• If the calibration succeeds, the message “
COMPLETE
” is displayed and Suunto X6
HR
returns to the Function menu.
• If the calibration fails, the message “
TRY AGAIN
” is displayed and the process starts
again from the countdown. It is normal to have a successful calibration on second
attempt.
• If the calibration fails five times, the message “
FAILED
,
REFER MANUAL
” is displayed
and Suunto X6
HR
returns to the compass menu.
If the calibration fails five times in a row, it is possible that you are in an area that has
sources of magnetism, such as large metal objects, power lines, loudspeakers and
electric motors. Move to another location and try to calibrate the compass again.
You can also remove the battery and then insert it again. Also make sure the compass
remains level during calibration—otherwise the calibration may fail.
If the calibration continues to fail, contact the authorized Suunto service.
NOTE: The level symbol is not shown if the compass is calibrated when the heart rate
monitor is active.
Setting the compass declination
You can compensate for the difference between true north and magnetic north by ad-
justing the compass declination. The declination can be found, for example, in the
topographic maps of your local area.
To set the compass declination:
1. In the Function menu, scroll to
Compass with the arrow buttons and press Suunto .
2. In the compass menu, move to Declin with the arrow buttons and press Suunto . The
first row of the next window is activated.
3. Select the correct option (Off/East/West) with the arrow buttons and press Suunto .
The degree field is activated.
