NAVIGATION

USING ALTI & BARO MODE

How Alti & Baro works

To get correct readings with ALTI & BARO mode, it is important to understand how Suunto Ambit2 calculates altitude and sea level air pressure. Suunto Ambit2 constantly measures absolute air pressure. Based on this measurement and reference values, it calculates altitude or sea level air pressure.

CAUTION:

Keep the area around the sensor free of dirt and sand. Never insert any objects into the sensor openings.

Getting correct readings

If you are engaged in an outdoor activity that requires accurate sea level air pressure or altitude, you will first need to calibrate your Suunto Ambit2 by entering either your current altitude or the current sea level air pressure.

The altitude of your location can be found from most topographic maps or Google Earth. A sea level air pressure reference for your location can be found using the websites of national weather services.

If FusedAlti TM is activated, the altitude reading will be corrected automatically using FusedAlti together with altitude and sea level pressure calibration. For more information, see FusedAlti .

Absolute air pressure is measured constantly

Absolute air pressure and known altitude reference = Sea level air pressure

Absolute air pressure and known sea level air pressure = Altitude

Changes in local weather conditions will affect altitude readings. If local weather changes often, it is advisable to reset the current altitude reference value frequently, preferably before starting your journey when the reference values are available. As long as the local weather stays stable, you do not need to set reference values.

Getting incorrect readings

ALTIMETER profile + standing still + weather change

If your Altimeter profile is on for an extended period of time with the device in a fixed location while the local weather changes, the device will give incorrect altitude readings.

ALTIMETER profile + altitude moving + weather change

If your Altimeter profile is on and the weather changes frequently while you climb in altitude or go down in altitude, the device will give you incorrect readings.

BAROMETER profile + altitude moving

If the Barometer profile is on for an extended period of time as you climb in altitude or go down in altitude, the device assumes that you are standing still and interprets your changes in altitude as changes in sea level air pressure. It will therefore give you incorrect sea level air pressure readings.

Use example: Setting the altitude reference value

You’re on the second day of your two-day hike. You realize that you forgot to switch from the Barometer profile to the Altimeter profile when you started moving in the morning.You know that the current altitude readings given by your Suunto Ambit2 are wrong. So, you hike to the nearest location shown on your topographic map for which an altitude reference value is provided. You correct your Suunto Ambit2 altitude reference value accordingly and switch from Barometer to Altimeter profile. Your altitude readings are correct again.

Matching profile to activity

The Altimeter profile should be selected when your outdoor activity involves changes in altitude (e.g. hiking in hilly terrain).

The Barometer profile should be selected when your outdoor activity does not involve changes in altitude (e.g. soccer, sailing, canoeing).

To get correct readings, you need to match the profile to your activity. You can either let Suunto Ambit2 decide a suitable profile for the activity, or choose a profile yourself.

NOTE:

You can define the profile as part of the sport mode settings in Movescount, or in your Suunto Ambit2 .

Setting profiles

To set the Alti & Baro profile:

Keep Next pressed to enter the options menu.
Scroll to Alti-baro with Light Lock and enter with Next .
Press Next to select Profile .

setting reference values Ambit2

TIP:

You can access the Reference setting by keeping View pressed when in Alti & baro mode.

You can also set your altitude during your exercise, see Setting altitude during exercise .

Using Altimeter profile

The Altimeter profile calculates altitude based on reference values. The reference value can either be sea level air pressure value or altitude reference value. When the Altimeter profile is activated, the altimeter icon is shown on the display. For information on setting the profile, see Setting profiles .

When the Altimeter profile is activated, you can access the following views:

top row: your current altitude
middle row: altitude information on a 12-hour timeline in graph form
bottom row: toggle between time and temperature with View

alti mode

NOTE:

If you are wearing your Suunto Ambit2 on your wrist, you will need to take it off in order to get an accurate temperature reading because your body temperature will affect the initial reading.

Using Barometer profile

The Barometer profile shows the current sea level air pressure. This is based on the reference values added in the settings and the constantly measured absolute air pressure. For information on setting the reference values, see Setting reference values .

Changes in the sea level air pressure are presented graphically in the middle row of the display.

When the Barometer profile is activated, the barometer icon is shown on the display. For information on setting the Alti & Baro profile, see Setting profiles .

When the Barometer profile is activated, Suunto Ambit2 shows you the following barometric information:

top row: the current sea level air pressure
middle row: a graph displaying sea level pressure data from the past 26 hours (15 min. recording interval)
bottom row: toggle between temperature, time and altitude reference value with View

baro mode

Altitude reference is the latest altitude used in Alti & Baro mode. It can be:

the altitude you have set as altitude reference in the Barometer profile, or
the latest altitude logged in the Automatic profile before changing to the Barometer profile.

