AC APPEARS IN THE TOP RIGHT

CORNER OF THE DISPLAY, WHEN THE DIVE

COMPUTER IS IN CONTACT WITH WATER.

THIS ALSO ACTIVATES THE DIVE MODE.

Contamination or dirt on the water contact may prevent this automatic activation. It is therefore important that the water contact is kept clean. The contact can be cleaned with fresh water and a soft brush, for example a tooth brush.

4.3. Learning how to use your compass

Suunto Cobra3 integrates a digital compass, which can be used both while diving and on dry land, and can be accessed from either the DIVE mode or TIME mode.

IF ACCESSED FROM TIME MODE,

TIME AND BEARING ARE DISPLAYED AT

THE BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN.

IF ACCESSED FROM DIVE MODE,

CURRENT DEPTH AND TIME OR

MAXIMUM DEPTH, AS WELL AS BEARING

OR DIVE TIME OR TEMPERATURE ARE

DISPLAYED.

NOTE	When accessed from DIVE mode, toggle between the alternative
	displays by pressing the UP/DOWN buttons.

4.3.1. Compass display

The Suunto Cobra3 displays the compass as a graphical representation of a compass rose. The rose displays the cardinal and half cardinal points, in addition to which, the current bearing is also displayed numerically.

4.3.2. Locking a bearing

A bearing can be locked to help you follow a selected course, and directional arrows point towards the locked bearing. Locked bearings are stored in the memory for later analysis and are available the next time the compass is activated.

TO LOCK A BEARING,

PRESS SELECT.

The Suunto Cobra3 also provides help for navigating square and triangular patterns, as well as navigating a return heading. This is made possible by following graphical symbols in the center of the compass display:
