WARNING: People who have a pacemaker, defibrillator, or other implanted
electronic device use the hear rate belt at their own risk. Before starting the initial
use of the heart rate belt, we recommend an exercise test under a doctor’s
supervision. This ensures the safety and reliability of the pacemaker and heart rate
belt when being used simultaneously. Exercise may include some risk, especially
for those who have been inactive. We strongly advise you to consult your doctor
prior to beginning a regular exercise program.
NOTE: Suunto Ambit cannot receive the heart rate belt signal under water.
TIP: Machine-wash the heart rate belt regularly after use to avoid unpleasant
odor and to ensure good data quality and functionality. Only wash the textile strap.