NOTE:

If you are wearing your Suunto Ambit2 on your wrist, you will need to take it off in order to get an accurate temperature reading because your body temperature will affect the initial reading.

Using Automatic profile

The Automatic profile switches between the Altimeter and Barometer profiles according to your movements. When the Automatic profile is active, the device will automatically switch between interpreting changes in air pressure as changes in altitude or changes in weather.

automatic

It is not possible to measure weather and altitude changes at the same time, as both cause a change in the surrounding air pressure. Suunto Ambit2 senses vertical movement and switches to measuring altitude, when needed. When altitude is shown, it is updated with a maximum delay of 10 seconds.

If you are at a constant altitude (less than 5 meters of vertical movement within 12 minutes), Suunto Ambit2 interprets all pressure changes as weather changes. The measurement interval is 10 seconds. The altitude reading remains steady and if the weather changes, you will see changes in the sea level air pressure reading.

If you are moving in altitude (more than 5 meters of vertical movement within 3 minutes), Suunto Ambit2 interprets all pressure changes as movements in altitude.

Depending on which profile is active, you can access the Altimeter or Barometer profile views with View .

NOTE:

When you are using the Automatic profile, barometer or altimeter icons are not shown on the display.

FusedAlti

FusedAlti TM provides an altitude reading that is a combination of GPS and barometric altitude. It minimizes the effect of temporary and offset errors in the final altitude reading.

NOTE:

By default, altitude is measured with FusedAlti during exercises that use GPS and during navigation. When GPS is switched off, altitude is measured with the barometric sensor.

If you do not want to use FusedAlti in altitude measurement, you can disable it in the options menu.

To disable FusedAlti:

Keep Next pressed to access the options menu.
Scroll to Alti-baro with Light Lock and enter with Next .
Scroll to FusedAlti with Start Stop and select with Next .
Set FusedAlti Off with Start Stop or Light Lock and accept with Next .

enabling FusedAlti

When the device is in time mode, you can search a new reference for barometric altitude with FusedAlti. This activates the GPS for a maximum of 15 minutes.

To search a new reference for barometric altitude with FusedAlti:

Keep Next pressed to enter the options menu.
Scroll to Alti-baro with Light Lock and enter with Next .
Scroll to Reference with Light Lock and enter with Next .
Scroll to FusedAlti with Start Stop and select with Next . GPS is switched on and the device starts calculating altitude based on FusedAlti.

new reference FusedAlti Ambit2

NOTE:

In good conditions it takes 4 – 12 minutes for the FusedAlti to activate. During that time, Suunto Ambit2 shows barometric altitude and ~ is shown with the altitude reading to indicate that the altitude may not be correct.

Weather indicators

In addition to the barometer graph (see Using Barometer profile ), Suunto Ambit2 has two weather indicators: weather trend and storm alarm.

The weather trend indicator is displayed as a view in Time mode, providing you a quick way to check weather changes.

weather trend Ambit2

The weather trend indicator is comprised of two lines forming an arrow. Each line represents a 3-hour period. A change in barometric pressure greater than 2 hPa / 0.59 inHg over three hours triggers a change the direction of the arrow. For example:

	pressure dropping heavily over the last six hours
	pressure was steady, but rising heavily over the last three hours
	pressure was rising heavily, but dropping heavily over the last three hours

Storm alarm

A significant drop in barometric pressure typically means a storm is coming and you should take cover. When the storm alarm is active, Suunto Ambit2 sounds an alarm and flashes a storm symbol when the pressure drops 4 hPa / 0.12 inHg or more during a 3-hour period.

NOTE:

The storm alarm does not work if you have altimeter profile activated. See Setting profiles .

To activate Storm alarm :

Keep Next pressed to enter the options menu.
Scroll to Alti-baro with Light Lock and enter with Next .
Press Next to select Storm alarm .
Set the storm alarm On or Off with with Start Stop or Light Lock and accept with Next .

activating storm alarm

When a storm alarm occurs, pressing any button ends the alarm. If no button is pressed, the alarm repeats once after five minutes. The storm symbol remains on the display until the weather conditions stabilize (pressure drop slows down).

A special lap (called 'storm alarm') is generated when a storm alarm occurs while recording an exercise.

TIP:

You can also activate or deactivate the storm alarm through the options menu in a sport mode.

USING 3D COMPASS

Setting declination value

To ensure correct compass readings, set an accurate declination value.

