4. ADDITIONAL FEATURES

4.1 PC INTERFACE

With the PC Interface you can transfer information between Suunto M9 and your computer. The information can be either routes stored in the Suunto M9 memory, tracks recorded with the tracking function or waypoints. When the data has been transferred, you can easily organize, view and add related information in it with the Suunto Sail Manager software.

The PC Interface cable and the Suunto Sail Manager software

are delivered in the same package with your Suunto M9. The installation instructions for the software can be found on the cover of the Suunto Sail Manager CD-ROM.

The PC interface allows the use of the ARCS electronic charts. The ARCS (Admiralty Raster Chart Service) charts are manufactured by the United Kingdom Hydrographic Office, UKHO. Suunto M9 contains the user permits for the charts and has to be connected to the docking station and the PC while charts are read. Check your local dealer for the availability of the ARCS products.

NOTE: When purchasing ARCS charts you must have your user permit and PIN code available in order to register for the use of the chart. The user permit and PIN code is provided in the Suunto M9 sales package.
