2.1. DISPLAY AND BUTTONS 2.1.1. Mode indicator

On the left side of the display there is a mode indicator that shows you the currently active mode. The mode indicator displays the modes from the top down in the following order: TIME, ALTI/BARO, COMPASS, NAVIGATION and ACTIVITY. The active mode is indicated by the moving segment next to the indicator bar.

2.1.2. Battery level Indicator

On the right side of the display there is a battery level indicator. When the indicator is in the red zone, the battery needs recharging. When the battery is being recharged, the indicator moves up continuously until the battery is full, and the indicator is shown in full length.

2.1.3. Alarm symbols

Suunto X9 can display three different alarm symbols: Time, weather and altitude. When you set a time alarm, its symbol is displayed at the right side of the lower horizontal dot line. When you set the weather alarm, its symbol appears underneath the left side of the dot line. When you set the altitude alarm, its symbol appears on top of the left side of the dot line¨

2.1.4. GPS reception indicator

When the GPS is set on, the GPS reception indicator appears on the upper horizontal dotted line of the display. Once the GPS is on but does not have satellite reception, an empty, rectangular and blinking dot is displayed. When the GPS has a fix, 1 to 5 filled rectangular dots are displayed. The quantity depends on the reception quality. More dots represent better satellite coverage and signal reception.
