Suunto Spartan Sport Wrist HR Baro
NOTE: Backlight brightness affects battery life. The brighter the backlight is, the quicker
the battery drains.
Standby backlight
When you are not actively using the watch by touching the screen or pressing buttons, the
watch goes into a standby mode after one minute. The display is on, but in some low-light
conditions, the screen might not be easily readable.
To improve readability in low-light conditions, you can use the standby backlight. This is a low-
brightness backlight that is on all the time.
You can toggle the standby backlight on or off from the settings under General » Backlight »
Standby.
Even though the standby backlight brightness is quite low, it decreases overall battery life
because it is on all the time.
3.6. Button and screen lock
While recording an exercise you can lock the buttons by keeping the lower right button
pressed. Once locked, you cannot perform any actions that requires button interaction (create
laps, pause/end exercise etc.) but it is possible to scroll the display views and you can turn on
the backlight with any button press if the backlight is in automatic mode.
To unlock everything, keep the lower right button pressed again.
When you are not recording an exercise, the screen locks and dims after one minute of
inactivity. To activate the screen, press any button.
The screen also goes to sleep (blank) after a period of inactivity. Any movement turns the
screen on again.
3.7. Bluetooth connectivity
Suunto Spartan Sport Wrist HR Baro uses Bluetooth technology to send and receive
information from your mobile device when you have paired your watch with the Suunto
Movescount 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.
The Bluetooth can also be completely turned off by activating airplane mode, see 3.2.
Airplane mode.
3.8. Chest heart rate sensor
Ⓡ
You can use a Bluetooth
Smart compatible heart rate sensor, such as the Suunto Smart
Sensor, with your Suunto Spartan Sport Wrist HR Baro to get accurate information about your
exercise intensity.
