Activity goals
You can adjust your daily goals for both steps and calories. While in the activity display, tap
and hold your finger on the screen or keep the middle button pressed to open the activity
goal settings.
When setting your steps goal, you define the total number of steps for the day.
The total calories you burn per day is based on two factors: your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR)
and your physical activity.
Your BMR is the amount of calories your body burns while at rest. These are the calories your
body needs to stay warm and perform basic function like blink your eyes or beat your heart.
This number is based on your personal profile, including factors such as age and gender.
When you set a calorie goal, you define how many calories you want to burn in addition to
your BMR. These are your so-called active calories. The ring around the activity display
advances according to how many active calories you burn during the day compared to your
goal.
3.2. Airplane mode
Activate airplane mode when needed to turn off wireless transmissions. You can activate or
deactivate airplane mode from the settings under Connectivity.
NOTE: To pair anything with your device, you need to first turn off airplane mode if you
have it on.
3.3. Altimeter
Suunto Spartan Sport uses GPS to measure altitude. Under optimal signal conditions,
eliminating potential errors typical in calculating GPS position, the GPS altitude reading should
give a pretty good indication of your elevation.
To get a more precise reading from GPS altitude, comparable to what you can get from
barometric altitude, you need additional sources of data like a gyroscope or Doppler radar to
adjust GPS altitude.
