Pairing POD/heart rate belt
Pair your Suunto Ambit2 R with an optional Suunto heart rate belt or Foot POD to receive additional speed, distance, and cadence information during exercise. Other ANT+ heart rate belts or foot PODs can also be used. Visit www.thisisant.com/directory for a list of compatible ANT+ products.
The heart rate belt and/or POD included in your Suunto Ambit2 R package are already paired. Pairing is required only if you want to use a new heart rate belt or a POD with the watch.
To pair a POD/heart rate belt:
- Activate the POD/heart rate belt:
- Heart rate belt: moisten the contact areas and put on the belt.
- Foot POD: shake briefly or strike shoe (with POD) on the ground.
- Keep Next pressed to enter the options menu.
- Scroll to Pair with Light Lock and enter with Next.
- Scroll the accessory options with Start Stop and Light Lock.
- Press Next to select a POD or heart rate belt and start pairing.
- Hold your Suunto Ambit2 R close to the POD/belt (<30 cm) and wait for the watch to notify that the POD/belt has been paired.
If the pairing fails, press Start Stop to retry, or Light Lock to return to the pairing setting.
TIP:
You can also activate the heart rate belt by moistening and pressing both electrode contact areas.
Troubleshooting: Heart rate belt pairing fails
If the heart rate belt pairing fails, try the following:
- Check that the strap is connected to the module.
- Check that you are wearing the heart rate belt correctly (see Putting on heart rate belt).
- Check that the electrode contact areas of the heart rate belt are moist.
