by keeping the upper left
button pressed. The backlight stays on until you keep the upper left button pressed again.
By default, the backlight is in automatic mode. You can change the backlight mode from the
settings under General » Backlight.
3.6. Bluetooth connectivity
Suunto 5 uses Bluetooth technology to send and receive information from your mobile device
when you have paired your watch with the Suunto app. Same technology is also used when
pairing PODs and sensors.
However, if you do not want your watch to be visible for Bluetooth scanners, you can activate
or deactivate the discovery setting from the settings under Connectivity » Discovery.
