3. TIME CHANNEL
Your Suunto n3 comes with three channels—Time, Messages, and Calendar—that
are available for use even before you activate the MSN Direct service. The Time
channel is fully operational and ready to go. The Messages and Calendar channels
have limited capabilities until you activate and personalize MSN Direct. The
Messages channel is available for emergency and public service announcements,
and the Calendar channel includes a month view calendar. Once you activate MSN
Direct, you can receive messages from others, view personal appointments, and view
an events calendar for the things that interest you, such as sports schedules, financial
events, and local cultural events. You can also subscribe to a number of additional
channels, such as news, weather, stocks, and sports.
This guide provides instructions for using the Time channel. For instructions on using
the other channels—including Messages and Calendar—go to the MSN Direct Web
site at www.msndirect.com and click the Help link.
Note: Before you activate MSN Direct, you also see the Register channel on your
Suunto n3. This is a temporary channel that displays the information you need to
activate the service, including the MSN Direct Web site address and your Suunto n3
ID. The instrument ID is a number that uniquely identifies your Suunto n3 so that you
can receive personal messages and information. The Register channel disappears
when you activate MSN Direct.
3.1 RECEIVING THE TIME
When your Suunto n3 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 n3 is receiving a signal, you do not
need to set the time. The time is accurate to a few thousands of a second and
