Pairing POD/heart rate belt
Pair your Suunto Ambit2 with optional Suunto PODs (Bike POD, Power POD, heart rate belt, Foot POD or Cadence POD) and ANT+ PODs to receive additional speed, distance, power and cadence information during exercise. Visit www.thisisant.com/directory for a list of compatible ANT+ products.
You can pair up to six PODs at a time:
- three Bike PODs (only one Bike POD can be used at a time)
- one Cadence POD
- one Foot POD
- one Power POD
If you pair more PODs, Suunto Ambit2 remembers the latest paired POD of each POD type.
The heart rate belt and/or POD included in your Suunto Ambit2 package are already paired. Pairing is required only if you want to use a new heart rate belt or a POD with the device.
To pair a POD/heart rate belt:
- Activate the POD/heart rate belt:
- Bike POD: rotate the tire with the installed Bike POD.
- Power POD: rotate the crank or tire with the installed Power POD.
- Heart rate belt: moisten the contact areas and put on the belt.
- Cadence POD: rotate the bike pedal with the installed Cadence POD.
- Foot POD: tilt Foot POD 90 degrees.
- Keep Next pressed to enter the options menu.
- Scroll to Pair with Light Lock and enter with Next.
- Scroll the accessory options Bike POD, Power POD, HR belt, Foot POD and Cadence POD with Start Stop and Light Lock.
- Press Next to select a POD or heart rate belt and start pairing.
- Hold your Suunto Ambit2 close to the POD/belt (<30 cm) and wait for the device to notify that the POD/belt has been paired.
If the pairing fails, press Start Stop to retry, or Light Lock to return to the pairing setting.
NOTE:
You can pair different types of power PODs with your Suunto Ambit2. For more information, see the power POD user guide.
TIP:
You can also activate the heart rate belt by moistening and pressing both electrode contact areas.
Troubleshooting: Heart rate belt pairing fails
If the heart rate belt pairing fails, try the following:
- Check that the strap is connected to the module.
- Check that you are wearing the heart rate belt correctly (see Putting on heart rate belt).
- Check that the electrode contact areas of the heart rate belt are moist.
For more information on pairing PODs, see the POD user guide.
