RECEIVING THE TIME
When your Suunto n3i receives a broadcast signal, it should automatically receive the
correct time from an atomic clock. This happens even if you have not yet activated
the MSN Direct service. As long as your Suunto n3i is receiving a signal, you do not
need to set the time. The time is accurate to a few thousands of a second and
automatically adjusts for daylight savings time and leap years. In addition, your
Suunto n3i automatically changes to different time zones as you travel from place to
place.
Note: When you turn on your Suunto n3i, it may take a few minutes to receive the
correct time from an atomic clock. This happens even if you have not yet activated
