3.1. General Information

Suunto X6hr has five modes: Time, Compass, Weather, Hiking and Chrono. Heart rate is displayed in the Hiking and Chrono modes. The symbols for each mode are displayed on the left of the Suunto X6hr display. When you select a mode, the active mode indicator appears on the display next to the symbol of the selected mode. If the icons are set to on, they also display the active mode.

To select a mode, press either the up or down arrow while in the main display of any mode and scroll the modes. During scrolling, the icon of the selected mode and its name appear on the display. When you stop scrolling, the icon stays for a little while and then the main display of that mode opens automatically.

NOTE: In addition to the active mode indicator, the Use indicator can also be displayed next to the Compass or Weather mode symbols. If the Use is set to Alti, the indicator is next to the Compass mode symbol and if the Use is set to Baro, the indicator is next to the Weather mode symbol. For more information about the Alti or Baro Use, refer to chapter 3.3.2.
