1. INTRODUCTION
1.1. GENERAL INFORMATION
The Wristop Computer is a reliable high precision electronic instrument, intended for recreational use. The
outdoor enthusiast who enjoys venturing in sports like skiing, kayaking, mountain climbing, hiking and biking
can rely on the Wristop Computer’s accuracy.
The ergonomically designed Wristop Computer weighs only 2.3 ounces or 65 grams and is accompanied by
an LCD featuring a large number display intended to be clearly visible in almost any condition.
Note: The Wristop Computer should not be substituted for acquiring measurements that require professional or
industrial precision and should not be used to acquire measurements when skydiving, hang gliding, paragliding,
gyrocopter riding and ying small aircraft.
IMPORTANT NOTE: A PULLOUT PAGE LOCATED ON THE FRONT INSIDE COVER OF THIS MANUAL
GRAPHICALLY ILLUSTRATES AND IDENTIFIES THE PROPERTIES OF THE WRISTOP COMPUTER
AND LCD DISPLAY. THIS PAGE IS DESIGNED TO FACILITATE THE USER’S UNDERSTANDING OF
THE FUNCTIONS AND PROCESSES TO SETUP THOSE FUNCTIONS.
1.2. MAIN FUNCTIONS (MODES)
The main functions (modes) in Suunto Spartan are Time, Altimeter and Barometer.
In each of the functions, associated sub modes provide further enhancements to the usefulness of its owner.
