The third row contains shortcuts to three functions. To change the function, press Stop/CL.
•Altitude: In Alti use, it displays the current altitude, and in Baro use, it displays the reference altitude. For more information about the Alti and Baro uses, see section 3.3.2.
•Bearing tracking: Bearing tracking helps you to follow a certain bearing in terrain. When you scroll to bearing tracking for the first time, it is 0°. To activate the search for bearing, move your Suunto X6/X6M horizontally until the chosen bearing is displayed on the first row and press Start. The selected bearing is displayed on the third row until you select a new bearing with the Start button. When you have selected the bearing tracking, the compass rose in the middle row displays a dotted vertical line indicating the bearing tracking set.
NOTE: The tracking always remembers the last direction selected, when you next scroll to it.
•Time: Displays the current time.
NOTE: The shortcuts will also function normally in the
3.3.2. Use
With the Use function you can define whether the air pressure measurement is used to measure the altitude or to represent the weather conditions.
If you select Alti (altimeter), the measured air pressure is displayed as altitude and all changes of atmospheric pressure are interpreted as changes in altitude.
