1. INTRODUCTION
Suunto Bike POD is an accessory for your Suunto t3, Suunto t4 or Suunto
t6 wristop computer. It is a light-weight, wireless speed and distance sensor
that combines new speed and distance functions with the detailed heart
rate analysis and training benefits of your wristop computer, creating one of
the most advanced cycling-specific training tools available.
Suunto Bike POD measures your cycling speed and distance by calculating the
relation between the circumference of your bicycle wheel and the speed at
which it rotates. Measurement is effortless and, when properly calibrated, also
very accurate.
Suunto Bike POD adds new features to your Suunto t3, t4 or t6 wristop
computer. Once paired with the Bike POD, the wristop computer displays your
current speed, the distance from start and the lap distance. Furthermore, it
stores lap times automatically according to the distance set by the user; gives
alarms for too fast or too slow speed, and offers a distance-based interval
training function.
NOTE: The wristop-computer functions related to the use of your Suunto Bike
POD are explained in the individual Suunto t3, t4, and t6 instruction manuals.
You can download the latest version of the manuals at www.suunto.com/

2. BEFORE USE
2.1. PAIRING YOUR BIKE POD
Before you can use your Suunto Bike POD, you have to pair it with your Suunto
wristop computer. This process can be compared to the tuning of a radio. To be
able to listen to a specific radio station, you have to tune the radio to the correct
frequency. Similarly, to be able to use your Suunto wristop computer with a
specific Bike POD, you must pair them with each other. This is only necessary
when you use your Bike POD for the first time.
To pair your Bike POD with your Suunto wristop computer:
1. Remove the Bike POD battery.
2. Short-circuit the - and + metal plates in the battery compartment of the POD
by connecting them with a metal instrument, for example, by touching them
with a screwdriver, knife or a paperclip.
3. In your Suunto t3 or Suunto t4, go to Training mode settings and select
Pair a POD and then Bike.
In your Suunto t6, go to the Training menu and select Pair and then Bike
POD (if your device has a serial number 50500000 or higher) or Spd sens (if
your device has a serial number 50499999 or lower). The message ‘TURN ON
NEW DEVICE’ is displayed.
4. Insert the battery in the battery compartment and wait for acknowledgement.
5. Your Suunto t3 or t4 will display “Paired” or, if pairing failed, return to the
Pair a POD menu.
Your Suunto t6 will display either ‘”PAIRING COMPLETE” or, if pairing failed,
“NO DEVICES FOUND” within 30 seconds.
6. If pairing is successful, close the battery compartment cover. If pairing fails,
remove the battery and repeat steps 2–5. If pairing still fails, make sure that
there are no active ANT transmitters such HR belts nearby and repeat steps
2–5.
After successful pairing, you can view speed and distance-related information in
the Speed/Distance mode while on the move.
If you would like to use the Suunto t6 (serial number 50499999 or lower)
simultaneously with both the Bike POD and the Foot POD, Suunto offers a free
update to the device at your nearest Suunto Service Center, upon presenting
the Bike POD proof of purchase and after paying the postal costs for sending it
to the service center.
For information on Suunto Service Center locations visit www.suunto.com.
2.2. INSTALLING AND REPLACING THE BATTERY
1. Open the battery compartment cover with a coin.
2. If replacing the battery, remove the old battery.
3. Place the new battery into the battery compartment with the positive side
facing up and close the cover.
NOTE: Replace the battery with extreme care to ensure that your Bike POD
remains water-resistant. Check the condition of the seal on the battery cover
each time you change the battery and replace the battery cover if the seal is
damaged. Careless battery replacement may void the warranty.

NOTE: To reduce the risk of fire or burns, do not crush, puncture or dispose of
used batteries in fire or water. The POD uses one CR2032 battery. Only use this
kind of battery. Recycle or dispose of used batteries properly.
3. USING YOUR BIKE POD
There are two different Suunto Bike PODs available. The universal Suunto Bike
POD is ideal for all situations, and attaches easily to all kinds of bikes. The
Suunto Road Bike POD has a quick-release system and also fits on most kinds
of bikes, although it is especially valued as a road-cycling Bike POD.
3.1. ATTACHING THE UNIVERSAL SUUNTO BIKE POD
3.1.1. CONTENT OF THE UNIVERSAL SUUNTO BIKE POD PACKAGE
•BikePOD(1)
• Magnet (2)
• 2 wire ties (3)
• Holder for the wristop computer (4)
3.1.2. INSTALLING THE MAGNET BRACKET
Place the magnet bracket on a spoke on the right side of the wheel. The magnet
must be turned towards the Bike POD.
Note: If you are using a wheel with extra flat spokes, you need to cut the tabs on
the magnet bracket beforehand.
3.1.3. INSTALLING THE BIKE POD
1. Insert a wire tie into each slot designed for this purpose from the Bike POD
side. The head of the wire tie must go in its slot as far as possible.
2. Place the Bike POD on the right blade of the fork (the Bike POD must be
pointing forward); close the fixing collars without tightening them.
3. Adjust the position of the Bike POD so the center of the magnet is aligned
with one of the arrows on the Bike POD. The distance between the magnet
and the Bike POD must be less than 10 mm.
CR 2032

4. Tighten the wire ties and cut them flush.
5. Attach the holder for the wristop computer to the handle bar with the flat part
facing up. Place your Suunto wristop computer around it.
3.2. ATTACHING THE SUUNTO ROAD BIKE POD
3.2.1. CONTENT OF THE SUUNTO ROAD BIKE POD PACKAGE
• Road Bike POD consisting of a skewer (1), quick-release lever (2) and nut (3)
• Magnet (4)
• Holder for the wristop computer (5)
3.2.2. INSTALLING THE LOCKING LEVER/BIKE POD
1. Fit the quick-release lever to the hub, with the lever to the left (to the right
when using disc brakes). Close the lever, taking care to position it horizontally
towards the rear (+/– 45°).
2. Adjust the tension on the adjusting nut so that sufficient force is applied when
the locking lever is moved to the “CLOSE” position (consult your retailer).
3. When the locking lever can be moved to the “CLOSE” position too easily, the
wheel is not held in place with sufficient force. If this is the case, put the
locking lever in the “OPEN” position and tighten the adjusting nut to increase
the force.
4. Push the locking lever to the “CLOSE” position.
5. In all cases, make sure that the nut is sufficiently screwed on. The end of the
skewer should not be deeper than 2 mm (1/16 inch) inside the nut.
