Chapter 4 Altimeter Mode - Suunto ADVIZOR Mode D'emploi

Note: The dual time function is completely independent and does not effect the alarms or the memory functions. These are
dependent on the current local time.

CHAPTER 4 ALTIMETER MODE

The Suunto Wristop Computer Altimeter function provides the user with:
• an adjustable unit of measure either meter or feet: meter ranging from -500 to 9,000; ft ranging -1,600 to 29,500;
• a resolution of 5m or 10ft;
• a display update on the rate of vertical movement in intervals of one second for 3 minutes, then every 10 seconds or
less;
• a difference measurement function allowing zeroing of the altimeter for following vertical progress between stages;
• an automatic 24-hour memory in one hour intervals showing altitude and vertical ascent/descent rate; and
• A logbook of recordings storing total vertical ascent/descent, average vertical ascent/descent rate, number of runs
(e.g. skied), duration of log, as well as minimum, maximum and average heart rate during log, and time spent in, above
and below target heart rate zone.
To view and use the Altimeter function:
Check the Mode Indicator arrow. If the mode arrow is not on ALTI, PRESS the [Mode] button until the arrow is directly
below ALTI.
In the ALTIMETER mode (Fig. 21):
• Field 1 displays the vertical ascent or descent rate;
• Field 2 displays the current altitude in increments of 5 meters or 10 feet (depending on the unit of measure selected);
and
• Field 3 displays the current time or the current heart rate if the transmitter is worn.
• The Outer Circumference graphically displays the altitude in hundreds of meters or feet over a full thousand where
one complete circle is equivalent to 1000.
