NAVIGATION

Using GPS

Suunto Ambit2 S uses Global Positioning System (GPS) in determining your current position. GPS incorporates a set of satellites that orbit the Earth at an altitude of 20,000 km at the speed of 4 km/s.

The built-in GPS receiver in Suunto Ambit2 S is optimized for wrist use and receives data from a very wide angle.

Getting GPS signal

Suunto Ambit2 S activates GPS automatically when you select a sport mode with the GPS functionality, determine your location, or start navigating.

NOTE:

When you activate GPS for the first time, or have not used it for a long time, it might take longer than usual to get a GPS fix. Subsequent GPS starts will take less time.

TIP:

To minimize GPS initiation time, hold the watch steady with GPS facing up and make sure you are in an open area so that the watch has a clear view of the sky.

Troubleshooting: No GPS signal

For an optimal signal, point the GPS part of the watch upwards. The best signal can be received in an open area with a clear view of the sky.
The GPS receiver usually works well inside tents and other thin covers. However, objects, buildings, dense vegetation or cloudy weather can reduce the GPS signal reception quality.
GPS signal does not penetrate any solid constructions or water. Therefore do not try to activate GPS for example inside buildings, caves, or under water.

GPS grids and position formats

Grids are lines on a map that define the coordinate system used on the map.

Position format is the way the GPS receiver's position is displayed on the watch. All the formats relate to the same location, they only express it in a different way. You can change the position format in the watch settings under General / Format / Position format .

You can select the format from the following grids:

latitude/longitude is the most commonly used grid and has three different formats:
- WGS84 Hd.d°
- WGS84 Hd°m.m'
- WGS84 Hd°m's.s
UTM (Universal Transverse Mercator) gives a two-dimensional horizontal position presentation.
MGRS (Military Grid Reference System) is an extension of UTM and consists of a grid zone designator, 100,000-meter square identifier and a numerical location.

Suunto Ambit2 S also supports the following local grids:

British (BNG)
Finnish (ETRS-TM35FIN)
Finnish (KKJ)
Irish (IG)
Swedish (RT90)
Swiss (CH1903)
UTM NAD27 Alaska
UTM NAD27 Conus
UTM NAD83
New Zealand (NZTM2000)

NOTE:

Some grids cannot be used in the areas north of 84°N and south of 80°S, or outside the countries that they are intended for.

GPS accuracy and power saving

When customizing sport modes, you can define the GPS fix interval using the GPS accuracy setting in Movescount. The shorter the interval, the better the accuracy during exercise.

By increasing the interval and lowering the accuracy, you can extend the battery life.

The GPS accuracy options are:

Best: ~ 1 sec fix interval, highest power consumption
Good: ~ 5 sec fix interval, moderate power consumption
OK: ~ 60 sec fix interval, lowest power consumption
Off: no GPS fix

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 S 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)

PAIRING POD/HEART RATE BELT

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 S :

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 .

NOTE:

If the foot POD connection was unstable during the calibration exercise, you might not be able to adjust the distance in the distance summary. Make sure that foot POD is attached properly according to instructions and try again.

If you are running without a foot POD, you can still get running cadence from the your wrist. Running cadence measured from wrist is used together with FusedSpeed and is always on for specific sport modes including running, trail running, treadmill, orienteering, and track and field.

If a foot POD is found at start of an exercise, running cadence measured from wrist is overwritten by foot POD cadence.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Water resistance

Suunto Ambit2 S is water resistant to 50 meters/164 feet/5 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.

NOTE:

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

To maintain water resistance, it is recommended to:

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

Charging the battery

>

The duration on a single charge depends on how Suunto Ambit2 S 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 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 .
