4. GETTING STARTED WITH YOUR SUUNTO D9

To get the most out of your Suunto D9, take some time to personalize it and really make it YOUR computer. Set the correct time and date, as well as the alarms and tones, unit and backlight settings, then calibrate and test the compass function. If you are going to use the optional wireless pressure transmitter, install it and enable the pressure transmission in the Suunto D9’s settings then test the pressure transmission.

Suunto D9 is a very user-friendly dive computer, and you will quickly become familiar with its functions. Make absolutely sure that you know your computer and have it set up as you want it BEFORE getting into the water.

Before that, however, take a look at the figure below, which shows how to toggle between different shortcuts in the TIME mode.
