When the arrow on the display close to heart rate or speed value is pointing up, you should increase the intensity or speed. When the arrow is pointing down, you should decrease the intensity or speed. When you have reached your target, 📋s shown.

NOTE: The guiding arrow during training is only visible in the displays showing speed or HR data.

NOTE: If you do not want to follow a training program, make sure to turn it off in the general settings and in Movescount.

TIP: If the training program is disabled, you can still receive guidance related to personally set heart rate or speed limits. Remember to turn the limits on in the device settings. You can adjust the limits in Movescount.

NOTE: Suunto Quest creates a daily target. If you plan several training sessions per day, their durations and intensities are combined into a daily target.

12.4 Making laps during training

You can set Suunto Quest to take autolaps when training. Autolaps are driven by distance. You can select different autolap distances for each POD and custom mode.

TIP: You can use three custom modes in Suunto Quest: running, walking, and cycling. In Movescount.com you can set your Suunto Quest to take autolaps

every 1 km (mile) for running, every 0.5 km (mile) for walking, and every 10 km (miles) for cycling.

You can also take manual laps during training. When training, tap on the display to take a lap.

You can adjust the tapping sensitivity in the general settings:

1. In the time mode, keep NEXT pressed to enter the settings.

2. Scroll to general settings with START STOP and confirm with NEXT.

3. Press NEXT to enter the tap sensitivity settings.

4. Press START STOP to adjust the tap sensitivity to the desired level – you can tap the display when scrolling through the levels to check the sensitivity level. When a tap is registered, tapped! message will be displayed.

5. Press NEXT to confirm the setting.

6. Keep NEXT pressed to exit the settings and return to the time mode.

13 PAIRING POD/HR BELT

Pair Suunto Quest with optional Suunto PODs (Suunto Foot POD Mini, GPS POD, or Bike POD) to receive additional speed and distance information during training. Suunto Quest is compatible with Suunto Dual Comfort Belt.

The HR belt and/or POD included in your Suunto Quest package are already paired. Pairing is required only if you want to use a new HR belt or a speed POD with the device.

You can pair up to three Suunto speed and distance PODs. If you pair more than three PODs, only the latest three will be paired.

To pair a POD or an HR belt:

1. In the time view, keep NEXT pressed to enter the settings.
2. Scroll up by pressing START STOP to reach the pairing options and press NEXT to enter the pairing menu.
3. Select POD or belt with START STOP and LIGHT LOCK. Confirm with NEXT.
4. Turn on your POD or HR belt (see the instructions below). See the POD manual for more information. Wait for the message paired.
5. If the pairing fails, press NEXT to return to the pairing setting.

Example: Pairing Suunto Dual Comfort Belt

1. Remove the HR belt battery.
2. Reset the HR belt by inserting the battery positive side down.
3. In your Suunto Quest, follow the steps 1-3 from the instructions above.
4. Re-insert the belt battery positive side up and close the belt cover. Wait for the message paired.
5. If the pairing fails, press NEXT to return to the pairing setting.

NOTE: When turn on POD or turn on belt text is shown on the display, Suunto Quest waits for the pairing signal from the HR belt or POD for 15 seconds, during which the corresponding HR belt or POD should be turned on.

13.1 Troubleshooting

If HR belt pairing fails, try the following:

1. Remove the battery from the belt.
2. Re-insert the battery upside down to reset the HR belt and remove the battery again.
3. Scroll to the device's pairing option.
4. Insert the battery in the HR belt the right side up.

13.2 Calibrating PODs

You can calibrate Suunto Foot POD Mini or Suunto Bike POD with Suunto Quest for accurate speed and distance measurement. Perform the calibration on an accurately measured distance, for instance, on a 400 m running track.

To calibrate Suunto Foot POD Mini with Suunto Quest:

1. Attach Suunto Foot POD Mini to your shoe. For more information, see Suunto Foot POD Mini Quick Guide.
2. Choose a custom mode to connect Suunto Quest with Suunto Foot POD Mini.
3. Start running at your usual pace. When you cross the starting line, press START STOP to start the recording.
4. Run a distance of 800–1000 m (about 0.500–0.700 miles) at your usual pace (for example two laps on a 400 m track).
5. Press START STOP when you reach the finish line.
6. Scroll with NEXT through summary views, until you reach the distance summary. Adjust the distance shown on the display to the actual distance you ran with START STOP and LIGHT LOCK. Confirm with NEXT.
7. Confirm the POD calibration by pressing START STOP. Your Foot POD Mini has now been calibrated. You can also calibrate your Suunto Bike POD in a similar way.
