GPS incorporates a set of satellites that orbit the Earth at the altitude of 20,000 km at the speed of 4 km/s. The built-in GPS receiver in Suunto Ambit is extremely sensitive and can pick up even the faintest signals. It is optimized for a wrist unit use and receives data from a very wide angle. 7.1.1 Getting GPS signal Suunto Ambit activates the GPS automatically when you select an exercise mode, determine your location, or start navigating to a waypoint. NOTE: When you activate the GPS for the first time, it will take longer than usual since the GPS has no reference to its current location. This may also happen if the GPS has not been used for a long time. Subsequent GPS starts will take less time. TIP: To minimize the GPS initiation time, hold the unit steady in one position with the display facing up and make sure you are located in an open area so that the unit has a clear view to the sky. 18 Troubleshooting: No GPS signal ● For an optimal signal, point the upper part of the device upwards. The best signal can be received in an open area with a clear view to the sky. ● The GPS receiver usually works well inside tents and other thin covers. However, objects, buildings, dense vegetation or cloydy weather can cause problems to the GPS signal reception. ● GPS signal does not penetrate any solid constructions or water. Therefore do not try to activate the GPS for example inside buildings, caves or under water. ● To recover from GPS failures, put the device into sleep mode (see Section 11.1 Sleep mode on page 45). When the device is in the sleep mode, wait for 5 minutes and then wake up the device by pressing any button. This restarts the GPS and clears all GPS data. CAUTION: Do not use the GPS RESET function, as it will make the device inoperable. 7.1.2 GPS datum and location formats Location format is the way the GPS receiver's position is displayed on the device. All the formats relate to the same location, they only express it in a different way. To help you decide which format to use, check your map datum and use the same location format. You can select from the following location formats: ● latitude/longitude (WGS84) is the most commonly used coordinate format and consists of degrees that can be further broken into minutes and seconds: ○ Hddd.ddddd°: degrees and decimal degrees 19 en ○ Hddd°mm.mmm’: degrees, minutes and decimal minutes ○ Hddd°mm’ss.s”: degrees, minutes, seconds and decimal seconds ● 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. 7.1.3 FusedSpeed FusedSpeed is a unique combination of GPS and wrist acceleration sensor readings for measuring your running speed more accurately. The 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. Fused speed is suitable for measuring running and walking speed. FusedSpeed 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 the GPS signal, for example, due to buildings blocking the signal, Suunto Ambit is able to continue showing accurate speed with the help of the GPS calibrated accelometer. NOTE: Fused speed is meant for exercises that mainly contain walking or running. FusedSpeed is used as default in the following exercise modes: ● trail running ● triathlon ● running 20 ● soccer ● orienteering ● multisport ● floorball ● football The rest of the exercise modes use the basic GPS speed. en NOTE: When you change from running to biking, the FusedSpeed system notices that the wrist acceleration is not giving valid speed readings. The device deactivates FusedSpeed and only uses the GPS speed in biking. When you change to running after biking, the system notices it and activates FusedSpeed again. 7.2 Checking your location Suunto Ambit shows your current location in multiple coordinate systems, including military grids (see Section 7.1.2 GPS datum and location formats on page 19). For information on changing the coordinate format, see Chapter 11 Adjusting settings on page 43. To check your location: 1. Press [Start Stop] to enter the start menu. 2.

About 50 meters before the waypoint location the device informs you that you are arriving at your destination. 23 en 8 USING ALTI & BARO MODE In ALTI & BARO mode you can view the current altitude or barometric pressure. It offers three profiles: Automatic, Barometer and Altimeter. For information on setting profiles, see Section 8.2.1 Setting profiles on page 26. You can access different views depending on which profile is activated when you are in the ALTI & BARO mode. 8.1 How Alti & Baro works To get correct readings with ALTI & BARO mode, it is important to understand how Suunto Ambit calculates altitude and sea level air pressure. Suunto Ambit 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. 8.1.1 Getting correct readings If you are engaged in an outdoor activity that requires you to know the air pressure, you need to enter the altitude reference value for your location. This is found on most topographic maps. Your Suunto Ambit will now give you the correct readings. To get the correct altitude readings, you need to enter the sea level air pressure reference value. The sea level air pressure reference value relevant to your location can be found in the weather section of the local newspaper or on the websites of national weather services. 24 Absolute air pressure is measured constantly Absolute air pressure + altitude reference = Sea level air pressure Absolute air pressure + sea level air pressure reference = 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. If local weather is stable, you do not need to set reference values. 8.1.2 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. 25 en Possible real life situation: 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 Ambit 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 Ambit altitude reference value accordingly. Your altitude readings are correct again. 8.2 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, floorball). To get correct readings, you need to match the profile to your activity. You can either let Suunto Ambit decide a suitable profile for the activity, or choose a profile yourself. 8.2.1 Setting profiles To set the ALTI & BARO profile: 1. Keep [Next] pressed to enter the settings. 2. In the settings, scroll to ALTI-BARO using [Light Lock] and enter with [Next]. 3. Select Profile with [Next]. 4.

