Calibration

Because of changes in the surrounding magnetic field, the Suunto D6i electronic compass occasionally needs to be re-calibrated. During the calibration process, the compass adjusts itself to the surrounding magnetic field . As a basic rule, you should calibrate the compass whenever it does not seem to operate properly, or after replacing the dive computer's battery.
