2.4. HEART RATE MONITOR AND TRANSMITTER BELT
The heart rate monitor is the premier feature of the Suunto X6
. It provides the user
HR
with a versatile instrument for measuring and analyzing physical performance in
different conditions. When used in conjunction with the altimeter function, the heart
rate monitor allows the user to observe changes in heart rate during ascents and
descents and the impact of altitude on heart rate. The heart rates can be recorded in
X6
memory and transferred to a PC for analysis. The heart rate data is available in
HR
Hiking and Chrono modes.
2.4.1. Electromagnetic interference
Disturbances may occur near high voltage power lines, traffic lights, overhead lines
of electric railways, electric bus lines or trams, televisions, car motors, bike comput-
ers, some motor driven exercise equipment, cellular phones or when you walk through
electric security gates.
It is best to position the Wristop computer within 3 feet or 0,9 meters of the transmitter.
Ensure no other transmitters are within that range; signals from other transmitter(s)
can cause an incorrect readout.
Repeated kinetic shock to the X6
may cause an incorrect heart rate readout and
HR
should be avoided.
2.4.2. Warnings
Persons who have a pacemaker, defibrillator, or other implanted electronic device
use the heart rate monitor at their own risk. Before starting the initial use of the heart
rate monitor, we recommend an exercise test under a doctor's supervision. This will
ensure the safety and reliability of the pacemaker and heart rate monitor when being
used simultaneously.