Paper maps point to true north. Compasses, however, point to magnetic north – a region above the Earth where the Earth’s magnetic fields pull. Because magnetic North and true North are not at the same location, you must set the declination on your compass. The angle in between magnetic and true north is your declination.

The declination value appears on most maps. The location of magnetic north changes yearly, so the most accurate and up-to-date declination value can be obtained from the internet (for example www.magnetic-declination.com ).

Orienteering maps, however, are drawn in relation to magnetic north. This means that when you are using orienteering maps you need to turn the declination correction off by setting the declination value to 0 degrees.

To set the declination value:

Keep Next pressed to enter the options menu.
Press Next to enter general .
Scroll to Compass using Light Lock and select with Next .

FUSEDSPEED

FusedSpeed

FusedSpeed TM is a unique combination of GPS and wrist acceleration sensor readings for measuring your running speed more accurately. GPS signal is adaptively filtered based on wrist acceleration, giving more accurate readings at steady running speeds and a quicker response to changes in speed.

FusedSpeed TM will benefit you the most when you need highly reactive speed readings during training, for example, when running on uneven terrain or during interval training. If you temporarily lose GPS signal, for example, because buildings block the signal, Suunto Ambit2 is able to continue showing accurate speed readings with the help of the GPS calibrated accelerometer.

NOTE:

FusedSpeed TM is meant for running and other similar type of activities.

TIP:

To get the most accurate readings with FusedSpeed TM , only glance shortly at the watch when needed. Holding the watch in front of you without moving it reduces the accuracy.

FusedSpeed TM is activated automatically with the following sport modes:

running
trail running
treadmill
orienteering
track and field
floor ball
football (soccer)

Using Foot POD

When using a foot POD, the POD is auto calibrated by GPS at short intervals during exercise. However, the foot POD always remains the source of speed and distance when it is paired and active for the given sport mode.

Foot POD auto calibration is on by default. It can be turned off in the sport mode options menu under Activate , if the Foot POD is paired and is used for the selected sport mode.

NOTE:

Foot POD refers to both Suunto Foot POD Mini and any other ANT+ foot POD.

For more accurate speed and distance measurements, you can manually calibrate the foot POD. Perform the calibration on an accurately measured distance, for instance, on a 400 meter running track.

To calibrate foot POD with Suunto Ambit2 :

Attach foot POD to your shoe. For more information, see user guide for the foot POD you are using.
Choose a sport mode (for example Running ) in the start menu.
Start running at your usual pace. When you cross the starting line, press Start Stop to start the recording.
Run a distance of 800–1000 meters (about 0.500–0.700 miles) at your usual pace (for example two laps on a 400 meter track).
Press Start Stop when you reach the finish line to pause the recording.
Press Back Lap to stop recording. After stopping the exercise, save the log by pressing Start Stop . If you do not want to save the log, press Light Lock . 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 .

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Water resistance

Suunto Ambit2 is water resistant to 100 meters/330 feet/10 bars. The meter value relates to an actual diving depth and is tested in the water pressure used in the course of the Suunto water resistance test. This means you can use the watch for swimming and snorkeling, but it should not be used for any form of diving.

NOTE:

Water resistance is not equivalent to functional operating depth. The water resistance marking refers to static air/water tightness withstanding shower, bathing, swimming, poolside diving and snorkeling.

To maintain water resistance, it is recommended to:

never use the device for other than intended use.
contact an authorized Suunto service, distributor or retailer for any repairs.
keep the device clean from dirt and sand.
never attempt to open the case yourself.
avoid subjecting the device to rapid air and water temperature changes.
always clean your device with fresh water if subjected to salt water.
never knock or drop the device.

Charging the battery

The duration on a single charge depends on how Suunto Ambit2 is used and in what conditions. Low temperatures, for example, reduce the duration of a single charge. In general, the capacity of rechargeable batteries decreases over time.

NOTE:

In case of abnormal capacity decrease due to defective battery, Suunto warranty covers the battery replacement for 1 year or for at maximum 300 charging times, whichever comes first.

The battery icon indicates the charge level of the battery. When the battery charge level is less than 10 %, the battery icon blinks for 30 seconds. When the battery charge level is less than 2 %, the battery icon blinks continuously.

charge level indicator Ambit2

Charge the battery by attaching it to your computer with the supplied USB cable, or charge with a USB-compatible wall charger. It takes approximately 2-3 hours to fully charge an empty battery.

TIP:

Go to Movescount to change the GPS fix interval of your sport modes to save battery life. For more information, see GPS accuracy and power saving .
