Suunto T3(c/d) ~ T4(c/d) ~ Suunto T6(c/d) pairing instructions
Please check this first...
Suunto products are second to none with regard to quality and longevity. However, there has been a recent issue with HRM belts (traditional style) and FOOT PODs (new small style) that is worth highlighting. The +ve battery connector on some of these units has a tendency to OVER COMPRESS. This results in an intermittent or total open circuit between the connector and the battery. The symptoms of this are - WILL NOT TURN ON - or - TURNS ON / OFF for no reason - or - GENERALLY INTERMITENT behaviour. If you are suffering from one of these symptoms, please check the battery as shown below (very similar for FOOT POD)