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 Section 8.2.1 Setting profiles on page 26. When the Altimeter profile is activated, you can access the following views with [View]: ● your current altitude ● altitude information on a 12-hour timeline in graph form ● current time, or alternatively the temperature 8.3.1 Recording altitude The log recorder stores all your movements in altitude between the start and stop times. If you are engaged in an activity in which your altitude changes, you can record the altitude changes and view the stored information later. You can also set altitude marks (laps), allowing you to view the duration and 27 en ascent/descent height between your previous mark and current mark. Your marks are stored in the device memory and you can access them later. To record altitude: 1. Make sure that the Altimeter (or Automatic?) profile is activated. 2. Press [Start Stop] to enter the start menu. 3. Scroll to EXCERCISE with [Start Stop] or [Light Lock] and enter with [Next]. 4. Scroll the exercise options with [Start Stop] or [Light Lock] and select a suitable option with [Next]. 5. Wait for the device to notify that the HR and/or GPS signal have been found and press [Start Stop] to start recording the log. To start recording the log without HR and/or GPS signal, press [Start Stop] while the device is searching for the signal. Press [Start Stop] again to start recording the log. 8.4 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 Section 8.2.2 Setting reference values on page 27. Changes in the sea level air pressure are presented graphically in the middle of the display. The display shows the recording of the last 27 hours with a recording interval of 1 hour. When the Barometer profile is activated, the barometer icon is shown on the display. For information on setting the ALTI & BARO profile, see Section 8.2.1 Setting profiles on page 26. 28 When the Barometer profile has been activated, Suunto Ambit shows you the following barometric information: ● the current sea level air pressure ● a graph showing the changes in the sea level pressure during the last 27 h (1 h recording interval) in EXERCISE or TIME mode ● the current temperature, or alternatively the altitude reference value 8.5 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. Depending on which profile is active, you can access the Altimeter or Barometer profile views with [View]. 29 en 9 USING COMPASS Suunto Ambit includes a compass that allows you to orient yourself in relation to the magnetic North. The tilt-compensated compass gives you accurate readings even if the compass is tilted. COMPASS mode includes the following information: ● icon indicator showing the bearing? ● compass heading in degrees ● alternatively the current heading in cardinal and half-cardinal points, or the current time The compass will switch itself to power saving mode after a minute. Reactivate it with [Start Stop]. 9.1 Calibrating compass You can start the compass calibration in COMPASS mode, if the compass has not been calibrated. If you have already calibrated the compass and want to re-calibrate it, you can start the calibration in the settings. NOTE: The compass calibration includes two sequences. The sequences follow each other automatically, so read all the instructions before starting the calibration. To access the compass calibration settings: 1.

Keep the device tilted 90º until you hear the confirmation sound. The text Calibration successful is shown on the display. If the calibration does not succeed, the text Calibration failed is shown on the display. To retry the calibration, press [Start Stop]. TIP: To ensure that the device is level, place it on a table, or against a wall to ensure it is tilted 90º. 9.2 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 the National Geophysical Data Center for the USA). 31 en 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: 1. Keep [Next] pressed to enter the settings. 2. In the settings, go to GENERAL using [Light Lock] and enter with [Next]. 3. Go to Compass using [Start Stop] or [Light Lock] and enter with [Next]. 4. Press [Next] to select Declination. 5. Turn the declination off or choose W (west) or E (east). 6. Set the declination value with [Start Stop] or [Light Lock]. 7.
