SUUNTO D6 - Manual (Page 19)

4. GETTING STARTED WITH YOUR SUUNTO D6
To get the most out of your Suunto D6, take some time to personalize it and really
make it YOUR computer. Set the correct time and date, as well as the alarms and
tones, unit and backlight settings, then calibrate and test the compass function.
Suunto D6 is a very user-friendly dive computer, and you will quickly become familiar
with its functions. Make absolutely sure that you know your computer and have it set
up as you want it BEFORE getting into the water.
4.1. TIME mode settings
The first thing you'll want to do with your Suunto D6, is to set the TIME mode shortcuts:
alarm, time, dual time, date, units, backlight, and tones. In this section, we look at how
to do this.
Before that, however, take a look at the figure below, which shows how to toggle
between different shortcuts in the TIME mode.
NOTE The seconds display reverts to date display after 5 minutes in
order to save battery power.
