Suunto D6I manual Declination

To calibrate the compass:

HOLD THE

DEVICE LEVEL

AND SLOWLY

ROTATE 360°.

THEN SLOWLY TURN THE DEVICE 90° TO VERTICAL POSITION.

If the calibration fails several times in a row, it is possible that you are in an area with sources of magnetism, such as large metal objects, power lines or electric appliances. Move to another location and try to calibrate the compass again. If the calibration continues to fail, contact an authorized Suunto service center.

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, from sea charts or topographic maps of the local area.
