Activate Touchscreen during training

Hi together!

I’m a new S9PP user, so i’m just getting started with the watch. I already have one question: Is it possible to activate the touchscreen during an activity?

I have already looked through the manual and also searched this forum, but can’t find an answer.

Thank you very much!
Best regards, Flo

yes, you need to use the custom battery mode of each sportsmode, and with this custom battery mode, there is an option to activate touchscreen.

@flobru3101 yep! select any activity > battery mode > custom > touch

there is no winner :), same thing explained differently at the same time, let see which phrase the requester will prefer

Thanks guys! Both answers were equally helpful

As i have already open a new thread, may i ask another question (yes i’m definitely new to Suunto. Just switched from a Forerunner245):

What algorithm is behind the display when it comes to turning it off completely?

Is there a way to force that? I can’t find a setting, where i can choose if the display should completely turn off after some time.

Thanks again!

@flobru3101 look into custom battery you’ll find it there
battery mode > custom > display timeout

available only during activities

@robis

Thanks for that fast anwser!
So it’s not possible to set a display timeout in general, when i’m not tracking an activity?

@flobru3101 nope, after all we are on a MIP display…

no. There is a timeout when the watch is not moved for a certain amount of time to hidle the screen, but it is turning on as soon as moved (like reposing on a shelf). But as you are wearing it, you may move it, and display is still on.
