Note!
Always before using compass, make sure its calibration is valid by rotating the
unit horizontally and observing the readings changing in the correct way. If in doubt
perform the user calibration according to the instructions. See section 3.4.3
Calibrating the Compass.

3.4.3 Calibrating the Compass
You should calibrate the compass if it does not seem to work
well, for example, when it displays the wrong compass
heading or the heading changes too slowly. Strong electro-
magnetic fields, such as electric lines, loudspeakers and
magnets, can affect the compass operation. Therefore you
should calibrate the compass if your Suunto M9i has been
exposed to these fields.
NOTE:
Calibrate the compass before using it for the first
time, and before you leave for an extended outdoor activity.
NOTE:
Remember to hold the Suunto M9i level in the plane
of calibration during the calibration sequence.
To calibrate the compass:
1. In the Set menu scroll to
Calibrate
and short press
Enter
.
2. Hold the Suunto M9i horizontally level and rotate it 360 de-
grees for 30 seconds.
3. When the calibration is finished, you
return to the Set menu.
