Calibration

Because of changes in the surrounding magnetic field, the Suunto D9 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 doesn’t seem to operate properly, or after replacing the dive computer's battery.

Strong electromagnetic fields, such as powerlines, stereo speakers, and magnets can affect the compass calibration. It is therefore advisable to calibrate the compass if your Suunto D9 has been exposed to these fields.

NOTE

NOTE

When traveling overseas, it is recommended that you recalibrate the compass at the new location before using it.

Remember to hold the Suunto D9 level during the calibration process.
