3. POSITIONING SUUNTO PC POD
To achieve the best readings from the HR belts, it is important to position the PC Pod cor-
rectly. Ideally, the PC Pod should point towards the area that is to be monitored.
4. OPERATION
Under normal circumstances, the receiver has a range of 10 meters/33 feet, but factors that
interfere with transmission from the HR belts - such as humidity and obstacles like training
equipment or walls - can affect the range.
As a 2.4 GHz signal does not go through water and there-
fore neither through the human body, the transmission from
the HR belt is hindered if the monitored athlete is facing
away from the Suunto PC Pod, so there may be disruptions
in the recording of the HR signal. For the same reason,
the Suunto PC Pod is not suitable for water-based activities.
In indoor sports the reception is more continuous than out-
side due to signals reflected from walls and ceiling.
For information on alternative HR recording products, such
as Suunto t6, please contact your local Suunto representa-
tive.
