Your Suunto n3 indicates the strength of the broadcast signal by displaying a signal strength icon. The icon appears in the upper-right corner of the status bar on most channel screens. The status bar will appear on most channel screens a few seconds after the last button press. Even at low signal strength, your Suunto n3 should receive information. Signal strength can vary based on your location. Sometimes topography (hills, valleys), building structures, or nearby electronics can interfere with the broadcast signal that your Suunto n3 uses to receive information. The network sends two types of information to your Suunto n3--broadcast and personal. Broadcast information--such as news stories and current temperatures--is sent to every Suunto n3 with MSN Direct, but only the information that you want to see is actually captured by your Suunto n3. Regardless of where you travel in North America, as long as you are within an MSN Direct coverage area, you should receive broadcast information. Your personal information--such as your messages and calendar appointments--is encrypted with a unique key to help maintain your privacy. You receive personal information when you are within the range of your home coverage area. Your home coverage area is the metropolitan area where you live. For more information about your home coverage area, including what to do when you travel, go to the MSN Direct Web site at www.msndirect.com and click the Help link. 9 2.5 STATUS ICONS Your Suunto n3 displays various icons.
