If autopause is on during a recording, a pop-up notifies you when the recording is paused
automatically.
Tap the resume pop-up to check the current time and battery level.
You can let the recording resume automatically when you start moving again, or manually
resume from the pop-up screen by pressing the upper button.
3.4. Backlight
The backlight has two modes: automatic and toggle. In automatic mode, the backlight comes
on with any screen touch or button press.
In toggle mode, you turn the backlight on with a two-finger tap. The backlight stays on until
you tap with two fingers again.
By default, the backlight is in automatic mode. You can change the backlight mode as well as
the backlight brightness from the settings under General » Backlight.
NOTE: Backlight brightness affects battery life. The brighter the backlight is, the quicker
the battery drains.
Standby backlight
When you are not actively using the watch by touching the screen or pressing buttons, the
watch goes into a standby mode after one minute. The display is on, but in some low-light
conditions, the screen might not be easily readable.
To improve readability in low-light conditions, you can use the standby backlight. This is a low-
brightness backlight that is on all the time.
You can toggle the standby backlight on or off from the settings under General » Backlight »
Standby.
Even though the standby backlight brightness is quite low, it decreases overall battery life
because it is on all the time.
3.5. Battery power management
Your Suunto 9 has a battery power management system uses intelligent battery technology to
help ensure you watch does not run out of power when you need it most.
Before you start recording an exercise (see 3.28. Recording an exercise) you see an estimate
of how much battery life you have left in the current battery mode.
