2.2. Software updates
Software updates add important improvements and new features to your watch. Suunto 9
Peak is updated automatically, if it is connected to Suunto app.
When an update is available and your watch is connected with Suunto app, the software
update will be downloaded to the watch automatically. The status of this download can be
viewed in Suunto app.
Once the software is downloaded to your watch, the watch will update itself during the night
as long as the battery level is at least 50% and no exercise is being recorded simultaneously.
If you want to install the update manually before it happens automatically during the night,
navigate to Settings > General and select Software update.
NOTE: When the update is complete, the release notes will be visible in Suunto app.
2.3. Suunto app
With the Suunto app, you can further enrich your Suunto 9 Peak experience. Pair your watch
with the mobile app to sync your activities, get mobile notifications, insights and more.
NOTE: You cannot pair anything if airplane mode is on. Turn o airplane mode before
pairing.
To pair your watch with Suunto app:
1. Ensure your watch Bluetooth is on. Under the settings menu, go to Connectivity »
Discovery and enable it if it is not already.
2. Download and install Suunto app on your compatible mobile device from the iTunes App
Store, Google Play in addition to several popular app stores in China.
3. Start Suunto app and turn on Bluetooth if it is not on already.
4. Tap the watch icon in the upper-left of the app screen and then tap “PAIR”to pair your
watch.
5. Verify the pairing by typing the code that is displayed on your watch in the app.
NOTE: Some features require an internet connection over Wi-Fi or mobile network.
Carrier data connection fees may apply.
2.4. Optical heart rate
Optical heart rate measurement from the wrist is an easy and convenient way to track your
heart rate. Best results for heart rate measurement may be aected by the following factors:
Suunto 9 Peak
8

•The watch must be worn directly against your skin. No clothing, however thin, can be
between the sensor and your skin
•The watch may need to be higher on your arm than where watches are normally worn.
The sensor reads blood flow through tissue. The more tissue it can read, the better.
•Arm movements and flexing muscles, such as gripping a tennis racket, can change the
accuracy of the sensor readings.
•When your heart rate is low, the sensor may not be able to provide stable readings. A
short warm up of a few minutes before you start the recording helps.
•Skin pigmentation and tattoos block light and prevent reliable readings from the optical
sensor.
•The optical sensor may not provide accurate heart rate readings for swimming activities.
•For higher accuracy and quicker responses to changes in your heart rate, we recommend
using a compatible chest heart rate sensor such as Suunto Smart Sensor.
WARNING: The optical heart rate feature may not be accurate for every user during
every activity. Optical heart rate may also be aected by an individual’s unique anatomy and
skin pigmentation. Your actual heart rate may be higher or lower than the optical sensor
reading.
WARNING: Only for recreational use; the optical heart rate feature is not for medical use.
WARNING: Always consult a doctor before beginning a training program. Overexertion
may cause serious injury.
WARNING: Allergic reaction or skin irritations may occur when products are in contact
with skin, even though our products comply with industry standards. In such event, stop use
immediately and consult a doctor.
2.5. Adjusting settings
You can adjust all watch settings directly in the watch.
To adjust a setting:
1. Swipe down until you see the settings icon and tap the icon.

2. Select a sport mode that uses GPS and then swipe up or press the lower button to open
the options. Alternatively, start your recording first, and then keep the middle button
pressed to open the sport mode options.
3. Scroll to Navigation and tap the setting or press the middle button.
4. Swipe up and down or press the upper and lower buttons to select a navigation option
and press the middle button.
5. Select the route or POI you want to navigate and press the middle button. Then press the
upper button to start navigating.
If you have not started the exercise recording yet, the last step takes you back to the sport
mode options. Scroll up to the start view and start your recording as normal.
While exercising, swipe right or press the middle button to scroll to the navigation display
where you will see the route or POI that you selected. For more information on the navigation
display, see 4.3.7.2. Navigating to a POI and 4.3.5. Routes.
While in this display you can swipe up or press the lower button to open your navigation
options. From the navigation options, you can, for example, select a dierent route or POI,
check your current location coordinates, as well as end navigation by selecting Breadcrumb.
