Suunto X6HR manual Setting the compass declination

Page 38

You can also remove the battery and then insert it again. Also make sure the compass remains level during calibration—otherwise the calibration may fail.

If the calibration continues to fail, contact the authorized Suunto service.

NOTE: The level symbol is not shown if the compass is calibrated when the heart rate monitor is active.

Setting the compass declination

You can compensate for the difference between true north and magnetic north by adjusting the compass declination. The declination can be found, for example, in the topographic maps of your local area.

To set the compass declination:

1.In the Function menu, scroll to Compass with the arrow buttons and press Suunto.

2.In the compass menu, move to Declin with the arrow buttons and press Suunto. The first row of the next window is activated.

3.Select the correct option (Off/East/West) with the arrow buttons and press Suunto. The degree field is activated.

4.Set the degrees with the arrow buttons. The initial value is either 0.0° or the value accepted when last setting the declination.

5.Press Suunto. You return to the compass menu.
