    3 FEATURES 3.1 Activity monitoring In addition to the recovery time shown in your exercise log, Suunto Ambit3 Peak monitors you overall activity, both exercise and daily activity. Activity monitoring gives you a complete picture of your activity, the calories you are burning, and your recovery time. Activity monitoring is available as a default display in TIME.

  • Page 16: Alti-Baro

    graph and lower row indicate average daily calorie consumption for the past seven days, not including today Recovery time: recovery time for the next 24 hours based on • recorded exercises and daily activity 3.2 Alti-Baro With ALTI-BARO you can view the current altitude or barometric pressure.
  • Page 17 CAUTION: Keep the area around the sensor free of dirt and sand. Never insert any objects into the sensor openings. If your outdoor activity requires accurate sea level air pressure or altitude, you need to calibrate your Suunto Ambit3 Peak by entering either your current altitude or the current sea level air pressure.
  • Page 18 Changes in local weather conditions will affect altitude readings. If local weather changes often, it is advisable to reset the current altitude reference value frequently, preferably before starting your journey when the reference values are available. As long as the local weather stays stable, you do not need to set reference values.

  • Page 20 The Barometer profile should be selected when your outdoor activity does not involve changes in altitude (e.g. soccer, sailing, canoeing). To get correct readings, you need to match the profile to your activity. You can either let Suunto Ambit3 Peak decide a suitable profile for the activity, or choose a profile yourself.

    10 seconds. The altitude reading remains steady and if the weather changes, you will see changes in the sea level air pressure reading. If you are moving in altitude (more than 5 meters of vertical movement within 3 minutes), Suunto Ambit3 Peak interprets all pressure changes as movements in altitude.
