RECEIVING THE TIME
When your Suunto n3i receives a broadcast signal, it should automatically receive the
correct time from an atomic clock. This happens even if you have not yet activated
the MSN Direct service. As long as your Suunto n3i is receiving a signal, you do not
need to set the time. The time is accurate to a few thousands of a second and
automatically adjusts for daylight savings time and leap years. In addition, your
Suunto n3i automatically changes to different time zones as you travel from place to
place.
Note:
When you turn on your Suunto n3i, it may take a few minutes to receive the
time from an atomic clock.
If you are in an area where your Suunto n3i cannot receive a signal, you can set the
time manually. You can also change the time display from a 12-hour clock to a 24-
hour clock, and you can override the automatic time zone setting. For details, see
Chapter 6. Settings
