1. INTRODUCTION
Suunto Bike Pod is an accessory for your Suunto t6 wristop computer. It is a
light-weight, wireless speed and distance sensor that combines new speed and
distance functions with the detailed heart rate analysis and training benefits of
your Suunto t6, creating one of the most advanced cycling-specific training tools
available.
Suunto Bike Pod measures your cycling speed and distance via a separate
spoke magnet. Measurement is effortless and when properly calibrated, also
very accurate.
Suunto Bike Pod adds new features to your Suunto t6. When you have paired
the Bike Pod with your Suunto t6, the wristop computer displays your current
speed, the distance from start and the lap distance. Furthermore, it stores lap
times automatically according to the distance set by the user, alarms for too fast
or too slow speed, and offers a distance-based interval training function.
NOTE: The Suunto t6 functions related to the use of your Suunto Bike Pod are
explained in the Suunto t6 instruction manual. You can download the latest version of the manual in www.suunto.com.
2. BEFORE USE
2.1. PAIRING YOUR BIKE POD
Before you can use your Suunto Bike Pod, you have to pair it with your Suunto
t6. This process can be compared to the tuning of a normal radio. To be able to
listen to a specific radio station, you have to tune the radio to the correct frequency. Similarly, to be able to use your Suunto t6 with a specific Bike Pod, you
must pair them with each other. This is only necessary when you use your Bike
Pod for the first time.
To pair your Bike Pod with your Suunto t6:
1. Remove the Bike Pod battery.
2. Short-circuit the - and + metal plates in the battery compartment by connecting them with a metal instrument.
3. Select Pair in the Training menu of your Suunto t6.
4. Select Bike POD. The message ‘TURN ON NEW DEVICE’ is displayed.
5. Insert the battery in the battery compartment and wait for acknowledgement.
Within 30 seconds, either ‘PAIRING COMPLETE’ or, if pairing failed, ‘NO DEVICES
FOUND’ is displayed.
6. If pairing is successful, close the battery compartment cover. If pairing fails,
remove the battery and repeat steps 2-5.
3. USING YOUR BIKE POD
3.1. ATTACHMENT
Suunto Bike Pod is attached to the hub of the front wheel, and the spoke magnet is attached to a spoke as close to the Bike Pod as possible.
1. Loosen the front wheel attachment mechanism. (You can attach the Bike Pod
to forks that use both the quick-release mechanism and traditional axle bolts.)
2. Position your Bike Pod horizontally on the front axle between the fork and the
hub in a way that the Bike Pod logo points towards the wheel.
3. Fasten the wheel attachment mechanism.
4. Attach the spoke magnet to a spoke of the front wheel at the same level as
the sensor. The magnet must be facing the speed sensor, and pass it at a
correct distance. A suitable distance is 4-6 mm (0.2").
3.2. ACTIVATION AND DEACTIVATION
Your Bike Pod is activated automatically when the spoke magnet passes the
speed sensor i.e. when the front wheel spins. It stays active throughout the
cycling trip and for half an hour after the sensor has stopped getting readings
from the magnet.
3.3. CONNECTION
To use your Bike Pod, you must establish a connection between it and your
Suunto t6. This can be compared to listening to a radio. To be able to receive
the radio broadcast signal, you need to switch the radio on. Similarly, for your
Suunto t6 to be able to receive the signal from your Bike Pod, the devices must
be connected. You need to establish the connection every time you want to use
your Suunto t6 with your Bike Pod.
1. Spin the front wheel so that the spoke magnet passes the sensor.
2. Select Connect in the Speed/Distance menu of your Suunto t6. Suunto t6
informs you when the device has been found.
If the connection fails, Suunto t6 displays the message ‘NO DEVICES FOUND’. In
this case, spin the front wheel again to ensure that the Bike Pod is active and try
again.
3.4. CALIBRATION
Suunto Bike Pod measures your bike’s speed and distance from the rotation of
the front wheel. Since a single rotation of a smaller wheel does not take you as
far as that of a larger wheel, your Suunto t6 needs a specific calibration factor
that takes the tire size into consideration. For the measurements to be accurate,
you need to adjust the calibration factor of your Suunto t6 to match that of your
wheel size.
To define the exact calibration factor, measure the tire circumference or calibrate your Bike Pod using a known distance.
3.4.1. Measuring the circumference manually
1. Set a measuring cord on the floor.
2. Ride along the cord so that the tires rotate fully at least once. (The measurement is more accurate if you sit on your bike and do not just push it along the
cord.)
3. Measure the covered distance with the accuracy of a millimeter. (Divide the
distance with the number of rotations if more than one rotation.)
4. Divide the circumference by 2050 (e.g. 2096 / 2050 = 1.022439 = 1.022).
3.4.2. Calibrating the Bike Pod using a known distance
1. Select Connect in the SPD/DST menu of your Suunto t6.
2. Reset the distance measurement at the startline.
3. Press START/STOP in SPD/DST mode and cover a known distance with
your bike.
4. Press START/STOP to stop the measurement.
5. Select Calibrate in the SPD/DST mode.
6. Select Bike POD and replace the measured distance with the correct distance.
3.4.3. Calibrating the Bike Pod using the calibration factor table
You can also calibrate the Bike Pod using the calibration factor table.The data in
the table comes from various tire manufacturers and the European Tire and Rim
Technical Organisation. Because of the differences in the tire pressure, tread
pattern, and measurement methods, the table is only indicative.
1. Check your tire size, and find the appropriate calibration factor in the table
(see Appendix).
2.
3.
4.
5.
In the Speed/Distance menu, select Calibrate.
Select Bike POD.
Select Cal.
Set the correct calibration factor with UP/DOWN.
3.5. REPLACING THE BATTERY
The average battery life is approximately 300 hours. When
your Bike Pod does not work properly any more, you may
need to change the battery.
1. Open the battery compartment cover with a coin.
2. Remove the old battery.
3. Place the new battery into the battery compartment with the positive side
facing up and close the cover.
NOTE: Replace the battery with extreme care to ensure that your Bike Pod
OP
remains water-resistant. Careless battery replacement may void warranty.
NOTE: To reduce the risk of fire or burns, do not crush, puncture or dispose of
used batteries in fire or water. Only replace them with manufacturer-specified
batteries. Recycle or dispose of used batteries properly.
NOTE: Suunto recommends that the battery cover and the O ring are changed
simultaneously with the battery to ensure that your Bike Pod remains water
resistant. Replacement covers are available with replacement batteries.

of your cycling speed, and a possibility to view all the graphs in relation to distance instead of time.
NOTE: For more information on the new features, see the Suunto Training
Manager help.
