4. SUUNTO TRAINING MANAGER WITH SUUNTO MONITOR
SUUNTO TRAINING MANAGER
Suunto Training Manager enables you to analyze data in detail. Real-time heart monitoring
can be recorded with Suunto Monitor, which is included in the Suunto Training Manager soft-
ware. From the beat-to-beat heart rate interval data, Suunto Training Manager calculates dif-
ferent physiological measures of your body. These parameters include Training Effect,
EPOC (training load), oxygen consumption (VO2), energy consumption, ventilation, respira-
tory rate and, naturally, heart rate.
For more information on these parameters and their use in training, please visit
www.suunto.com/training.
SUUNTO MONITOR
Suunto Monitor displays and records the heart rate data from your Suunto ANT transmitter
belt in real time. The Suunto PC POD receives HR data from up to three belts within a 10 m/
33 ft range. The data can then be analyzed in more detail with Suunto Training Manager.
How to start using Suunto Monitor:
1. Start Suunto Training Manager.
2. Choose your personal profile.
3. Start Suunto Monitor from the Actions menu of Suunto Training Manager.
4. Put on your heart rate belt and plug in the Suunto PC POD.
5. The belt ID number appears in the Belts window. Mark the check box next to the belt num-
ber. Select your user name from the drop-down list, which appears in the new window.
You can also choose to insert your maximum heart rate.
6. When needed, start recording your heart rate by pressing the Record button. You also can
follow your heart rate in real time without recording.

Heart rate transmission signals DO NOT go through:
• water
• obstacles
• the human body
Therefore, Suunto PC POD is not suitable for water-based activities. The signal can also be
disrupted if the monitored athlete is facing away from the Suunto PC POD or if another ath-
lete or an obstacle is blocking the signal between the HR belt and the Suunto PC POD.
For information on alternative HR recording products, such as Suunto t3, t4, and t6 wristop
computers, please contact your local Suunto representative.
5. SUUNTO TRAINING MANAGER LITE
The Suunto Training Manager Lite software allows you to wirelessly download data recorded
with your Suunto t3 or Suunto t4. Training Manager Lite is your personal training logbook. It
stores your workout data, displays it in graphical format, and creates reports of your training
history. Wireless downloading requires your Suunto t3 or Suunto t4 to be no more than 2 m/6
ft from the Suunto PC POD.
To connect to the PC, plug in the Suunto PC POD, start Training Manager Lite and long-
press the Back button of your Suunto t3 or Suunto t4 in the Time mode.
