Page 34

The magnetic sensor of the compass functions for 40 seconds at a time. After this period the compass moves into power-saving mode and the message “start compass” is displayed. Press Start to activate the compass again.

Shortcuts

The third row contains shortcuts to three functions. To change the function, press Stop/CL.

Altitude: In Alti use, it displays the current altitude, and in Baro use, it displays the reference altitude. For more information about the Alti and Baro uses, see section 3.3.2.

Bearing tracking: Bearing tracking helps you to follow a certain bearing in terrain. When you scroll to bearing tracking for the first time, it is 0°. To activate the search for bearing, move your Suunto X6hr horizontally until the chosen bearing is displayed on the first row and press Start. The selected bearing is displayed on the third row until you select a new bearing with the Start button. When you have selected the bearing tracking, the compass rose in the middle row displays a dotted vertical line indicating the bearing tracking set.

NOTE: The tracking remembers the last direction selected the next time you scroll to it.

Time: Displays the current time.

NOTE: The shortcuts also function normally in the power-saving mode. When you select the bearing tracking shortcut, the compass is automatically activated.
