3.3.4. Compass
The compass menu includes functions for either calibrating the compass or setting its
declination.
Calibrating the compass
You should calibrate the compass if it does not seem to work well, for example, when it
displays the wrong compass bearing or the bearing changes too slowly. You should
also calibrate the compass after replacing the battery.
Strong electromagnetic fields, such as electric lines, loudspeakers and magnets, can
affect the compass calibration. Therefore calibrate the compass if your Suunto X6
HR
has been exposed to these fields.
You should also calibrate the compass before a long trip.
NOTE: Calibrate the compass before using it for the first time.
NOTE: Remember to hold Suunto X6
HR
level during the calibration.
To calibrate the compass:
1. In the Function menu, scroll to
Compass with the arrow buttons and press Suunto .
2. In the compass menu, move to
Calib
with the arrow buttons and press
Suunto
.
3. The screen displays the text “
ROTATE
360º” and begins a countdown from 5 to 0.
When the countdown reaches 0, the calibration starts. Hold Suunto X6
HR
level and
slowly rotate the device in a full clockwise or counterclockwise circle.
• The level symbol indicates that calibration is in progress. When the cross is in the
middle of the symbol, the Suunto X6
HR
is held level. The animation represents the
progress of the calibration.
